I don't think something can qualify as a finisher if it never finishes off someone. As much as I fucking love the Blue Thunder Bomb, it's more a signature move than a finisher. Blue Thunder Bomb should be his finisher over the Helluva Kick though.

I agree with all those. I especially enjoy sit down powerbombs. Cesaro's powerbomb(I guess more of a slam) he did on Kofi on Monday was great as well.
With all that said, are there such things as "finishers" nowadays? Seems like people kick out of them all the time.

My favorite wrestling move will always be the dick kick.
Best version of the nut shot.

The RKO is a fine move but it's diminished by the number of predictable spotfests it got
I love the Cutter, on the other hand. Maybe because it looks much more effective rather than the guy doing the move taking a big brunt of the impact by jumping in the air (unless it's off a springboard/aerial spot).
to be fair, it was a superkick finisher back before everyone under the sun started doing superkicks.
agreed, I love both moves but the Blue Thunder Bomb has so much impact and swag-factor, it should be his protected finisher
it's the only "pump up" superkick that actually lands most of the time

Sweet chin music by Shawn would still PPP the crowd louder than the young fucks doing it.
Blue Thunder Bomb has that special something. You see it happening and can just tell you are watching something special.
lol, Sunny just tweeted me giving a shoutout to Disco Inferno's Chartbuster
Blue Thunder Bomb is probably the best looking move in wrestling today

The constant finisher kickout shit aside, this is another problem for the WWE. Things like a DDT, powerbomb, and superkicks are common moves in guys movesets. Like a Luke Harper moveset.

The DDT is one of those moves that could fuck someone's life up if used out of the ring.
Kids, Don't Try This.

WWE has a DragonBall Z-like escalation issue going on with moves. Powerbombs shouldn't be standard fucking moves.
Yeah I actually feel bad for excluding Jake's DDT from my fav five
the DDT isn't that bad, the double underhook DDT kills about a billion children every year in schoolyards though
anything double underhooked is fucking dangerous
I did this once to an annoying cousin of mine on a BurgerKing playground as a kid.
He didn't like it too much.
No it wasn't pavement. It was like AstroTurf.

F5's great when either a shark or Michael Cole sell it
Cutter was great until DDP destroyed his back doing it and openly was in agony 2 of 3 Cutters into his surprise Rumble appearance

I believe any move can get over as a finisher if you book it right
The Mandible Claw is probably the perfect example of this.

Tonight looks like Lucha Underground then second half of NXT.
Trios ladder match should be aces

The Rock was super theatrical and made boring moves look great
that's why he's the GOAT
And made great moves look like shit (see - the sharpshooter)
Rock has one of the more underrated DDTs ever though.
Edit - Cross posting my NXT predictions for tonight

I love a good spinebuster and frog splash
Rock is the one who killed the DDT as a finisher. Fuck his DDT and the awful selling with it. Fucking ruined it.
He's the GOAT by jacking from the GOAT?

that vid is from 2010, The Rock has been doing it since 98. Try again bruh.
Is that Golddust? I can't tell because this video was made in 125x100 resolution
Hollywood actor The Rock only wrestled in 2012, dummy

I wanted to see the Steiner addition to the roster page but the GFW site keeps setting off my laptop security warnings. Jesus christ :lol

Wrestlers were using flying fists ex: Tito Santana as finishers back in the day. That's a horrible finisher
Some guy used a legdrop for a bit. No idea what happened to him.

I liked pump handle slams and it feels like they completely stopped doing them in recent years.

Why isn't the new face of fear in the Elimination Chamber? It's a good match fit for him. I know they want to save brahs for MiTB but this is better....

I think Wade is the only one doing it but of course it doesn't look that good

Wade is not king material.
He's average as fuck so he's perfect for it.
100% right, although his in ring has been serviceable enough to keep him going. All his backstage stuff, promos, interviews whatever have been incredibly underwhelming. He needs to channel his super laid back I don't give a fuck about anything side when he doesn't have the paint on. Cos right now he is a generic lowcard UFC fighter level of charisma on the mic
End of Days > Coup de Grace. End of Days at least looks cool even if it doesn't make sense.
like most of wrestling
