10 Current WWE Wrestlers Who Need New Finishing Moves

10. The Miz

Does The Miz even need a finisher at this point? He is the sneakiest, smarmiest of heels, and as such is mostly going to win matches via pulling the tights or a Maryse distraction, which is a finishing move I would have absolutely no problem having to suffer.

Officially, Miz uses the Skull Crushing Finale as a finish, but it hasn't really felt impactful enough to work for a number of years now. For a brief while the current Intercontinental Champion used the Figure Four Leglock as a match-ender, but everyone quickly realised what an erroneous decision this was.

The problem with the Skull Crushing Finale is that Jeff Jarrett practically used the same move, only he called it 'The Stroke'.

Okay, there are more issues with it than that, but it does feel fairly outdated and limp when it comes to modern finishers. Even so, it is definitely better than that weird 'Reality Check' thing he used to do.
