As it was rare for Bret to actually go straight to a successful Sharpshooter, this led to the chain still being five moves long. The inverted atomic drop was often substituted for a vertical suplex or a running bulldog.Bret Hart is one of the most well-known examples: his sequence, the original Five Moves of Doom, is the inverted atomic drop, Russian legsweep, backbreaker, elbowdrop from the second rope, and Sharpshooter.This trope refers to a specific sequence of finishing moves, not a limit on total moves. Oh, and by the way, not being able to use more than four moves hails from something else.


The trope's name comes from fan commentary (particularly Scott Keith's) on one of the most infamous examples of using a sequence, Bret Hart, from the newsgroup -wrestling in the mid '90s. If they don't get a chance to return to it though, they're probably going to lose the match. Though the sequence may be interrupted, the wrestler always seems to return to it at the earliest opportunity. Some wrestlers, however, have an entire finishing sequence - a series of moves done in the same order to cap off every match.

Just about every wrestler has a Finishing Move.
