7. AJ Styles – A Phenomenal Crossbody
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwcuKpPiD1Q
In terms of sheer insanity, this one probably isn’t as crazy as some. However, AJ Styles executes it to perfection.
These moves are often hard to land perfectly, and AJ did a phenomenal job of that, pun intended. Also, take note – we often just see folks who drop off the cage. AJ actually gets height.
And… Who doesn’t love a Don West call?
6. Matt Hardy – Ouch…My Ass!
WWE clearly isn’t afraid to use real-life drama in its storylines. Whether it’s calling cancer ‘karma’ or giving someone the nickname “#Facebreaker,” they will do anything to get a story over. Apparently, so will the Hardys.
When Lita cheated on Matt Hardy with Edge, Hardy decided the only way to get retribution was to drop a leg from the top of the cage. Not the fanciest of moves, but who really wants to land on their ass from that high up?
You have to be either on something or just a little bit insane to do that.
5. Jeff Hardy – Whisper in the Wind
How do you pick just one Jeff Hardy dive? You don’t. There are more coming later. However, JR’s call of this one was great.
These moves are nuts, but it just goes to show you how important the announcer can be to making something iconic. This Whisper in the Wind was just one of many of these moves.
Hardy’s still doing them 10 years later. How this man hasn’t been injured more than he has is quite incredible.
4. Trinity – This Woman Got Some Revolutions

I’m a sucker for moonsaults off of… just about anything. I’m sure there’s a video out there of a woman doing this prior to Trinity at TNA Lockdown 2005 on some indie show, but this is the first one I remember. She hits this move to perfection.
Plus, I really love the guy in the thumbnail’s face. It’s not me, but I’m sure I had the same look when watching it live on pay-per-view.
And again, Don West!!!
