The term "5 Moves of Doom" has been thrown around quite a bit around here and people keep on getting it wrong
Its not that the performer does the same moves. because everyone has a set moveset with room for an addition now and then for special occasions.
The "5 Moves of Doom" is the term used when a performer gets beaten on for 98% of a match and the most time spent on offense is the 2% which involves the a string of 4 or 5 moves and wins. typical example would be Hulk Hogan
The Hulkster gets beaten from pillar to post his bandana goes flying he is bleeding like faucet. and next thing you know he Hulks up throws a couple of punches. delivers the big boot. poses for two minutes and hits the leg drop. not selling a damn that he just had the stuffing beaten out of him.
The same can be said for what happens in a Cena match hell the Miz beat him around for about half an hour and yet Cena still wins.
People will say Yes but The Rock did the same thing i beg to differ. Whens the last time you see Cena or hogan hit the AA or the legdrop and not be able to make the cover straight away? and yet The Rock managed to sell his beating by not being able to make the cover after a Rock Bottom (and really all you have to do with that move is not let go of the guy and you got the pin)
So just to clarify and summerise.
The "5 moves of Doom" does not point a finger at the lack of variety of a performers moveset. But rather at the 2-3 minute amazing burst of energy that allows a dominated performer to pick up the win miraculously without showing any effects of the beating they just suffered.
