Wrestling's Best Finishers

[Bentley's Absurd Gait]

Wrestling'd come a long way from the figure four (with respect to Naitch) and the full nelson (no respect to Chris Masters). Some of the finishing moves being perpetrated in Japan and the Independent US and European Promotions are jaw dropping. However 'fake' wrestling may be, pop along to youtube and have a look at some of the compilations posted by 'Suicidal Dragon', and tell me that didn't hurt the guy on the receiving end.

My favourite Finishers at the moment are:

In Singles:
1. Cop Killah - Homicide
2. Brainbustaaaaaaaahhhhh - El Generico
3. Go 2 Sleep - Kenta

In Tag Teams:
1. Assisted Tower of London - Nigel McGuinness & Doug Williams
2. Perfect Blue Destiny - Kotaro Suzuki & Ricky Marvin
3. Powerbomb/Lungblower - Super Dragon & Davey Richards

Would be interested to see other people's favourites.

Haven't watched it for a while actually but a couple of my favourites include The People's Elbow, anything where Matt and Jeff were doing high flying finishers as a tag team, also the Dudleys, and I can't remember what it was called but Rikishi's finisher - I'm sure you know the one I mean!

Tell it to the guy going through the tubes.

My fave's are Randy "Heat Man" Smallcock and Isaiah "One Good Turn Deserves Another, don't you think? Especially when it relates to passing on the details of an arboricultarist who can take down that problem tree in your back garden for little more than $200" Hampton.

:clap: Oh yes, a bit of HBK. Always liked Jericho as well, so glad to see him back.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Cant beat the Stone Cold Stunner.

 

[Pubey]

Tombstone was always the one me and my little bro tried to recreate, much to my mums horror!

 

[Beefy]

I was watching the Raw 15th Anniversary Triple-DVD set thingy the other night. They showed the HBK vs Shelton Benjamin match from the Gold-Rush series in 2005 (I think). The spot that ended that match was sick!

Just had to come on to show off the fact that I've changed my picture as it seemed kind of relevant to this thread! Mr Beefcake himself!

As much as I liked Hogan (preferred him as a heel), the Legdrop was an absolute stinker of a finisher :puke

Rob Van Dam's 5-star Frog Splash anyone? Hang time was amazing, and the way he was able to shift his body weight in mid-air to land on an opponent lying in the wrong position was pretty sweet!

Jack 'the snake' Roberts DDT finisher was quite good until it became a 'run of the mill' move that is seen nowadays.
