And where did it get its negative stigma?
I remember this term first being used for Bret hart since the end of his matches always seemed to follow the same pattern that ended with a atomic drop, clothesline, back breaker, second rope forearm smash, sharp shooter.
How this went from a reference to Hart to an insult to John Cena is beyond me.

I first heard it used to describe brett hart's moves by Scott Keith in his columns years ago for 411mania.

Every wrestler has at least five moves they're good at and do in just about every match. For some of them it's their ONLY moves ala Hulk Hogan. Hogan being the lowlight, Hart being the highlight, it all depends on how it's represented. Cena has long been an offender, but in my personal opinion is a superior wrestler to Hulk in almost every way.

Yup, Scott Keith coined it for Bret Hart's ending sequence.

The phrase was used specifically for Bret Hart, at least that is how I believe it originated (correct me if I'm wrong). It was never used for Hogan, or anyone else really, except now smarks try to use it for Cena. And you are vastly underrating Hogan's in-ring work during his heyday. The Hulk-Up was not his only moveset. |

Shawn Michaels used to have 5 moves of doom. Flying forearm, stomp to face, bodyslam, top rope elbow, sweet chin music. So it's certainly used by others.

To me 5 moves of doom are the signature moves of any main event level wrestler. I'm kind of surprised that this formula hasn't yet been implemented in any wrestling game. In the Smackdown series you usually just have 2 specials and 2 finishers. I'd like to see a game working with some sort of 5 move of doom combo formula to end a match for sure.

Anyone of his matches do extend beyond the Legdrop combo. |

WWE '12 tried to do something like that, if I remember right. But since guys in that game stayed down for about 6 seconds, it's pretty hard to end a match with it. |

It's the Comeback Sequence certain guys get in the game. HBK, Cena, Orton, Kofi, Morrison, Undertaker, HHH, DB, and someone else. |

Wasn't it used negatively even when it was first coined for Bret Hart? I may be remembering that wrong though.

Legends of Wrestlemania had this in place of finishers. It was a fun change. |

I know Scott Keith often praised Bret Hart so that would make it seem like it was positive. However, for some reason I remember it being used negatively (again I could be wrong). Also, I know Keith often referred to Hogan's finisher as the leg drop of doom, which was used negatively because of how weak the finisher looked, but everyone having to sell for it. |
