"FIVE MOVES OF DOOM" is a term created by longtime wrestling writer/recapper Scott Keith, who, yes, first used it in reference to Bret Hart's finishing sequence.

So each shoulder block was considered a separate move, huh?

Didn't the whole "5 moves of doom" as an actual term the internet used start with talking about Bret Hart? You know: atomic drop, back breaker, russian leg sweep, fore arm smash, sharp shooter Pretty sure it was his elbow drop that was listed, not the forearm smash, but yeah, close enough and the rest is on point.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I love Cena's clunky attempts at cruiserweight moves.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I love Cena's clunky attempts at cruiserweight moves. If that's an unpopular opinion I'm a hipster because I love it too. It's like he shouldn't even be able to do it, but reality was presumably busy and only caught him midway through his attempt so he can still sort of do them. For me the fact he's clumsy doing them just adds to it, it's like "This is super hard for him but he's still doing it because he's just that kind of guy." I can see why it would bother people but I love when he pulls it off. The uglier looking, the better.

"Cena then bounces off the ropes, struts his way toward said foe, brushes some dirt off his shoulder and — pow, right in the kisser — drops a closed fist on his enemy’s face"
But closed fists are illegal! Do your job, ref!

I too love how self-aware they are, just because of how audacious it can be. "Yeah, we know about the problems you think we have, but guess what? WE DON'T CARE! "

The top rope leg drop should be included, even if he doesn't break it out every time.
That move is a thing of beauty; seriously one of my favorite moves in WWE right now.

I love how they reference the Armageddon poster with Jericho on it and the hilarious photoshop of Cena and Orton in the opening picture.

I loved the main pic of him carrying a dead Randy Orton

Hahaha. Well played, WWE. I love that the two shoulder blocks count as two different moves.
