WWE: 10 Worst Finishing Moves
A wrestlers finisher is one of the top ways in which a superstar can forge their own success in the WWE and be remembered as a legend. Every single legend of the business had a memorable signature manoeuvre that they used to finish off their opponent. From the Hogan Leg Drop to the Stone Cold Stunner to The Pedigree, each move personified that superstars character in a move that everyone remembers. This is one of the only aspects every genuine legend shares and will forever play a part in creating the new breed of hall of famers. During this current era it is quite naturally becoming difficult for talent to pick a new, distinctive move that isnt associated with any other that came before and it really does show. The current crop of WWE talent have such forgettable finishers that creating this list was actually much more difficult than I could have imagined as I simply didnt know certain talents moves. A lot of that has plenty to do with how unimaginative or in fact over imaginative the moves some superstars choose to have as their move of doom. I was told in wrestling school that a finisher should have three characteristics to even be remotely good. The performer needs to be able to do it on anyone, it should be able to come out of nowhere and should have untold amounts of reversals. The simplest way to tick all three boxes was to have a strike, submission or aerial move for obvious reasons but if you look at the past great finishers, they all fill the same template. Seems some of the WWE roster werent told this nugget or adhered to it but instead thought well outside the box when trying to create their own move. Thats not to say there arent some great moves in WWE today and over the next two days, we will highlight the 10 best and 10 worst finishing moves in WWE today. Lets start with the worst (the best will follow tomorrow)...
