Stone Cold Steve Austin coined iconic WWE finisher's name for a legendary star (Exclusive)

Several WWE legends are remembered for their finishing moves, and during a recent Q&A show, JBL revealed that Steve Austin named his 'Clothesline from Hell.'

John Bradshaw Layfield rose to fame as a major tag team player in WWE alongside Ron Simmons but became a bonafide world champion during his highly acclaimed solo run later.

JBL's 'Clothesline from Hell' was often considered one of the most vicious moves, at least from a visual standpoint. While speaking on a live Q&A on WrestleBinge, Bradshaw revealed that talents weren't allowed to name their own finishers in the past.

He didn't have a problem with how modern-day talents operated but recalled how the process of naming finishers was completely different back in the day.

"Oh, great story! Stone Cold Steve Austin! You can't name your own finish. We never used to allow that to happen. Somebody else had to give it to you. You know, now guys come up with their own finish and name and all that stuff, which is fine; I don't care. The old thing in the business was you didn't name your own finish," said the WWE legend.

JBL recollected wrestling a match in Europe and delivering one of his most destructive clotheslines. Steve Austin, who was backstage, called it a "Clothesline from Hell," as soon as JBL finished his match. That name has stuck to this day.

"So, I was out in the ring in Europe, and I hit somebody with a Clothesline, and I come back, and Stone Cold says, 'That's not a Clothesline, that's a Clothesline from Hell.' Oh my god, that's my name! Steve named it," he added. [29:56 - 30:13]

WWE Hall of Famer JBL looks back at Stan Hansen's finishing move

JBL might have had one of the most impactful strikes in WWE history, but even he admits that Stan Hansen's popular finisher was a move to behold. During his prime, Hansen was one of the toughest men in pro wrestling and made a name for himself in Japan.

Regarding the most devastating clotheslines, JBL felt Hansen had the best-looking version. Stan Hansen's move was more of a lariat that got massive reactions whenever he performed it for the Japanese fans. The WWE Hall of Famer stated:

"Look, I'm not going to put myself in there, and I'm either going to go with either Stan Hansen. But I'd go with Stan Hansen, and by the way, Stan Hansen, that Clothesline Hansen had, was so over in Japan. If you'd see the crowd in Japan when Stan, all he's got to do is pull up his elbow sleeve, and that crowd would go nuts." [From 30:20 onwards]
