The Undertaker's Signature Pro Wrestling Moves

Big boot
The Undertaker uses his opponent's momentum to deliver the boot. He smacks his boot into the upper-body or head of his rival.

Corner clothesline
Instead of knocking a standing opponent the Deadman charges against an opponent on the corner.

Dragon sleeper
The ‘Taker stands behind his rival who is either sitting or lying down, places the rival in an inverted facelock, and hooks the rival's near arm with his free arm. He then pulls backwards and up, wrenching his rival’s neck. If the rival is sitting, The Undertaker will place his knee under the rival's back to add more pressure.

Fujiwara armbar
This pro wrestling move is also known as a short armbar. With the challenger lying on his belly, the aggressor slams onto the challenger’s back, at a 90° angle to him, with all of his weight. The challenger's arm is then hooked and pulled back into his body, painfully stretching the forearms, biceps and pectoral muscles.

Guillotine leg drop onto the chest of an apron hung opponent
This pro wrestling move is similar to a leg drop. However, this move is done with the rival's head hung over one of the ring ropes or most notably the ring apron (so the head is suspended over the outside). The Undertaker will then walk across the apron and execute a leg-drop onto the rival's sternum, causing both of them to fall and land on the outside of the ring.

No-handed over the top rope suicide dive
The term suicide or suicida is placed before any move that goes from the inside the ring to outside. The most well known is a suicide dive which is a (no handed) jump through or over ring ropes to the outside.

Old School (Arm twist ropewalk chop)
The Undertaker grabs one of the opponent's wrists and twists that arm. He then climbs up the corner turnbuckles and walks on the top rope, before jumping down and clubbing the opponent on his chest or back of the neck. The Undertaker does this move the best and named this pro wrestling move Old School.

Reverse STO (Complete Shot)
The Undertaker stands side-to-side and slightly behind his challenger, facing in the opposite direction, and reaches around the challenger's torso with one arm across the challenger's chest with his hand holding onto his other hand which is behind the rival's head. The Deadman then falls backward, slaming his challenger onto the mat face-first.

Running DDT
To perform this move, The Undertaker charges at a bent-forward opponent and applies a front facelock before dropping backwards to drive the opponent down to the mat head first. In another variation The Deadman will also push the opponent up with his free arm, making a spike DDT version of the move.

Running jumping leg drop
To perform this move a pro wrestler bounces off from one side of the ring to another, runs and smacks his opponent with a leg drop across the chest.

Running leaping clothesline
In this move The Deadman runs toward his rival and leaps into the air before connecting with a clothesline to the throat.

Sidewalk slam
The Undertaker stands side-to-side and slightly behind his victim, facing in the same direction, and reaches around the victim's torso with his near arm across the victim's chest and under both arms, and places the other arm under the victim's legs. The ‘Taker then lifts him up, bringing his legs off the ground and falls down to the mat in a sitting position, slamming the victim into the mat back-first. The name "sidewalk slam" is also often incorrectly used for a one-armed, spinning side, or swinging side slam.


The Undertaker's Finishing Moves

Chokeslam
A chokeslam refers to a type of body slam in which the wrestler grabs his opponent by neck, lifts him up, and slams him to the mat. This pro wrestling move is most damaging if the victim is slammed into an object, such as a table, steel chair, or garbage can.

Hell's Gate (Modified gogoplata)
The Undertaker usually executes this pro wrestling move from a "rubber guard," where the legs are held very high, against the opponent's upper back. The Undertaker then slips one foot in front of the opponent's head and under his chin, locks his hands behind the opponent's head, and chokes the opponent by pressing his shin or instep against the opponent's trachea.

The Last Ride (Elevated powerbomb)
Instead of slamming the opponent directly on the mat from the shoulders, The Undertaker first lifts the challenger even higher by extending his arms up, lifting the challenger up off the shoulders before slamming him down to the mat. This move requires a huge amount of strength.

Tombstone piledriver
Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin have all fallen victim to The Tombstone.

For as long as he's been The Deadman, The Undertaker has ended the match by dropping his opponent on their head.
