Worst current finisher on the main roster is probably...

No, it absolutely IS the Zig-Zag. Worst finisher and it isn't even a contest.

I think even he realized it when he started using the superkick as his true finisher lately.

I like a good sit-out power bomb. Batista had it right.

The one Reigns does that's more of a sitdown Razor's Edge is pretty fucking awesome looking. A million times better than his spear.

The face of the company wins with a fireman's carry.

Roman's Razor's Edge Powerbomb is pretty dope. KO's Papa Powerbomb is also great. It's hard to screw up a powerbomb and make it look bad (unless you're Kevin Nash, then it's easy)

AJ Styles doesn't use the AA though!!!

I don't watch TV but has it actually finished a match yet?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Through history nothing will top Arn's Spinebuster as one of the best if not the best, but what else is up there?

Dark horse entrant: Rick Martel's Boston Crab was great.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Charlotte is dangerous in the ring, look at how she injures Bayley here

 

[Sephzilla]

i love you guys but...

there is zero chance punk ever returns. i think you all underestimate how toxic that relationship between him and the company was even after his exit.

Don't get me wrong, i would mark the fuck out to the point that it freaks my wife and kids out, but it isnt happening.

Punk's relationship with WWE isn't even remotely as toxic as Bret Hart's relationship with the company was. And Bret came back.

Kevin Nash has a great powerbomb

it's also the safest powerbomb in pro wrestling and it fits his character completely.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

As far as submission finishers go though, Rings of Saturn was also one of my favorites. Saturn never did it lazy, always thrashed about and that gave it a lot of credence. I believed he was hurting them.

Just dropping an opponent from the powerbomb position looks like absolute shit, but maybe that's just me.

I feel like I remember Rings of Saturn always getting a big pop too.

Bret Hart's Sharpshooter will always be my favorite submission finisher because the dude knew how to crank it and make it look savage without actually hurting his opponent. Rings of Saturn was also pretty great.

Spoiler

Chris Benoit's Crippler Crossface was pretty good too

. In hindsight Bob Backlund's Crossface Chickenwing was kind of cool too.

Which he regretted as it invalidated his long standing lloyds of London payout and caused him even more headaches.

 

[Oersted]

if Seth was in that gif, we'd have 4 pages of people talking shit about him by now. She always gets a free pass, ALWAYS

She has the worst finisher in the business
she's not the best in the ring
her gimmick is literally John Cena's

I hate the idea of Bayley's fanboys more than I hate Bayley

Pure babyface isn't a gimmick

 

[imBask]

I also still have a problem with Coup de Grace, I still don't get it. It looks so gentle and weak

 

[Cagey]

The women taking the move just go rag doll when she does it so it looks a little stronger.

Okay. That makes sense.

 

[Data West]

pop-up powerbobm is easily the worst powerbomb

no buildup. powerbomb shouldn't be some dumb 'outtanowhere' move

 

[Sephzilla]

Is the Razor's Edge classified as a powerbomb or something else?

I also still have a problem with Coup de Grace, I still don't get it. It looks so gentle and weak

It seems like such an out of character finisher for Balor

 

[Mahonay]

I don't watch TV but has it actually finished a match yet?

It's how he got his title match against Ambrose.

 

[Cagey]

It's also wholly unbelievable against most of the roster. KO isn't throwing Orton in the air. Not his fault though. Most wrestlers couldn't effectively make that move work against most others. Just powerbomb dudes.

 

[Sephzilla]

I like the Pop Up Powerbomb but I sort of wish the Bullfrog Splash was KO's finisher. He does that really well. The Bullfrog Splash is to KO what the Blue Thunder Bomb is to Sami Zayn - a great looking move that looks better than his actual finisher.

I don't know if I agree with this in the slightest and, realistically, I don't think Punk is comparing this ordeal to that of Bret's anyway.

Vince is already on record as saying he'd welcome Punk back if Punk wanted to return. And, as long as Vince is alive, Vince will trump HHH. Personally I think Punk will come back at some point and I bet he'll take one of those cushy part-timer contracts and get a Mania main event just to prove a point.

 

[Kaladin]

Sitout powerbomb is still the best finisher in the history of finishers.

 

[Fantomex]

Punk will get beat, go for another match, get beat. Take 6 months to decide hes spent too much money on trainers and come back to WWE to challenge Seth for the strap.

Vince had a weird father-son dynamic with Punk even if he fucked him around booking wise. Vince would take him back in a second.

Sure, Vince's decision overrides HHH every time, but if a talent still has a huge issue with HHH they are much less likely to come back because he is a central part of the day to day operations.

Cat was out of the bag last night but Mr Gallagher announced he's coming to raw!

One of the best guys at CWC, but I don't know how's the crowd not going to immediatly relate him to the Vauds and dismiss him for that.

 

[klonere]

Yeah the pop-up powerbomb looks pretty weak and is very unconvincing as a finisher.

The Bullfrog Splash would be an excellent finisher for Owens methinks

 

[Kaladin]

My only problem with the Pop Up powerbomb is that it's telegraphed to hell. Every time Owens throws someone into the ropes they should be doing everything they can to block that.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Bayley is fine as a character. With the exception of those moments where she's being written like she's a ten year old, then it just gets weird.

My only problem with the Pop Up powerbomb is that it's telegraphed to hell. Every time Owens throws someone into the ropes they should be doing everything they can to block that.

Pretty much my feelings with Ambrose's rebound lariat. If you knock the guy back against the ropes, know what the fuck he's gonna do.

 

[Mahonay]

Nah, his charisma will override that immediately I feel.

 

[Data West]

The benefit of getting to do multiple takes, but Mil Muertes has a great looking everything

 

[Mahonay]

My only problem with the Pop Up powerbomb is that it's telegraphed to hell. Every time Owens throws someone into the ropes they should be doing everything they can to block that.

I mean Irish Whips are a big part of every match, so it's somewhat believable they'd hit the ropes like they normally do.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Did Bo Dallas actually come out all serious with signs and squash a jobber or did I have some kind of fever dream?

One of my highlights of Raw. That attire was horrible though.

There's more, kinda NSFW

I think the slam itself is dope.

I eyeroll when a 6'3" 240 guy has to jump in the air for Owens to execute the slam part of the powerbomb though.

I like that he just powerbombed Zayn last night.

...Cesaro would have been a good one to have the pop up powerbomb now that I think about it.

 

[Kaladin]

Yeah but he throws people into the ropes in a very specific way to set up that move. It's never a standard irish whip.

what the fuck is this

edit: read the explanation, gotcha

fucked up of her to post it online

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Best part of last night's show by far:

 

[Mahonay]

Well this is the same world where people always stand up after receiving a second clothesline from John Cena despite there being 14 years of video evidence for what comes next.

 

[Barrage]

what the fuck is this

These ringrats ain't loyal

 

[spindashing]

Ahmed Johnson's Pearl River Plunge/Tiger Bomb is one of my favorite moves of all time.

 

[Toki767]

Best part of last night's show by far:

If Nia was an actual heel she'd be pissed rather than looking like Alicia spilled a drink on her.

She has that "this wasn't part of the script" look on face.

 

[Uno Venova]

Best part of last night's show by far:

Remembering they have more than 4 women (and one of them is A 3:16) was great last night.

 

[Mahonay]

Ahmed Johnson's Pearl River Plunge/Tiger Bomb is one of my favorite moves of all time.

It's a miracle he never killed anyone with this considering he botched it 50 percent of the time.

 

[Kaladin]

Aside from the injury, why isn't Sami Zayn over as a top babyface?

 

[Sephzilla]

Ahmed Johnson's Pearl River Plunge/Tiger Bomb is one of my favorite moves of all time.

Ahmed doing the move and then walking around taunting instead of going for a pin is killing me

Aside from the injury, why isn't Sami Zayn over as a top babyface?

Honestly he hasn't been booked well, they put him against KO too much at this point, and he takes a few too many losses.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

If Nia was an actual heel she'd be pissed rather than looking like Alicia spilled a drink on her.

She has that "this wasn't part of the script" look on face.

Definitely wasn't planned. Her and Alicia both looked stunned that it hit her straight in the face.

 

[imBask]

he's my hometown boy and even I am bored with him

explain his gimmick to me

 

[Man God]

Foxy Three Sixteen says I just whipped your topping.

 

[Toki767]

Definitely wasn't planned. Her and Alicia both looked stunned that it hit her straight in the face.

Well Alicia's reaction was fine because you would think she wouldn't want to piss off a supposed monster heel.
