What are the best finishers in the WWE?

[Guest Hybrid420]

1)Five Star Frog Splash

2) Swanton

3) Shining Wizard ( not exactly a finisher but God I luv that move)

4)Vertebreaker

5)Test Drive

6)Shooting Star press

7)Overdrive

8)Atomic legdrop...lmao nah Im kidding, thats it

[Guest saturnmark4life]

The overdrive is TERRIBLE. Just go into SM4, and watch it in the create mode. Unbelievable. It doesn't do anything. The stunner (or maybe the diamond cutter) is the perfect finisher. Anyone, anywhere, anytime. Of course, for wwe that doesn't count. I think my favourite at the moment is gah, i dunno, the unprettier?

[ChrisMWaters]

Even though it's rarely employed...

 

~VERTIBREAKER! Will bend your spine...VERTIBREAKER! Does the trick every time!~

[Guest converge241]

I like the rock bottom

very simple but effective

F5

Last Ride

Victoria's is nice but seems more than its worth to waste on the womens division

[Guest eirejmcmahon]

F5, Pedigree and Stunner.

[Secret Agent]

well no finishers pop the crowds like a stunner or a people's elbow.

[Guest razazteca]

Stevie-T

Vertebreaker

Liontamer

Bookdust double team move

***** Frog Splash

El Paso Lasso

Cross Face

Angle Slam 2002

Hurricana

Halo

[Guest phoenixrising]

F5

Tiger Bomb

Crash Landing

Shooting Star Press

Five Star Frog Splash

whatever the name of Victoria's is (Spinal Shock???)

Pedigree...only true "one shot one kill" finisher now

[Guest Mr. Slim Citrus]

whatever the name of Victoria's is

The Widow's Peak (according to JR)

[Guest bob_barron]

Harlem Hangover

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Havent seen one of these "best finisher" threads on here in a while.

 

F5

***** Frog Splash

 

uh..

 

thats about it..

[Guest creativename]

Lionsault. Even though it only hits about 10% of the time and might very well be the least credible finisher in the company...I still love that move.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

well no finishers pop the crowds like a stunner or a people's elbow.

The ***** Splash got close because when he hits it, 90% of the time... IT'S OVER.

 

 

The F-5 is getting close too because it looks cool, and because no one has kicked out of it yet.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I don't like the frog splash cos climbing the turnbuckle and then hitting it AND always getting the pin just bugs me. There's no suspense.

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

I mark for Regal's Power of the Kick (copyright me)

I really dislike chokeslams, especially as finishers.

Ditto. They chose to give that move to Orton but not freakin' kick-ass looking 3.0? Morons.

 

The move does nothing, is hard to set up, isn't credible, and screams "innovative overblown indy-wrestler inspired move that doesn't look as effective as a simple existing move would be."

 

Stevie-T rawks, though. It's somewhere between a regular Double Arm and the awesome Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am.

[Guest Goodear]

In no particular order...

 

Edge-a-cution

Tombstone Piledriver

Baldo Bomb

619

Reverse Gory Bomb

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

I'm still all about the Crippler Crossface as well as the Eddy G Frog Splash.

[Guest Tod deKindes]

Bookdust double team move

That would be the Heat Seeker, resembling the old Hart Attack, but with a jumping side kick instead of a clothesline. Born during the original Harlem Heat days. I was a major mark for that move and am glad to see it again.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

The Gorybreaker Victoria uses is bad as hell. Victoria using it is another story.

 

Five Star

Stevie's double arm

Lo-Down (put D'lo on Raw damn you!)

Crossface, especially when it's used as a counter

I still don't like Brock, but F5 is getting there because, let's face it, he can pick up Show without breaking a sweat.

 

I agree with whoever said Pedigree is the only insta-finish anymore. Wonder why that is...

 

As for the Vertebreaker, if they brought back the Vertebreaker song and dancers, Helms would be champ in two months.

[Guest razazteca]

3D gets a major pop whenever the Dudleys set up the move.

[Guest jester]

As much as I hate you know who, I do like the Pedigree as a finisher. I hear that it used to look much sicker though,where instead of dropping you on your face it looked like you were dropped on your head, crushing your neck and spine...

[Guest Quik]

Sharpshooter

 

Jester currently has the best sig here.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

I hear that it used to look much sicker though,where instead of dropping you on your face it looked like you were dropped on your head, crushing your neck and spine...

*sigh* Here we go again: HHH NEVER used that version. He was facing some jobber in 95 or something and his opponent sold it wrong. Instead of landing face first, he tried to sell it like a pildedriver. It looked sick, but wasn't scripted.

 

And I agree that the Pedigree is a great finisher.

Any frogsplash does the trick for me.

Tombstone Piledriver. It's not currently used, but I always loved it.

What's the Test Drive? Is it the same as the Overdrive? Come to think of it, what's the Overdrive?

[Guest DragonflyKid]

The Pedigree is not a great finisher, it looks weak because HHH releashes his opponents arms way too early. If it was executed right it would look much better.

 

I like Batista's Sit-down Powerbomb as he delivers it with a great deal of impact, but I wonder if he'll be able to hit as stiffly on the main-eventers instead of jobbers.

 

The F-5 looks good, one of my favorites.

 

The ***** Frogsplash is cool looking but has lost it's luster. RVD needs a new, credible finisher. His problem is his weak strikes and lack of power moves. How is he going to look credible in main-events with his style? I dislike the glorified brawling style the WWE employs but RVD's style still looks out of place.

 

D-Lo Riding Bomb is great, I wish they'd push him though.

 

I hate Bradshaw but I love stiff Lariats so his finisher gets a vote.

[Guest Goodear]

The Overdrive is that swinging rocker dropper looking thing that Randy Orton and Elix Skipper use.

 

The Testdrive is a reverse DDT into diamond cutter thing that Reno, Christopher Daniels, Nova and Test use.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

The Pedigree is not a great finisher, it looks weak because HHH releashes his opponents arms way too early. If it was executed right it would look much better.

That's a given. I don't think we're envisioning these moves botched or anything. If we were using HHH's super-safe-pedigree-of-DOOM that used on HBK when he turned heel this Summer, it sure as hell wouldn't be on anyone's list.

[Guest Goodear]

Yeah, the pedigree back in the Greenwich BlueBlood days was wicked cool. Hunter got the perfect amount of lift back in the day ... its what made his version so much better than Sick Boy's.
