Give someone a new finisher

[Guest Just call me Dan]

If I could change one man's move just a little

I'd change The Big Show's chokeslam to a more awesome power move that exemplifies his size over other big men who do the chokeslam like Taker and Kane.

He should grip his opponents whole face with his huge hand and proceed with the move, slamming their head into the canvas.

It would be cool for a heel show and to bring back that monster moniker.

 

What about you? Who needs a new finisher, and what type of move would you suggest they use?

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Give Kane a military press into a sit-out powerbomb, or something suitably brutal.  He's strong and smooth enough to do it.  Just give him something more than the chokeslam.  It doesn't seem so tough any more.  He's the big man they're pushing, so it'd make sense for him to have some sort of neat extra-powerful finisher that set him apart from the pack.

 

He should also somehow defy physics and do hurricanranas all the time, and they can be called HurriKanes.

Yes, I hate me too.

[Guest]

Booker T, Cannonball Buster.

 

He really doesn't have a viable, out-of-nowhere finisher right now and most everyone needs one. Hell, MATT f'n HARDY at least has a finisher that looks like it might possibly, in some form of existance, hurt.

[Guest]

Since Dean Malenko isn't wrestling anymore, I'd like to see someone decent start using the Texas Cloverleaf. Hell, I remember when Steve Austin would use it once in a while. I can't really picture anyone using that move right now in the WWf except maybe Lance Storm.

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

I entirely agree that Booker needs a new and good finisher. His collection of kicks, while good, are not finisher material.

[Guest Cataclysm911]

Lance Storm needs a credible finisher. The Half Crab is a joke & the Superkick is horrible overused. It may even spark a fan interest if he was to get a new finisher that made the crowd say "ooh" & "ahh." Just like Shane Helms & the Vertebreaker in wCw.

 

As for suggestions on what he should use, I can't really think of anything. I do like the idea of a heel finishing with a submission though. Especially if the babyface has to tap out rather than make it to the ropes everytime.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Call me crazy, but give Austin something besides the Stunner.  It's just so over-used... I'm surprised when he has stuff where he just breaks up a group of heels and gives out like 5 Stunners and everyone stays down.  I mean, it seems like such an easy move since he does it so damn much and so quickly.  I know nobody will agree with me on this one so I'll put in some more favorable examples.

 

I agree on Lance Storm, I really like the guy but a super-kick is no finisher.  The same goes for Justin Credible if they would ever do anything with him.  Didn't he get assigned to RAW or something? Or am I mistaken? Also, nobody seems to want to sell a submission finisher anymore, so that eliminates the Canadian Maple Leaf (is it still called that?).

 

I also agree on Booker T.  Nobody sells the kicks or the scissors kick where they're getting up (sorry, don't know the real name for it).  Plus that move always looked awkward because the setup is SO obvious.  I mean the other wrestler has to stand there, not getting up to stall while Booker goes off the ropes.  It just doesn't look right.

 

How about the Hurricane? Someone mentioned the Vertebreaker, I've never seen it since I never watched WCW.  I think Helms may have done it once on WWF TV, before his Hurricane gimmick, when he lost the Cruiserweight title to Kidman.  Other than that, unless I'm just thinking of some other move, I've never seen him do the Vertebreaker, but then I haven't seen him land a victory in months either ???

[Guest Austin3164life]

Chris Jericho should've incorporated the Shooting Star Press into his arsenal.  His whole persona a couple of months ago was "The Rising Star/Living Legend", so maybe he could've named it the "Legend's Leap" or something of that sort.  If he did that and went over midcarders and main eventers, it would've made him more credible......that and if Triple H didn't go to the booking meetings.....

[Guest]

Give Edge a "Jump out of a moving truck onto a freeway" type finishing move.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

The Stunner is a really fun move and I've always liked it, so I'll say Austin stay with that.

Storm - Use the Cloverleaf or make the Sharpshooter an absolute devastating fiunisher again rather than a signature move (Rock)

Booker - Agreed, he needs a new move fast.

Kane - Same, Chokeslam is cool, but it's beginning to look weak.

Superkicks are crap and Credible has about as much a chance as Dreamer in the raks right now, they could care less about him.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Angle-plex that gimmick is already taken.

Joking.  You seem to be exactly like Anglesault so far.

Let me guess, you have a HUGE hatred for Test and HHH and now Edge because he is dragging Kurt Angle's career under when he should be in a top program.

Well, I agree with you.

If you ask me, Angle should pull an Austin and get what he wants.

[Guest Rick001]

You are all IDIOTS! Booker T and Lance Storm do NOT need new finishers the WWF needs to make the finisher what they USED to be in the WCW.  Edge does need the Downward spiral back and you all need to watch some real wrestling and not this WWF shit before you go back to calling yourselves wrestling fans.

So, I'm an idiot because I don't think a half crab is a legit finish? Nice to know.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

What the hell crawled up your ass?

We are thinking of new moves or moves not used anymore to spice up the rehashed repertoire of some of the guys in the WWF.

What you need to do is chill out and stop  flaming like a jackass.

We don't need someone like you here to screw up this board that carries decent conversation.

[Guest AM The Kid]

Hmm...interesting little speil by that guy.

 

Anywho, I also think Storm needs a new finisher. Maybe a TKO type move that Marc Mero used to use. Altough Brock Lesnar is using that sort of thing. Maybe an inverted suplex or something.

[Guest Lil Naitch]

I say give Jericho the Downward Spiral since the breakdown looks so fucking pathetic. It's exactly what Jeff Jarrett used in WCW. And how about letting Kane use a cradle piledriver, as an update on the tombstone? The guys head has to be more protected that way. And Lance Storm should use.....hmmm, how about a rotation powerbomb?

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

Booker T and Lance Storm do NOT need new finishers the WWF needs to make the finisher what they USED to be in the WCW.

 

Booker T obviously can't use the Book End due to The Rock's Rock Bottom, and as for Lance Storm, it has been mentioned many times about the over-use of superkicks and weakness of the half-crab making them sucky finishers.

[Guest Rick001]

What decent conversations are there on this board?  It's all we hate this or this guy is over psued this guy is underpushed.  List ONE decent conversation and I'll apologize but you can't because done of them are.

[Guest AM The Kid]

I'll apologize but you can't because done of them are.

Learn english and maybe you'll understand.

If you hate the board so much...

 

 

I think everyone knows the end to that sentence!

[Guest razazteca]

Give the Hardy Boys a double team move for a finisher.  Or give Matt a submission move.

 

Booker T can use the Harlem Hangover again

 

DDP can use the 1000 variations of the Ace Crusher as a finisher

 

XPac can use the Chicken Wing Submission

 

Justin Credible can use a spinning powerbomb

[Guest gwf0704]

The Big Show should use the clawhold as his setup move, then when the guy is almost out he can faceslam them on the mat.  The cool thing about the claw is that with his strength and size it would be credible for him to put the move on someone and forcing a submission or tap out.  He really wouldnt even need the slam!  BRING BACK THE CLAWHOLD!!!!

[Guest Human Fly]

I remember in ECW Lance Storm used a top rope spinning heel kick as a finisher. That was kind of cool. I also remember him doing an elbow to the face while the guy was still standing (Tracy Smothers called it the jaw jacker I think) either of those were pretty cool.

[Guest thebear]

Scott Hall needs a more quick hit move...

 

As cool as the Outsider's Edge is... he needs something he can hit out of somewhere, and that bastardized stunner isn't gonna cut it

[Guest Risk]

Finishers shouldn't be kill alls, they should just be signature moves, IMO.

[Guest Dace59]

Chris Jericho should've incorporated the Shooting Star Press into his arsenal

 

How many times do I have to say this... Jericho will NEVER EVER! be trying a Shooting Star Press again after breaking his arm trying one in pratice.

 

Storm his meant to do an Elveated half crab, but most people don't want to take it like that, cuz it HURTS so much, it's a legit painful hold. It should look move like a single leg liontamer with knee in back.

 

I say give Jericho the Downward Spiral since the breakdown looks so fucking pathetic. It's exactly what Jeff Jarrett used in WCW

Jarret used the Strock, which was an inverted STO/ reverse side Russain Leg Sweep, he did not full nelson the arms. The DS is less credible than the Breakdown, which is a really nice move. Good bump is people take it COUGHrockCOUGH!

 

Booker T can use the Harlem Hangover again

Think he stopped dude to injuries

 

As cool as the Outsider's Edge is... he needs something he can hit out of somewhere, and that bastardized stunner isn't gonna cut it

The only reason he never hits it on Austin is that Austin doesn't take any powerbombs due to his injuries.

[Guest Suicide King]

I, for one, would love to see the  facial claw come back as a legitimate finisher, particularly with a nice slam at the end. I agree that Big Show is the guy for it as well.  Kane could use a new finisher of course as can the thousands of people using superkicks.  I myself have no problem with the breakdown, but if there were one thing I would like to see more than anything it would be more submission finishers.  Many, many more, and maybe even some that were sold too!  One of my personal favorites that I haven't seen in the States is a reverse elevated Cloverleaf that looks absolutely brutal.  Give it to Lance Storm and for the love of God push him to mid-card already!

[Guest]

How can you faceslam a guy out of a clawhold dude?

 

Booker T, Cannonball Buster.

 

He really doesn't have a viable, out-of-nowhere finisher right now and most everyone needs one. Hell, MATT f'n HARDY at least has a finisher that looks like it might possibly, in some form of existance, hurt.

What's a Cannoball buster? Sounds cool. Booker doesn't even HAVE a finsiher at all!

 

It's just so over-used... I'm surprised when he has stuff where he just breaks up a group of heels and gives out like 5 Stunners and everyone stays down.  I mean, it seems like such an easy move since he does it so damn much and so quickly.

So what if it is an easy move? Would that mean it should not be SCSA's finisher?

 

I say give Jericho the Downward Spiral since the breakdown looks so fucking pathetic. It's exactly what Jeff Jarrett used in WCW. And how about letting Kane use a cradle piledriver, as an update on the tombstone? The guys head has to be more protected that way.

The cradle piledriver deosn't protect someonme's head at all. It it more dangerous. And Jericho will not do a DS because it starts out too much like a Rock Bottom.

 

Chris Jericho should've incorporated the Shooting Star Press into his arsenal.

He can't do even that. Plus Kidman uses it.

 

Give Edge a "Jump out of a moving truck onto a freeway" type finishing move.

Damn get off Anglesault's cock already.

 

How many times do I have to say this... Jericho will NEVER EVER! be trying a Shooting Star Press again after breaking his arm trying one in pratice.

I laways thought wrestlers should do test to see if they can do high risk moves in swimming pools to see if they can do then.

 

Storm his meant to do an Elveated half crab, but most people don't want to take it like that, cuz it HURTS so much, it's a legit painful hold. It should look move like a single leg liontamer with knee in back.

I am sure Lance could make it look real but still be painless.

 

Jarret used the Strock, which was an inverted STO/ reverse side Russain Leg Sweep, he did not full nelson the arms. The DS is less credible than the Breakdown, which is a really nice move. Good bump is people take it COUGHrockCOUGH!

The Breakdown is awful. He jsut take Edge's full nelson bulldog if he has to do a full nelson move.

 

The only reason he never hits it on Austin is that Austin doesn't take any powerbombs due to his injuries.

Has'nt Austin been LAst Rided before though?

[Guest]

For Kane's new finisher. BURNING HAMMER!!! The Inverted DVD that Mosh used to do. It's in WWF No Mercy.

 

Goldust and the Hurricane have way too many finishers.

 

Give Justin Credible the ORANGE BOMB!!! A Vertical suplex into a powerbomb!!

 

The JackHammer is a cool move when it is not done by a talentless goof like Billy Gunn or a career killer like Goldberg. Give it to Lance Storm and have him execute it from the top rope like a superplex

[Guest Ace309]

Um... a Burning Hammer is a torture rack/backbreaker (I can't remember what the degree of difference is...) with a side head-drop. There's no way in hell that'll ever get on WWF TV.
