Let's put together a comprehensive list of the worst finishers, I'll start with my picks
>Bayley-To Belly
It's the least impactful belly-to-belly I've ever seen
>Warrior Splash
The splash looks so light. I get he's muscular but c'mon
>The End of Days
I don't even get what he's trying to do here
>The Big Ending
Shoulder Injury: The Finisher
>Dirty Deeds
I don't believe the DDT anymore. If you're gonna tell me Dirty Deeds can finish off an opponent but John Cena's Tornado DDT doesn't then what's the fucking point
>Playmaker
What the fuck even is this thing
rock bottom urself my man
![xw9OitR[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/UMG5b35.gif "xw9OitR[1].gif")
Gail Kim's Eat Defeat is easily the worst ever.
>>1237367
That's basically The End of Days
Their faces say it all
>>1237373
I like that one a lot, it looks like it fucking hurts
But the setup and concept are a bit strange so I'll consider it or make it an honorable mention
Watch out! Ortons setting up his signature O-Zone!
>>1237385
How does it hurt at all? Gail awkwardly falls on her back while the opponent is gently pressed against the heel of her shoe.
I'll start with an easy one
>Inb4 Ryback samefag
the move looked sloppy, lazy, incredibly fake and overall stupid, not to mention Punk himself always struggled to do it
>>1237394
It looks good when he does it on somebody he's strong enough to do it properly on
>>1237393
It depends how they sell it, some look better than others. I feel like maybe a bigger person could make it look better. You've sold me, it's on the list.
>>1237394
his GTS looks weird.
should've never took the move from kenta 2bh
>>1237394
This is a perfect move for a big guy.
Not Punk. He had an amazing submission finisher too, so I'll consider the Punk GTS, but is the Itami GTS any better?
>>1237392
Same thing as the Playmaker
>>1237406
yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh_cxvZy0OE
>sweet chin music
it's a fucking side kick
So far we have:
>Bayley-to-Belly/Hugplex
>Warrior Splash
>End of Days
>The Big Ending
>Dirty Deeds
>Playmaker
>Eat Defeat
>Vice Grip
>CM Punk's GTS
>>1237411
The superkick fucking rules, especially HBK's
His always seemed like it was fucking Earth-shattering
>>1237418
the only good super kick was goldberg's. it was so powerful it gave bret heart a fucking stroke
>>1237363
Might as well go back and add damn near every regular move to the list like the dropkick, DDT, Samoan drop and every fucking elbow drop ever
>>1237435
There are good elbows, and one good DDT finisher.
Zack Ryder and Macho Man have amazing elbows, and the Jake Roberts DDT is the GOAT.
>>1237418
I always liked HBK's Superkick/Sweet Chin Music too. He had the right build for it (long legs) and when he tuned up the band it actually looked like the kick went through your skull when he connected with it. The only other person who did it where it looked even sorta OK was John Morrison, every other superkick looks like shit in comparison though
As far as shit finishers though, the Stunner is fucking stupid. Can someone PLEASE admit this? Yes, there were people who sold it well, but the concept of the move is fucking stupid. It's not like a cutter where you can believe the guy is actually falling on his face and neck, it's the guy being forced down onto Austin's shoulder to have his jaw clench together I guess...but Austin's ass hitting the mat takes away all of the force. It's a fucking dumb move that depends entirely on the guy selling it to look impactful.
How has Charlotte's spear not been said? Looks flimsy, only uses her arm etc. Edge has the same problem 80% of the time
Atomic legdrop is kinda bad, but id say it gets a pass for its influence/how iconic it is
KO punch from big show? As effective as it could be, it looks boring as shit
Byron Saxtons finisher, whatever the fuck it's called
>>1237448
I agree with you on the stunner, but its the same thing with Hogan's legdrop, it's iconic
Zig Zag top 5 worst easily.
>>1237453
>How has Charlotte's spear not been said?
Not a finisher lad
>>1237468
my mistake
edges spear still stands, he had a couple good ones but most looked flimsy as fuck
Ryback's backpack stunner looked stupid.
>>1237448
Stunner works on the principle that a jaw breaker fucking hurts
>>1237363
https://youtu.be/TqWudY_iViM
This should be #1
>>1237502
Wikipedia calls that a half-Nelson legsweep and I don't see how.
>>1237414
Ryback's Shell Shock looks like it would be fun. It's a horrible finisher.
>>1237457
I agree with the zigzag, It looks more like a set up for a high flying finish. That jumping DDT He does is a lot better.
>>1237502
jesus christ what the fuck is that
Superkick. It used to be top notch but WWE has abused it, lately anyway.
Attitude Adjustment/FU. It doesn't really help that I've never been a fan of the move but...it just doesn't really cut the cheese for me. I completely understand it can be a good move when done effectively but it never really seemed like a "finisher" to me. Sure as hell put a lot of people away, though.
Sister Abigail. I just...don't see how this move could possibly be a believeable finisher. It only looks somewhat strong because the guy who's doing it is over as fuck. A cruiserweight could do the same thing as an all around signature move and to me it would probably look deadlier.
Spear. Unless you're fucking Rhyno, this move should never be used to (attempt to) finish a match. No offense to you Goldberg/Roman/Batista fans, but it's just a shitty finisher overall. Edge had to fucking spear Cena twice AFTER a fucking Elimination Chamber match to win his first WWE Championship.
Go to Sleep. This hurts me to say because I was a huge Punk fan for a while...still kind of am, but hey, whatever. Anyway, it really is just a knee to the head. I'm not saying a well placed knee to the head isn't effective but to be completely honest, Triple H's running high knee typically looks just as if not more impactful...of course, it helps when the guy who's taking the knee knows how to sell it. Punk being sloppy in many of his matches didn't help his GTS believability though.
Codebreaker. Same thing with Punk's GTS. It's a knee to the head, and I'm not saying a well placed knee etc. etc.
Jericho wasn't (and isn't) nearly as sloppy as Punk which in all fairness to Jericho helps his Codebreaker believability.
There's probably a few more that I can think of that probably are not even worth mentioning. Like...The Worm. The fucking Worm might just probably be the worst finisher EVER. But S2H and his goofy ass finisher were both over as fuck.
>Nobody has posted Road Dogg's finisher yet
I'm honestly surprised.
>>1237569
The Sister Abigail isn't too uncommon. Fandango used to do it, and I think it looked way worse when he did it. Just compare the two:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XITbH-2v2X8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX9YoO9yfdQ
Part of the problem is that WWE has absolutely retarded camera work, so they always cut to a different camera angle halfway through and completely ruin the impact.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qWQI3EPNY4
This is actually the worst finisher, though. I have no idea what the fuck anyone was thinking when they made this.
How do we all feel about the Styles Clash?
It looks pretty weak for such a dangerous move.
Also, The Phenomenal Forearm is now AJ's finisher, so that HAS to be on the list
>>1237596
aj gets impressive air on the forearm so it still feels special.
End of days is a shittier downward spiral
Also the AA still sucks
>>1237630
AA is bad, consider it on the list
THE LIST NOW IS:
>Bayley-to-Belly/Hugplex
>Warrior Splash
>Baron Corbin's End of Days
>Big E's The Big Ending
>Dean Ambrose/Mick Foley's Dirty Deeds
>MVP/Randy Orton's Playmaker/Ozone
>Gail Kim's Eat Defeat
>The Great Khali's Vice Grip
>CM Punk's GTS
>Road Dogg's Pump Handle Slam
>Bray Wyatt/Fandango's Sister Abigail
>Lacey Von Erich's Moonsault Elbow Drop
>Whatever the fuck Bryon Saxton's finisher was
>Ryback's Shell Shock
>John Cena's Attitude Adjustment
>>1237363
Whatever American Alpha's finisher is supposed to be
>>1237650
I'm not gonna count tag finishers, there aren't enough notable ones for me to even decipher the good and bad ones
>>1237645
You really have to put The Worm in dude, it's just a fucking chop with like a minute of dicking around beforehand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LN5PQNzX9U
>>1237665
As much as I agree it's not a good move, the person doing it and the theatrics before hand give it a pass. It's similar to the Cobra, if anyone else was doing it, it would be stupid, but it's done by a comedic low mid-carder so it gets a pass. Also the crowd gets so hype for the Worm.
HOWEVER; The Samoan Spike/Brain Chop/Heart Punch/KO Punch
>>1237414
People's Elbow
Barrett's Wasteland, even tho it's no longer his finisher
the neutralizer and all of Dolphins zigglars
Any form of full nelson face crusher, reverse Russian leg sweep, Downward Spiral, etc.
Aj styles new finisher
the sad thing about the DDT is that it is legitimately a neck breaking move
it's one of the first you learn doing any kind of martial arts and applied properly it's an instant KO move
in WWE they simply avoid applying full pressure on the frontal part of the neck so it's just a face slam, gay as fuck
Jackknife Powerbomb
>always looks botched
>only impressive from 7ft and higher
>requires a gimmick where you don't fucking care
in this way it's perfect for Nash and noone else
Every Super Kick that isn't done by Michaels
Guys like Ziggler try and emulate it but it just looks like shit when done by them
missing
>superman punch
>samoan spike
>hogan legdrop
>>1237779
Superman Punch is a signature
>>1237770
well did anyone else but Big Kev use it?
>>1237373
that gif is awful, the move was horribly done.
you're supposed to twist their arm, place your heel underneath their chin, and fall back with your leg straight up so you're giving them a jawbreaker.
>>1237793
I noticed that Xavier Woods does it really good, that's why I specifically put Gail Kim's on the list, I was at first skeptical of putting it on but anon convinced me
>>1237569
>Sister Abigail is a shitty finisher
Nah
>>1237805
It's awful, it looks like an even weaker End of Days
>>1237363
i can't believe no one has said last ride yet
>"She calls it her 'Rear View,' Maggle"
>>1237811
That's because the Last Ride rules
>>1237682
You don't really understand the people's elbow do you? The Rock gathers the electricity from the millions, AND MILLIONS, of The Rock's fans and focusses it into his elbow and hits them with the electricity of The People.
Tbqh pham
>Rock.Bottom
Its a fucking slam, with little to no extra elevation
Tye Dillinger
https://youtu.be/NKYGLhSKNqU
>>1237363
BEEG's WMD punch.
Charlotte's torso lariat (I refuse to call that shit a spear)
Edge's spear (WOAT because Charlotte has never actually hit a fucking spear it's a torso lariat and the tranny skank would be turning tricks for $10 a head if Ric wasn't her daddy)
Styles Clash combines a really tame, unconvincing looking bump with an unreasonably high chance for an accidental head drop leading to neck injuries. Made even worse by the fact that AJ does a half dozen other moves that are safer AND look better. The Phenomenal Forearm, the Spiral Tap, the Calf Killer, and so on. I am glad the WWE has buried the shit out of the Styles Clash. Hopefully he stops doing it altogether. He's MUCH better than that.
Dalton Castle's helicopter drop thing. I wouldn't mind this as a signature, but it's a really stupid, pussy move to be a goddamn finisher.
John Cena's AA. It's a less convincing bump than a vertical suplex, and perhaps accordingly, it takes an average of four of them to actually FINISH a match.
John Cena's STF: A perfectly good submission ruined by the fucking idiot failing to apply it well.
John Cena's Springboad Stunner: I don't care that it was only a signature, it was fucking horrible. Cena flying backwards into his opponent's knees made the whole thing look awkward and weak.
Seth Rollins' Pedigree: It looks like shit with a smaller guy like Seth doing it, and slamming down onto his knees like the move requires five nights a week is probably what lead to the catastrophic knee injury. All because WWE has ZERO (0) balls and made him stop using the Curbstomp, which might have been the most elegant finisher in history.
Khali's overhand chop. This should not require explanation
Road Dogg's Pumphandle Slam. The move itself feels more like a signature than a finisher, made worse by Road Dogg buttfucking his opponent before hitting it.
Did I miss any out? Tell me about it while questioning my sexuality and mental health in the replies below
>>1237892
oh my god
that was awful
THE LIST NOW IS:
>Bayley-to-Belly/Hugplex
>Warrior Splash
>Baron Corbin's End of Days
>Big E's The Big Ending
>Dean Ambrose/Mick Foley's Dirty Deeds
>MVP/Randy Orton's Playmaker/Ozone
>Gail Kim's Eat Defeat
>The Great Khali's Vice Grip
>CM Punk's GTS
>Road Dogg's Pump Handle Slam
>Bray Wyatt/Fandango's Sister Abigail
>Lacey Von Erich's Moonsault Elbow Drop
>Whatever the fuck Bryon Saxton's finisher was
>Ryback's Shell Shock
>John Cena's Attitude Adjustment
>Tye Dillinger's Single Knee Facebuster
>The Rock's Rock Bottom
>Hulk Hogan's Leg Drop
>Naomi's Rear View
>Umaga/Rikishi's Samoan Spike
>Crush's Heart Punch
>The Great Khali's Brain Chop
>Edge's Spear
>>1237858
THIS. With the extra impulse he gathers when he lifts the leg up, he sends a crushing elbow drop directly into the heart that channels the electricity and damages some of the heart valves like the aortic valve, with some of the shock wave being felt all over the sternum immobilizing the opponent.
>>1237895
I wanted to put the Style's Clash on their, but I didn't have any support until you so I'm gonna put it on there along with Cesaro's Neutralizer
Give me your opinion on Charlotte's Natural Selection, Kofi's Trouble in Paradise, The Canadian Destroyer, and the Dudleydog/Bodog/Sliced Bread #2 and the Salida Del Sol
I'm all for having them on the list but need support before I can put them on
Big Show's WMD
why the fuck haven't you added sweet chin music to the list op?
I SAID SWEET CHIN MUSIC
however sweet shin music is pretty kewl
I love Mick Foley, but the Mandible Claw, even with Mr. Socko, is shit. Whenever I would see it, I would always think the same thing:
>Why don't they just bite down?
>>1237892
Yeah, when all the announcer can say to your finisher is, "What was that?" it's a shit move.
>>1237898
Battle Kat's finisher is worse than all of those
>>1237921
Good God Jesus Christ Almighty what the fuck was that?
>>1237921
Fucking hell, really? Basically a low impact Lou Thesz press with no follow up.
>>1237905
Consider it done
>>1237911
Shut up
>>1237915
Yeah, the Mandible Claw knocking someone out never made sense to me, same thing with someone falling unconscious from the Sharpshooter.
THE LIST NOW IS:
>Bayley-to-Belly/Hugplex
>Warrior Splash
>Baron Corbin's End of Days
>Big E's The Big Ending
>Dean Ambrose/Mick Foley's Dirty Deeds
>MVP/Randy Orton's Playmaker/Ozone
>Gail Kim's Eat Defeat
>The Great Khali's Vice Grip
>CM Punk's GTS
>Road Dogg's Pump Handle Slam
>Bray Wyatt/Fandango's Sister Abigail
>Lacey Von Erich's Moonsault Elbow Drop
>Whatever the fuck Bryon Saxton's finisher was
>Ryback's Shell Shock
>John Cena's Attitude Adjustment
>Tye Dillinger's Single Knee Facebuster
>The Rock's Rock Bottom
>Hulk Hogan's Leg Drop
>Naomi's Rear View
>Umaga/Rikishi's Samoan Spike
>Crush's Heart Punch
>The Great Khali's Brain Chop
>Edge's Spear
>Mick Foley's Mr. Socko/Love Handle
>Big Show's WMD
>AJ Styles' Styles Clash
>Cesaro's Neutralizer
>>1237898
>Dean Ambrose/Mick Foley's Dirty Deeds
Why? The DDT is one of the most legit finishers of all time. A double underhook DDT is twice as worse than a single arm one
>Gail Kim's Eat Defeat
Even tho that gif at the top looks horrible, but when it's well done it's not that bad to be on the list. The idea is that your head gets decapitated by the impulse as if Kitana from MK cuts your head with a fan
>CM Punk's GTS
Can't be compared to Kenta's. Again, look at the idea of you being on top of the shoulders of a legit guy and then lifted up, with all that gravity all the way down and you meet a knee that comes up to your face midway breaking all the bones in your face and leaving you unconscious
>>1237924
no you shut up
>>1237925
Like I mentioned, the DDT isn't a bad move, but over time it's become such a normal move that it's hard to believe that a Cena Tornado DDT won't win a match but a Dirty Deeds will.
Gail Kim's finisher isn't bad but Xavier Woods does it better so I'm probably gonna remove it, because I do quite like it.
CM Punk's GTS is a weird one for me. A lot times his looked sloppy, BUT I also don't see the logic in the move. Kenta's looks fine but CM Punks never really looked believable or like it hit it's mark, so I'll keep it here.
the list is now:
>sweet chin music
>sweet chin music
>sweet chin music
>sweet chin music
>sweet chin music
>whatever the fuck sweet chin music was

Nothing is fucking wrong with Sweet Chin Music.
Everyone else with a superkick? Fine, put them on there. But HBK's is legit.
The Vaudevillains' Whirling Dervish
A move I wanna throw out there that I've never understood since I saw it:
Kevin Owen's Pop-Up Powerbomb
The setup seems so silly and I feel like it would be easy to counter, so I've always thought it was kinda stupid
alright, I've added a few more that I just think need to be on here
THE LIST NOW IS:
>Bayley-to-Belly/Hugplex
>Warrior Splash
>Baron Corbin's End of Days

tldr anything that doesn't come off the top rope or end in -driver
>>1237903
I like Trouble In Paradise all right. A full tilt kick to the head makes for a decent finisher, even if WWE booking ruins it. It's also basically a Beauty Shot, but to the back of the head instead of the face.
I never got the hate for the Canadian Destroyer/Flip Powerbomb. Done right, it looks slick and devastating. It beats the fucking Meltzer Driver by a mile.
The BoDog in principle, as a move itself, is fine. I feel it suitably looks like your smashing your opponent's face into the ground. Bo himself botching it half the time might be enough to put specifically his version of the move on the list.
I'd say the Salida Del Sol is just kind of average/mediocre. Not bad enough to put on a list of pure crap.
Natural Selection is probably the only thing that Charlotte does that isn't horrible. But there's a general DDT hate in this thread, though I still don't think that's enough to put it on a list of bad finishers.
Now that I think about it, Nikki's Rack Attack is kind of shit. I wish she'd just use the Alabama Slam as a finisher.
>>1237569
Rhyno's Gore and Goldieberg's Spear are the only acceptable spear finishers/signature moves (since Goldie's finisher was technically the Jackhammer)
AA/FU I 100% agree with it's terrible and has never been convincing
Kenta's GTS has always been pretty good
Sister Abigail is alright, it just depends on what bucktooth dunn is doing with the cameras
Codebreaker sucks
Superkick was great, especially Sweet Chin Music, but it's lost its impact due to overuse
>>1237976
>roman reings super man punch
>reverse STO like the mike check from mr kennedy

Why the Pop Up Powerbomb?
Besides the fact that Mr. Boombalatty needs to hit the gym so he can do a proper powerbomb lift?
>>1237596
The worst thing about the forearm is the FUCKING name
>>1237811
The last ride is probably the best variation of the powerbomb ya dingus
>>1238000
thats a funny way to say the jack hammer
>>1237363
Paige's PTO. That shit would do little more than destroy her own knees and she can barely lift her opponents.
But the worst? Byron Saxton's finisher: the JUST
>>1238002
Jack Hammer Powerbomb is good but it's nowhere near as crushing as Last Ride
oh btw Finn Balor double foot stomp? It's fucking gay as fuck. I could understand if some super heavyweight was doing it, but him? Weak
>>1237996
The setup seems ludicrous to me, and it seems really easy to counter, but that's just me.
>>1237995
Superman Punch is a signature, the 619 rules, the Dominator is fine, and I'll take a Rollins Pedigree

Here's one I've never liked;
The Scorpion Death Drop
It just seems weak, and Sting's biggest parallel had one of the GOAT finishers, the Tombstone.
Shitty lame move and it's going on the list
>>1238029
>Mil Muertes
I forgot he had the spear, his flatliner is better tho. It's like a good Rock Bottom.

The Worm is a comedic finisher which almost never ended a match, so I don't think is bad; just not serious at all
Trouble in paradise is absolutely ass.
It's so slow and kofi never slaps the leg so there's no impact noise at all
Terrible finisher

Personally, I've never been a huge fan of it just because the lengths he has to go to not legitimately kill someone with it makes it BLATANTLY obvious he almost missed entirely.
I wouldn't say it's a bad finisher, it's just far from my favorite.
>>1237601
Not really. So he jumps high, big whoop. Still doesn't feel like it should be finishing a match.
>>1237596
Is he just not allowed to do the clash because of how many times someone fucked up and got hurt in the indies?
The Worm
>>1237895
>All because WWE has ZERO (0) balls and made him stop using the Curbstomp, which might have been the most elegant finisher in history.
I don't know about "elegant", but it looked fucking devastating when sold right. Most certainly one of, if not the best finishers of the modern era, before WWE lost its balls as you so rightly put it.
Walls of Jericho.
its a boston crab with a different name
>>1238151
The clash gets harder and harder to do safely the taller and heavier the other guy is compared to AJ. And AJ is small guy by WWE standards.
>>1238015
Big Show
>>1238157
It was great when Jericho used to put effort into it. He'd press his knee into the back of the neck opponent and make it look painful as fuck. You're correct to say that his go to version is just a Boston crab though.
>>1238164
The Walls of Jericho and Liontamer are two different moves, so Walls on the list, yes, Liontamer is the GOAT

>>1238197
why do you have to be a fucking autist and repost this huge-ass list every time somebody posts
just have a fucking discussion without spamming the thread
>>1238197
I'm curious. With the list getting larger and larger, what do you all consider GOOD finishers?
Batista Bomb
Sitout powerbomb that makes Batista look like he's gonna break his legs on landing
>>1237828
does it rule more than the tombstone?
>>1237921
no RVD without battle kat
>>1238197
Sister abigail is based as fuck, especially outta nowhere and the heart punch legit killed 2 wrestlers
Also the neutralizer is a pedigree ×100 so how you can list that and not the pedigree is beyond me
Kys OP you fucking suck

The Rock's entire finishing move set is awful, add them to the list.
>>1237665
Kys
Tyler Breeze's Beauty Shot.
It's a spinning heel kick with no power behind it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVmi25vZWgA
THE FUCKING PEDIGREE
>>1238253
I take it you've never watched an 80s tag match if you think superkicks being overused is a new thing
Trouble in Paradise is great, dafuq?
>>1238162
Styles managed to flawlessly hit the Clash on everybody from Kevin "Fatter in PWG Than I've Ever Been as Owens" Steen to Okada. He's more than strong enough to do it to basically anybody in WWE outside the giants.
>>1237996
Owens has way more functional strength than the current WWE Champ.
>>1237665
Naa the worm was good.
>>1238258
>Does any female have an impressive finisher?
Beth Phoenix's Glam Slam, AJ Lee's Black Widow, Victoria's Widow's Peak, Michelle McCool's Wings of Love, the entire career of Sara Del Rey.
>>1237665
If the Worm goes in, then the people's elbow and the five knuckle shuffle also have to go in, since they follow the same exact idea.
>>1238197
I don't see the incredibad submission hold of all time, the Flair Figure Four, on this list.
>mildly annoying instead of legit painful
>looks even more retarded when countered
>nObody but jobbers ever loses to it
>>1238441
Five knuckle shuffle is a signature.
>>1238410
>AJ Lee's Black Widow
Octopus stretch is not an impressive finisher
>>1238258
Victoria
F5
A lot of effort for a move that looks weak as fuck. If you just stick your arms and legs out, you would land safely. Horrible.
>>1237775
The Skull Crushing Finale is just JJ's Stroke
>>1237898
If you have the Rock Bottom then naturally you must also include the Book-End
>>1238010
I think that was the one and only time he used that move before he adopted the Pedigree
>>1239008

I fucking love the Codebreaker.

>>1238959
Fuck me. I forgot all about that. That looks, (and probably is), brutal as fuck to take. I feel like the Rack Attack is the PG version of that move.
Nikki's rack attack is WOAT. Here's an awesome finish. I'll get you in a fireman's carry, then instead of dropping you to the mat instead I'll just drop your entire bodyweight directly down across my cervical spine. It will be completely fucking painless for you but I think neck surgery will be fucking awesome, plus the name is a shitty joke about my giant tits.
>>1240438
>coolest
Its so fucking shit and unrealistic even on an professional wrestling standpoint
>>1240875
its stupid and great though.
And honestly who cares about realism?
>>1238959
Goddamn. What that could do to the body with two much heavier wrestlers executing it kind of terrifies me. I'd bet Japan, if anybody.

Not anymore. It's bordering on shit tier since he stopped trying.
>>1237410
it looks good when taken by a little guy
too many bg4u's on the main roster though
>>1238441
I've been in a figure four and I can tell you it hurts like fuck if the person applying it knows how to do it properly.
the queen's pedigree is horrific
>>1238020
Killswitch/Unprettier was great when he first started to it then WWE had to make it safe. Turning the move to shit.
>>1237363
>Playmaker
Who does this? DDT is an overused move now. They should stop having everyone do it and only keep it to 1-3 that should be allowed. Luchadors should always be allowed to do a tornado ddt if they want though. When done right it looks different enough from a standard one. DDT should be devestating enough that it can finish a match since you know, the opponents freaking head is driven hard into a mat. Not many moves like that anymore since piledrivers are perma banned.
The end of days is a shitty finisher that only manlets could sell for him.
Bayley to belly is fine since she is a woman. The great Shane Douglas had a similar finisher.
The other two aren't bad finishers all things considered. Warrior came from a different time so it's okay.
>>1238015
1. goldberg
2. rhino
3. big show
The rest literally do not matter because no one else can deliver spears as good and more importantly AS BELIEVABLE as these three.
>>1240438
the canadian destroyer is probably my favorite finisher
Can't even tell if it's a botch or not...
Can we talk about good finishers for a second?
Just look how he emasculates the opponent before finishing them. Literal master of ring psychology
>>1241958
>goldberg
>better than heyman screaming GORE GORE GORE
greenberg's tackle isn't even close to the gore. It wasn't until he got to wwe where people actually know how to fucking sell that it got better.
>>1237895
>Made even worse by the fact that AJ does a half dozen other moves that are safer AND look better.
I don't know what the technical name is for this move or if he's even done it yet in WWMEME, but in New Japan he'd do a sort of reverse D-Lo Spinebuster that looked impressive as fuck. Instead of slamming them on their backs they'd land face first. It's definitely finisher-tier for WWE. There's also the spring-board moonsault into a reverse DDT. What I'm trying to say is is that AJ Styles is the best in-ring worker on the planet.

If you want to go to Japan, the Shooting Star was invented during Warrior's time, and the diving headbutt was used a lot.
All of these moves would be believable finishes to matches, or at least believable 2.5 counts. The Big Splash couldn't hold up past 1995.
>>1237502
Christ Masters' expression says it all
>>1237805
And it's also a fucking rehash of Mike Knox's move, I mean, if you're debuting a guy at least give him something impactful.
I like Bray's suplex, tho, when he just slams the guy instead or falling with him
>>1237363

I'm not too heavy myself, anon, 6 ft and 176 pounds. can I stomp you right in the heart? if it skips a beat and the next 100, that means you're dead but no way that can happen, right?
you people just included moves from all possible categories: top rope, ddt's, modified suplexes, faceplants, powerbombs, superkicks, submissions. It's professional wrestling, what the fuck do you expect to see?
Someone already said here that show's ko punch looks like shit, and it's true, but it would hurt the most in all possible encounters, in comparison to all the other moves mentioned. it's a fucking punch right in the fucking jaw and that shit will put down anyone non-kayfabe when a dude the size of big show delivers it.
If a move and the one who performs are entertaining and eye-candy, than the perfomer did his job. it's still sports entertainment, you're not supposed to analyze if the moves are sufficiently painful or evaluate the prowess of the competitors
Why has nobody mentioned this

I dunno, every "discus" moves seems retarded.
Also, generic claws and whatnot.
>>1243661
Wow. I get that its developmental. But that dude is terrible and slow. That punch was the best thing he did the whole time. And it was terrible.
>>1237411
And it's a legit finishing move
Trish's Stratusfaction.
It's just a bulldog...

Harper's clothesline looks fucking amazing

You are worse than OP
Both of you legitimately kill yourself, im not even joking
>>1237373
>Xavier Woods could've had a wheelbarrow facebuster
>instead he got this
Thugnificent, or any other version of the STO or reverse STO that people use as finishers these days. The only way this move doesn't look lame as shit is if the attacker's coming off the ropes JBL style, full tilt.
All finishers are shit, apparently
Piledriver performed by small guys. There's a reason why it's banned in WWE now. It have a very high chance of fuck ups.
>>1253262
Well, AJ Styles have hit Ramen with 6 finishers and Ramen also ate a tag team finisher, and yet he kicked out of everything just to win with one spear.
