10 Best Ever Counters To WWE Finishers

A good finisher is vital to becoming a success in wrestling. Can you imagine Jake Roberts without the DDT, or Shawn Michaels without Sweet Chin Music or Stone Cold without the stunner? Having a good finisher gives you something to build towards and tease throughout a match, they can be used for storylines and have many, many other uses. But what makes a good finisher? Well, if you want to work on top, you better be able to use your finisher on everyone from The Big Show to Hornswoggle. The best finishers should be able to be hit on anyone. It should be impactful and relatively easy to execute. It is also important that your finish can be used in various scenarios. Being able to hit your finish out of midair, off the top rope or as a counter to another move can make a match just that little bit much more exciting and elevate it to greatness. Plus, it looks really, really cool. So let's look at ten of the best counters to finishers (and vice-verca) in WWE history. Honorable mention: Chris Jericho tears off Rey Mysterio's mask as he goes for the 619 at Extreme Rules 2009. Could they have timed this one any more perfectly? Not only was it a great finish but it played a huge part in their storyline and they even referred back to it during their next match at The Bash.
