Speaking of finishers wasn't Cena's AA called the "FU" at one point?

Yes, but muh PG

>>1449889
Yep. The FU and STFU. I believe it was supposed to be a knock at Brock's F-5

>>1449888

This is actually a bone I have to pick with Ambrose. The dirty deeds is basically a DDT with a pause before it. KO's powerbomb is literally just a popup powerbomb. Even Cena's Attitude Adjustment seems.... Weak, boring, not worthy of being a finisher.

When I think of finishers I think of the sharpshooter, I think of the outsider's edge, the canadian destroyer, the steiner screwdriver, the torture rack, the fisherman's suplex. Something flashy and actually unique with a long setup.
>>
>>1449886
>wrestler is a woman
>>
>>1449903
Powerbombs are commonly used as finishers so it's not too bad. I agree on Ambrose though. They usually just a standard move these days.

I actually kind of like that, with the caveat that the wrestler themselves does it in some unique/inventive fashion, or just very well, to drive home the emphasis that they've mastered that move.

I'm gonna sound like a complete dumbass for saying this, but I didn't even realize that until now. All this time, I thought it stood for "Randy's Knock Out" or some stupid shit like that.

I thought it was a play on that with the O obviously doubling with Orton. It may also be a refrence to the old film company RKO but i'm not sure if Randy is much of a movie buff.

I have no problems with the chant itself, but it's been chanted so frequently now that it's become meaningless. Like the "holy shit" chant, it should be used sparingly and for special spots in special matchups.
>>1450325
To be fair, it's only funny during a match no one gives two shits about (i.e. that Sheamus vs. Randy Orton match on Raw that nobody asked for).

>Wrestlers who require an insurmountable amount of setup for their finisher

I mean, fuck Super Kicks, but I miss when it was as simple as a clean as fuck suplex or hell even a DDT, this flashy finishers are the worst and the most predictable things ever

Yes the Styles Clash is in there also
>>
>>1450586
KO is the absolute worst for this. You can see that finisher and the assisted jump into it from a mile away.
>>
> YOU FUCKED UP

Am I the only one who likes Dirty Deeds?

Dean is basically this generation's Mick Foley, so it's really fitting that he has Cactus Jack's finisher
>>
>>1450693
It could be worse like having a finisher a semi-retired wrestler is still using and is famous for (lookint at you rollins..)
>>
>>1450557
Why the fuck would you still try to hit BMJ after those two shoulder blocks?
>>
>>1450586
I don't mind it if it is something that you could possibly do and someone else couldn't stop you. Pinning finishers are also great but you never see them anymore. The perfectplex was great and the closest we really have now is Adam Cole using the Florida Key. There was also some joshi girl that had a cool finisher which was just a straight jacketing their opponent and stacking them up.
>>
>>1449903
Yeah but it's a powerbomb
but yeah we need more impressive finishers
Edge spear worked because he had that setup where he looked batshit
Roman's doesn't because it's a one hit wonder for some reason, and the only difference in setup is he punches the ground

>>

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. A regular move transcends being a regular move when it starts being used as a finisher. A clothesline from Chris Jericho is just a clothesline, but a clothesline from JBL means the end of the match. Likewise, a Boston Crab from JBL is just a rest hold, but a Boston Crab from Jericho is devastating and can lead to tap-outs. Why? Because it's his finisher, simple as that. It's the internal logic that has been set up in wrestling. Learn to suspend your disbelief, man. It's wrestling. Enjoy it.
>>
>>1450572
>Its one of the worst looking finishers in the company

Can you actually think of a worse one because I sure can't
>>
>wrestler 1 makes an obvious botch and doesn't even come close to making contact with his opponent
>wrestler 2 sells it anyway
I was really impressed with BROTHER NERO a few years ago when Shelton Benjamin tried to springboard off the ropes to hit him but accidentally slipped and fell on his face. Instead of selling the move or just standing there like a retard, BROTHER NERO took advantage and immediately went for a pinfall. That was a fantastic save and maintained the realism of the match.

>wrestler makes a forgivable botch
>commentators act super confused, draw unnecessary attention to it, and shit on the guy for the next five minutes
JR and Tazz were fantastic at saving and explaining away botches on commentary, whereas Cole and Lawler are utter shit and just make the whole situation ten times more awkward than it should be. I don't know how much the voice in their ears has to do with this, though.
>>
>>1450271

Ah, the Charles Montgomery Punk treatment.
>>
>>1450941
That's only because the Curb Stomp was banned for seeming like a concussion causing move and Vince being paranoid about it. Pedigree actually made sense to use as Seth was aligned with Triple H at the time and was written into the story.
>>
>>1451039
It made sense then but HHH isn't even on tv anymore. Seth has had enough time to come up with something new considering how athletic he is.
>>
>>1451043
Yeah, true enough, I'm sure he has probably considered it. Knowing Vince, though, it's probably like YOUR FINISH IS THE PEDIGREE NOW GOD DAMN IT, DO THE PEDIGREE
