Has There Ever Been A Worse Finisher Than...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Seriously. Throughout all of WWE/F's history, has a moderately serious wrestler ever had a stupider finisher than the World's Strongest Slam? On what basis is it effective? He's fat, so the impact of a powerslam is even more powerful? Gimme a fuckin' break. Is there anything Mizark can use as a finisher that could be slightly more effective than the crap he uses now? Anything; a fucking splash off the top rope. Whatever. Name a new finisher for Mark Henry.

I like it.

 

But then again, I liked Damien Demento's Big Knee of Doom and was raised on Hogan's Big Leg Drop, so the Big Slam is actually a step up...

Sorry, the Big Leg Drop creams the World's Strongest Slam.

Yes, but Cen'a up and over motion makes you diazzy for the 3 count! Much like the Angle Slam, I guess.

 

I'm not sure if it was a WWF finisher or not (since I only have WrestleMania 5 to go on) but the 'Garvin Stomp' seems really lame. It's a FRIGGIN STOMP, people. It could be anyone form Ronnie Garvin to Someone Who is Not Strong Or Something Like That, Fill in Your Own Name doing a stomp.

Maybe if he gorilla-pressed the guy before using that falling slam in one fell swoop, it would look a little more impressive. Of course, I don't know if that many wrestlers would trust him enough to do that, considering how stiff the guy seems to work.

From what I remember, the Garvin Stomp was just a spot... I don't remember him using it as a finisher. Sometimes he used it to set up his submission move... can't remember if it was a sharpshooter or Texas cloverleaf.

He used the Garvin Stomp in his NWA days and also used it in his world title win over Ric Flair. He used it to wear down his opponents limbs. That's psychology baby!

You do realize that the Junkyard Dog used the "Thump Slam" (which is IDENTICAL to the "World's Strongest Slam") way before Mark Henry was ever even wrestler, don't you?

Hmm, we should really kill him for his inept wrestling abilities then. Oh, wait...

I don't think Steiner has a permanent finisher that he uses on a weekly basis yet (so that excludes the Steiner Recleiner). But the two finishers he has used, the reverse DDT and downward spiral, have been pretty bad.

Garvin Stomp > Heart Punch

You're full of crap. The heart punch rocks. And would work as a finishing move much more believably than the Garvin Stomp. Hell, I'd believe that as a finisher than the World's Strongest Slam.

 

And wasn't a punch in the face the finisher that Garvin used for most of the time while in the NWA, rather than the Garvin Stomp? Hands of Stone, Ronnie Garvin.

Yes. The Garvin Stomp wasn't his finisher. His Hands of Stone would knock his opponent out and then he'd go in for the pin. Unless of course he was fighting someone who wasn't a jobber. He won the title with a Sunset Flip off the top rope in a cage.

Hogan's leg drop and The People's Elbow are much worse.

You also had the Hacksaw clothesline to the knee and the Mongo football tackle which was nothing more than a shoulder block at times.

 

Shawn Michaels used a back suplex which looked very weak and don't forget the Ultimate Warrior's finishers.

 

Or the IRS big clothesline and the Lex Luger elbow to the head.

 

You could go on and on about finishers that were incredibly stupid and pointless if you wanted too.

JYD's Thump Slam was more of a "walking" over-the-shoulder powerslam, as opposed to DBS's "running" powerslam. Seriously, JYD would take one step and then seemingly just fall over with the guy under him. Luckily he had his charisma to fall back on.

Lex Luger had solid steel in that forearm to the head, 2GOLD. That's a hardcore finisher.

 

Shane Douglas' transition move finisher (the belly to belly) was bad, but better than the WSS.

 

I don't want to say the Tornado Punch since I marked out for it when I started watching WWF in 91, but yeah, that was a bad finisher (unless Perfect was selling it).

Ummm.....

 

Mongo's football tackle was the setup move for a Tombstone Piledriver.

Outback Jack's Boomerang and Phantasio's Magic Wedgie are much worse than the World's Fattest Slam.
