Remember when the DDT and Superkick actually ended matches? In this clip from Down The Middle, we dive deep into how legendary moves like Jake "The Snake" Roberts' DDT and Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music have gone from feared finishers to just another transition. 👀
We break down why the DDT was originally devastating, how today's wrestlers like Alexa Bliss, RVD, and Matt Striker have evolved the move—and why taking a DDT the right way is an art form. Plus, we debate why some moves like the spear are still treated like finishers while others aren't.
Is it overexposure, psychology, or just fans getting smarter? Let’s talk wrestling logic, kayfabe, and what truly sells in the squared circle today. 💥
