      I have to say, researching this article has\nbeen so much fun. I\u2019ve found myself watching highlight reels and top ten moves\nvideos of wrestlers I\u2019ve not watched much before. Some of the moves on this list\nlook the best when they are sold well, for example, Jushin Liger\u2019s Koppou Kick.\nSome moves surprised me, for example, Carmella? I genuinely think she has made\nthe most in ring progress of anyone on the current WWE roster and her Code of\nSilence submission looks great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It also got me thinking, what makes a move\nlook good? There are various components that go into make a move look good. First,\nit\u2019s timing. As a match builds in momentum, a great move, executed at the right\ntime, can step up the gear of any bout. Signature moves indicate the climax of\na match, those moments when the crowd are on the edge of their seats, waiting\nin anticipation for their favorite signature move to be unleashed are tangible.\nSometimes, it\u2019s the height and speed of a move, Jeff Hardy\u2019s Swanton Bomb and\nAJ Style Phenomenal Forearm always looks best when they get that extra inch in\nthe air and a Spear looks best when someone barges into and gets turned inside\nout.  It\u2019s also about the impact, the\nsound it makes, the thud as the recipient falls to the mat, the look on their\nface, the way they sell it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      My advice is to go lock yourself in a quite\nroom for half an hour and watch each of these moves and enjoy the brilliant\nspectacle that is pro-wrestling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
