worst finishing move/ best

[spudder2008]

What does everyone think the worst finishing move of all time is ? I think the tombstone piledriver is the worst, and my favorite was the sharpshooter, when Bret and Owen used it.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

best for me are the stunner / diamond cutter / rko / jackknife powerbomb

worst for me include the FU/deathvalleydriver, whatever mark henry's thing was I saw on ecw, any fat guy splash, and the mandible claw (even though I love Mr Foley)

This current generation I say that MVP's finisher is freaking awful. The Playmaker.

The worst is the chokeslam. And the best finisher is ortans different RKO styles. Some of his RKOs is sick.

Even though i think its funny the worst finisher is the worm

Word. One of the worst finishers ever.

And blasphemy at whoever said the Rock Bottom was the worst.

Shame on those of you who said the Tombstone and Choke Slam were the worst.

I remember Umaga did a horrible finisher where he hit someone in the throat with his thumb. Is he still in the WWE? He's garbage.

My favorite would probably be either the Swanton Bomb or 5-Star Frog Splash. I also really liked Gangrel's DDT and Farooq's Dominator. Prince Albert had a finisher called the Sky High that was just vicious as well.

Current Best - Air Bourne (Evan Bourne)

Current Worst - Pedigree (Triple H)

All Time Best - Perfectplex (Mr. Perfect)

All Time Worst - People's Elbow (The Rock)

I hate the 619.

I like sweet chin music. Brett Harts Sharpshooter.

SMH at those who said the Tombstone was the worst. IMO it's one of the best of all-time, let alone today.

Other finishers I'm partial to are Sweet Chin Music, the RKO, and Evan Bourne's shooting star press.

My vote for worst goes to CM Punk's GTS. I can't buy it as a finishing move, and it just looks stupid on top of that.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

I'll just stick to current.

For best I liked the Moonlight Drive but I guess that's not a finisher now. The split leg corkscrew is still cool though.

I'm not sure what to pick for worst but I have no idea what Santino's is so it's probably not that good.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

The Playmaker is just plain terrible. The 619 doesn't seem like it should do as much damage as it does, and the World's Strongest Slam (Mark Henry's finisher) just seems like a plain old powerslam, only from a 400+ lb guy...

Sweet Chin Music is awesome, and the Tombstone is one of the best of all times. I also like Undertaker's Hell's Gate submission hold.

Other honorable mentions for my favorites: The Stunner, The F5 (Brock Lesnar's finisher), and Evan Bourne's finisher.

Other mentions for my least favorite: Big Show's Knockout punch, Hogan's Leg Drop (ok, it's just a leg drop... why the hell is it a finisher?), and the GTS (just looks weird...)

Glad to see some love for Evan Bourne. He is my favorite young wrestler to come around in a long time. They need to bring him up to Smackdown and have him battle with Mysterio. Those two have had some epic matches in the past and if they give Bourne the push that he deserves then the sky is the limit.
