10 Awesome Finishers WWE Stars Should Steal

10. Last Falconry (Shingo Takagi)

For use by: Kevin Owens

There are more finisher kick-outs than rest holds in the modern WWE match, so many of which bleed into the next through the process of homogenisation. Simply "hooking the leg" does not cover it - literally - despite how often and how hysterically Michael Cole sells it as some bulletproof tactic. It would be nice for a finisher to actually become or at least resemble a finisher nowadays, and Shingo Takagi's Last Falconry is the perfect antidote to the problem: a stunning power move in itself, the segue into a devilish pinning predicament by way of a larynx-crushing leg drop is seamless. If any move is capable of truly delivering that elusive pop, it is a move from which escape appears impossible. Kevin Owens is just one of several culprits to wrestle within the same match structure - and the move isn't too dissimilar to his own superplex counter of choice.

This also realistically complies with WWE's safety standards, which was a consideration throughout the list - otherwise, Braun Strowman would be smashing up with motherf*ckers with the Tiger Driver '91 for days.
