6. What is wrestler Rey Mysterio's signature finishing move?

Answer: 619

Having gotten his opponent positioned with his head and arms resting on the second rope, Rey performs a faint kick to the face by running at the ropes, grabbing on to the top and middles ropes, and swinging himself through the ropes to deliver the kick.

It's a move that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated!

Rey often compliments the 619 with a follow-up springboard plant or hurricanrana.
