Jin-Yuta: Enjeru Knee
Number 3 on our countdown is the Enjeru Knee, performed by Global Legend Pro Wrestling's mega star, Jin-Yuta! Although there are many varieties of knee strikes in wrestling, Jin-Yuta's is unique in its execution and its beauty. What makes the move so stunning to witness is its anti-gravity appearance as Yuta flies through the air toward his opponent. This is achieved through Jin-Yuta's deliberate body and limb movements which create the illusion that he is almost levitating through the air as he delivers the strike, granting the move its signature, angelic appearance! The effect is also owed to Jin-Yuta's natural agility, grace, and balance typical of his species. Although the move is most known for being performed following Jin-Yuta's bow and arrow 'howling' pose, the Enjeru Knee can be performed at virtually any time, from almost any position, sometimes as a surprise counter to an overzealous opponent or even as a follow-up to Yuta's famous rope-jump, in which he defensively and gracefully hops up onto the top rope to both avoid and confuse his opponent! The move is also occasionally performed as Yuta's opening move of the match, striking an opponent who may be foolish enough to aggressively approach Jin-Yuta from the opening bell. Though perhaps less devastating than Jin-Yuta's ultimate maneuver, the Red Lightning UltraBomb, the Enjeru Knee is a highly versatile, beautiful move which has won more matches than any other single maneuver in Yuta's arsenal, and that is why it sits proudly at number 3 on our list of the greatest finishing moves in wrestling today!

I'd never be able to draw it, I'd have to animate it, and I'm not enough of an animator to do it. But I can try and give you an idea of it using clips because it's basically a mix of two different moves, mostly one in particular.
Most of the move is the same as the Blue Thunder Bomb, hence the similarity in the name. Specifically, Yuta's would look like Sammy Zane's BTB because his is the best in the business from what I can tell.

However, Yuta's version rotates his opponent an additional 180 degrees before the impact, so that he can land in a pinning position similar to Kenny Omega's One Winged Angel.

Mind you, the rest of the One Winged Angel doesn't apply here, just the pinning position after he hits it. So you want to picture the Blue Thunder Bomb except the opponent rotates an additional 180 degrees so that they can land in the same position as the end of the One Winged Angel.
Since I figure the move would be extremely difficult to execute, I wrote into Yuta's original bio that he's only hit it a handful of times in his career in part because there's only so many opponents athletic enough to execute their role in it.
