Re: worst finishing move/ best

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.

I still can't believe TNA let him go.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

The RKO and the Running Head Punt are both great finishers. Randy is a lucky guy. When he first started in the WWE, his finisher was the Playmaker (called it the Overdrive). I don't think he'd be where he is today if he didn't change his finisher. I truly believe that.

If only Punk could pull off the Go2Sleep like Kenta does, so much more vicious looking.

Lex Luger's rack thingy was pretty weak. If anything it was harder on him than his intended victim. Diamond cutter was pretty cool as it had an element of suddenness to it. Anybody old enough to remember the Mongolian Stomper? He had a pretty interesting sleeper hold.

Hey, I liked the Torture Rack...

Hey, I liked the Torture Rack...

Maschist! Seriously though, the actual pain would equate to a soothing massage I would think.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

I like the Sweet Chin Music, Bret's sharpshooter, Flair's Figure Four.

People's Elbow I wouldn't call worst. Yeah, it's a kinda lame move, but the crowd loves it and the energy at that moment is awesome. While watching so many people mimic it.

Even though I love it personally, the Worm is awful. I also really dislike the Canadian Destroyer. At first it seems cool, but then you realize it's the opponent that does all the work and makes it so lame. Too gimmicky, I'd rather see a People's Elbow if I want gimmicks.

Personal favorites:
- Bret's Sharpshooter, Sweet Chin Music, Randy Savage's Elbow, Tombstone, Razor's Edge. The Pedigree when Hunter used to actually hold onto the guys arm and drill them into the mat. Now he simply lets go and lets you fall to the mat which is ugly.

- Yokozuna's Bunzai drop wasn't mentioned and I think it worked perfectly for him. A lot of times it looked like he really crushed the hell out of guys. I also like Orton's punt...when he actually hits it.

Worst moves:
- Honky Tonk Man's Shake Rattle and Roll was stupid.

- Warrior though I loved the guy as a kid, his move was pretty basic and ugly most of the time. All he did was drop you on the mat and splash you.

-The Torture Rack was ok compared to what Luger used before.He would bounch off the ropes and nail his wrist across your head which was supposed to knock you out due to a metal plate that was in it.

- The spear. Just doesn't do a whole lot for me. It was better served as a set up. As Goldberg used it with the jackknife.

- Khali's chop to the top of your head.

- The worm, 5 Knukle Shuffle, Ballin. All of them are dumb. I guess the only finisher was the Worm though.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

the worst is the 5 knuckle shuffle.


i liked the stonecold stunner and brett hart's sharpshooter.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

Actually, now that I saw MVP on Raw last week, the Playmaker isn't all that bad.

Re: worst finishing move/ best

for me, the best one is Sweet Chin Music. There is somethin so satisfyingly simple and humiliating about a sharp kick to the face. The Rock Bottom (not to be confused with the "book end"...lol) and Stunner get honorable mentions.

For submissions, I liked the Crippler Crossface (sorry Vince...I mean "unnamed anonymous choke submission #4...repeat after me, there is no Crippler, there is no Crippler...).

The Hogan Leg Drop is one of the worst. Not so much for it's use in the 80s, but the fact that they still tried to sell it as a true finisher in more modern wrestling.

Also, all the cheap variations of "The People's Elbow" and the little dancy-dance moves before hand are getting quite annoying. I had no idea that proper choreography before dropping an elbow or fist was key to finishing someone...lol.
