10 Most BRUTAL Looking Finishers In Wrestling Today

10. Brody King - Gonzo Bomb

Paul Orndorff, Jerry Lynn, and FTR have all utilised the traditional Piledriver to some capacity.

Orndorff's was a standard variant, while Lynn opted for a Gotch-style variant ala Minoru Suzuki, and FTR, as the Brainbusters did before them, apply a spike on top, compressing opponents' necks wonderfully.

These all fair in modern comparison to Brody King, though.

When he hoists an opponent up, he traditionally places them over his shoulder, making it appear as if he's actually performing a Dominator. Instead, he drops them ever so slightly, spiking the poor adversary directly on their head in an incredibly sick visual.

There's an immense amount of trust put into anyone when executing a Piledriver as it is, but for Brody King, there must be a layer above the norm. When Paul Orndorff used the traditional variant, he lifted his opponent so that they went up by a ninety-degree angle. It's still dangerous, of course, but it remains safer, for lack of a better term. For Brody, however, he brings his opponent down at a more precarious angle, almost onto the rear of their neck, as opposed to a direct spike on the head.

Almost everything could go wrong with one single hiccup, but Brody has managed to perfect his match-ending manoeuvre.
