Most and Least believable and devastating finishers in WWE. | Page 2

May 2024 ยท 3 minute read
There are so many awful finishers out there today, it's hard to pick out. It seems these days wrestlers are more caught up in looking for something original and "innovative" instead of looking for something... I don't know... DEFINITIVE. Because that's what a finisher should be. A move of such force that you can't win after being hit by it. On case of submissions, well, it's more about effectiveness. Dolph Ziggler's Sleeper Hold seems effective because the more he uses it, the more belief there is that he's good at it.

As for the more "slam" variety of finishers, there some God awful ones. And no, the AA is not one. It at least seems well executed.

* Wade Barrett's Wasteland: Probably the one I hate the most. The reason is simple. This a breakthrough star who's finishing his matches with a damn Scoop Slam. That's what it is. How is it more painful than Mr. Anderson's Rollthrough Slam? It's not. It's a setup move. Made famous by a few in CMLL. Hell, Alberto Del Rio used it as Dos Caras Jr. A large man like him using sucha simplistic move just doesn't scream "oh what a finish". Especially when he does stuff like Bossman and Sidewalk Slams.

* The Miz' Skullcrusing Finale: There's a reason why Chris Jericho stopped using it. And it's a good reason to claim Jeff Jarrett is a bad wrestler. There's also a reason why it's a standard move in Smackdown vs Raw. It's not good enough. Plain and simple.

* Sheamus' Brogue Kick: This is a Bicycle Kick. Same one A-Train used to use but didn't win matches. And also, I've seem bigger foots that can do a hell of a better job. Carbon feet to be precise.

* Dolph Ziggler's Zig Zag:
As if the dumbass name wasn't enough, it's just him jumping and pulling your head down back first. Isn't that what 70% of every other standard wrestling maneuver does? Don't Reverse DDT's do the same exact thing?

* Santino Marella's Cobra: It's pretty obvious why this is bad. People going down to a comedy move. Rename it the Cred Killer.

* Ted DiBiase's Dream Street: This kind of move should be available only to people about 260 pounds. Because otherwise, it ain't selling.

There are a few good one's out there though:

* Drew McIntyre's Future Shock DDT: Bringing concussive devastation back to the DDT's. This thing looks lethal every time and can be sold greatly. Especially if you can stand on your head.

* Ezekiel Jackson's Uranage Slam:
Like I said about Ted's move, only big guys should do that kind of stuff. And Big Zeke shows why. The strength he displays and the hard thud heard upon landing complete mask the fact that he doesn't even kneel when doing it.
