BellaOnline Forums Sports Wrestling finisher

Just thought i'd do a topic on the best finisher. First a power finisher and then submission.
My power one is probably the Dominator, i don't just mean Lashleys, i actually thought it was awesome when Ron Simmons used to use it in his Farooq days. Unfortunately we never saw it much, and considering he was a leader of a faction we never saw him win that much either.
Submission is probably Sharpshooter. I used to love it when Bret Hart started tuning up with his trademark moves. I still remember that Bret Hart vs Owen Hart match at Wrestlemania, that was just fantastic. On the submission note i think someone should use an inverted stf as a finisher. Think if they could hold the move it would look great.

My favorite finisher move is TNA's Petey Williams finisher; The Canada Destroyer [color:"purple"] [/color]

Petey sure has an cool looking finisher and I also like the Styles Clash. There are so many good ones these days, some that don't get seen often like the Shining Wizard. The Vertebreaker is too scary looking but it is a cool looking finisher. I liked Brock's F-5 which was stolen from many before him but it did look dangerous.

Submissions...When done right the shartshooter looks painful but not many make it look that way. Bret did.

I think the Crossface looks real and looks painful and is a good looking move when the victim sells it right.

I like Angle's Ankle lock too but againl it's all in how it is sold.

Submission moves well the Sharpshooter was one of the best looking ones but the figure 4 done right and you onlyneed to look at Ric Flair to see how does look very painful.. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Power moves my all time favourite would be Stone Colds stunner, of the newer guys the RKO done right or for high impact the Batista Bomb always makes me and the boys think that's gotta hurt when he nails it.. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A couple of my favorite finishers was always Arn Anderson's rolling spinebuster. (Four Horseman Arn Anderson) as a submission finisher I was always partial to Eric Watts' STF
(Submit Too Fast).

Erik Watts! I almot forgot about him. I wonder how he is doing? I know he had some issues when he left TNA. I hope he is OK now.

And I agree, the figure 4 when Flair does it, looks very painful (and would be if he applied pressure).

Anything but The Worm as a finisher is OK. lol

There's plenty of great finishers out there.

Taka Mischinoka (I know I've spelt that wrong - Light weight Japanese wrestled in WWE @ 2000) - Used a Mischinoka Driver. Like a Body Slam into a Power Bomb. Very Cool.

Mike Awesome's Awesome Bomb off the top rope. Which was just the Razor's Edge. But from the top Rope!

Sharpshooter is great. Also liked the Boston Crab when it actually looked like a painful hold and not just a rest hold.

STF and Crippler Crossface.

The Pile Driver. Simple, yes. But a finisher (Don Muraco, Jerry Lawler, Bret Hart, Undies Taker.)

Bill Golberg also had a number of move's that combined was a great finishing combo. Actually, the big guy had little else.

Tag Teams always had great finishers.

The Doomsday Device (Hawk and Animal only)
Demolition Decatitation Elbow. OUCH!!!!!
Hart Foundation's Hart Attack
Dudley Bomb (or whatever it's called)
MNM's finisher is Good too.

Hey, remember when Jake Roberts could make a DDT look like the absolute end?

And one more, anyone remember the Ghost Buster?
I know it was only Koko B Ware, but it sure looked impressive. Abit like a Vertical Suplex into a half DDT half Piledriver.
