Across the history of professional wrestling, many wrestlers have created their own rendition of "The Cutter," which has become one of the most iconic maneuvers in the industry, and is often used as a performer's signature or finishing move. One wrestler that revolutionized The Cutter was former WCW star "Diamond Dallas Page," whose Diamond Cutter became one of the most popular finishers of the '90s. However, in a recent interview on "Drinks with Johnny," DDP revealed that Randy Orton's RKO took The Cutter to new heights, while also claiming that "The Viper" is the most underrated megastar of all time.

"I love Randy Orton, and Ilove the fact that he took it to a different level. He did versions of the s**t that I could never do thathe did. I think Randy Orton is, how do I even want to say this, the most underrated mega superstar of all time ...Randy is so proven thatfirst of all he looks unbelievable and he's healthy as hell, and that surgery I guess really worked well for him ...I'm a huge mark for him as far aseverything. From the look, the size, the talk, the work, the aggressiveness, theintensity. I mean like I say, he's the most underrated superstar of all time. Imean Randy Orton very well could be on freaking Mount Rushmore."
Current examples of stars who use different variations of The Cutter include Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, who can often be seen using the "Cody Cutter" and the "Oscutter," as both are unique forms of Springboard Cutters.
