10 Great WWE Finishers Used By Less-Than-Great Wrestlers
10. Bad News Brown - Ghetto Blaster
The 1980s was not a time of great unique finishing moves. It was all slow submissions and simple impact moves, a product of a time where aesthetic was more important than actual wrestling ability.
Bad News Brown was a true anomaly at this time, in character presentation, booking and finishing moves.
Former Judo champion Brown was a bad guy tweener in a time of good vs. evil, but even his finishing move was something of a contradiction. Brown didn't exactly blow anyone between the ropes, working a slow, measured style that more often than not ended in double countouts and the like.
When he did pick up wins, he did so via a standing enzuigiri that was flashier than anything going at the time. Brown was a fabulous character that was pretty boring in the ring, but his finisher was exciting as heck for its day. Great name, too.
