The Soap Opera for Men
"Kaaaaplllowww!" was the only sound heard as the Undertaker fell straight to the canvas. While the referee was busy tinkering with an exposed, stainless steel turnbuckle on the right side of the ring, little did he realize what was going on in the match. In the few moments that the referee was preoccupied, Stone Cold Steve Austin managed to obtain a black, metal folding chair from the outskirts of the ring and demolish the Undertaker over the head with it. The crowd was going completely berserk and there was not a single person in the audience that was sitting down anymore. Stone Cold, sensing that the end was near, decided that it was time to finish the match. He lifted the Undertaker up from the canvas and positioned him in the middle ring. The Undertaker, sill oblivious to anything going on around him, stood there helplessly waving his arms in despair.

A scene such as the one depicted above is a somewhat common occurrence that has kept fans riveted at the edge of their seats for years and continues to do so. Although not every match follows such a heart-pounding pace or have the most well known wrestlers involved; the WWF itself is a complex organization with many spheres of influence. The "finishing moves" are the most exciting part of the spectacle of professional wrestling. Once the opponent is tired and weary, a finishing move may be applied to finish the match in style. Three of the most eye popping moves are "The Stunner," "The Rock Bottom," and "The Tombstone." The Stunner is attributed to Stone Cold Steve Austin. The first component of the move consists of Stone Cold fiercely kicking his opponent in stomach. Then, while facing the same the way as his opponent, he grapples his opponent's head while bent over and wraps his sweaty arm over it as he falls to the ground while holding his opponent's head over his shoulder. The force of the fall causes the opponent to become "unconscious" and the match is typically over as soon as Stone Cold goes for the pin. The People's Elbow, also known as the "most electrifying move in sport's history," is attributed to The Rock. This move consists of The Rock placing his opponent in the middle of the ring. The Rock then runs from one of the end ring to the other and eventually plants his elbow right on his opponent's heart as his entire body plunges to the canvas with the strike of "death." Lastly, The Tombstone is dished out
