Former WWE star D-Von Dudley recently shared his thoughts on the difficulty of taking various finishing moves in wrestling. In a video on his YouTube channel, Dudley ranked WWE finishers from least to most painful, noting that John Cena’s “Attitude Adjustment” is surprisingly smooth and easy to absorb despite its impact. He praised Cena’s execution, saying it’s one of the easiest finishers to take regularly. On the other hand, Dudley highlighted finishers like Brock Lesnar’s F-5, Batista’s Bomb, and the Spear as some of the toughest to withstand in the ring. Additionally, he mentioned that moves like the Frog Splash and the Swanton Bomb were unpleasant to be on the receiving end of during his career.
