Favorite Finishing Moves

Personally my two favorites are the Tombstone Piledriver and the Sharpshooter/Scorpion Death Lock

I like the moves that look like they would hurt the most. Piledriver, Pedigree, stuff like that. I totally HATE shit like the People's elbow, the Worm, and that crap.

I ten to like the moves you can pull out of nowhere, like the RKO, backstabber, sheltons one (wheterv its called) but most prob the super kick, because its simple, looks and sounds effective

The Stunner, Rock Bottom, etc. I like a finisher that can swerve the crowd by being fast enough to be unexpected.

I'm not fond of finishing (or any) moves that allow the performer to milk the crowd. Flair is the greatest of all time, but I hated the way he did the Figure-Four there toward the end; where he would "Woo!" and milk it. I liked how, in the old days, he would just slap it on.

Also, if HBK's elbow drop is so devastating, why does his opponent always get up within seconds of being hit by it, allowing him to set up the Sweet Chin Music? It defies logic and looks phony as hell.

Why do the announcers make such a big deal of someone getting hit with Matt Hardy's Side-Effect when no one in the history of wrestling has ever been beaten with it?

While it's not a finishing move, I have a HUGE issue with Booker T's bicycle kick, Harlem Sidekick or whatever they're calling it these days. Isn't it the phoniest looking thing in the world when he kicks someone in the stomach and takes off for the ropes, while his opponent just bends over and waits for the kick? For the love of God, sell the initial kick...make it look like there's a reason for standing there bent over.

The best I ever saw anyone take it was Jericho. He actually went down to one knee with his face contorting in pain and perfectly timed getting his head back in place to get hit.

That's cause Jericho is God.

Anyway, my favourite moves are the ones that actually LOOK like they could kill ya.

#1: Pedigree. While it's kind of crap to set up, think about someone dropping you on your face, and jumping on the back of the head at the same time.

#2: Sweet Chin Music. Shawn has great aim, and great timing with it. If it was someone kicking me in the face like that, I'd stay down for a few seconds, too.

#3: Piledriver. Much like the Pedigree, this takes a while to set up, but the effect? Well, it's banned for a reason.

#4: Last Ride/Jacknife Powerbomb. These are yet more moves that take too damned long to deliver. But, again, think about it. You just fell from about 8 or 9 feet, flat on your back. Yup. Pin me, I'm done.

#5: The Lariat. Not the Clothesline, but the Puroseau and Stan Hanson's Lariat, or the Clothesline from Hell. Some big fucker takes a running start and slams his arm across your neck. Ouch.

Well, those are mine.
