I loved Too Cool back in the day. Scotty too Hotty and Grand Master Sexy were an entertaining duo. The crowd popped for them, and those pops were quite big before their end. Hell, they even got Rakishi, one of the biggest guys back in the day on it, and the crowd ate that shit up! Miss the late 90s and early 2000s or wrestling, the attitude era was simply the best!
Obviously with a top 10, some will be left out. My honorable mentions would be: 1) Mankind when he reached into his trunks and pulled out Mr Socko. You knew his opponent was about to taste defeat...literally. 2) Rakishi, whenever an opponent fell prone in the corner, and he would glance back with a knowing look, before delivering the stinkface. Of the ones you did include, Edge and Orton hold my top spots.

That goddamn smirk....you know something good is coming. 😂😂😂
1:40 Regarding the “Attitude Adjustment” or as it was originally called the “F.U.” Brick Lesnar’s finishing move was called the “F5” which is a Death Valley driver with a bit of a spin. Hence the name (referring to an F5 tornado). Whilst not the same move as John Cena’s was more of a traditional Death Valley Driver, they named his the “F.U.” as a response to Lesnar’s “F5”. Then of course once the PG side took over it was completely renamed to the “Attitude Adjustment”.

Just watching all of these brought me back to being a child and how much absolute enjoyment I was having back during this time of wrestling. Back when these were the things we loved to see on these shows. It's a heart of the show that seems to have been lost thru alot of things.
Man the Randy entry only reminds me how I miss him, hope he recovers well and comes back as soon as possible.
Shout out to Otis that stayed keeping that man's Scotty Two Hotty charisma going...So sad people forgot about him😞

Notice the difference between this last signature move & all that precedes it? It's the only one that's defensive & on the receiving end. That's part of the genius of the GOAT- except for 2 spots- most of his moves are on the receiving end & yet the best bad guy ever would get as huge a crowd reaction as the popular offensive moves of everyone else.
