10 Wrestlers Who Desperately Need New Finishers

10. The Big Show

To be sure, getting punched in the face by a guy with a fist the size of a cantaloupe can't be pleasant. Plus, the fact that The Big Show typically connects very well with his punches makes the WMD finisher one of the more believable ones in wrestling.

At the same time, though, it's hard not to think that Big Show is wasting his size simply by using a punch as a finisher. Anybody can punch someone, and while Show's punch does pack power, a 6'2" wrestler with a kayfabe boxing background could knock his opponents out just as easily, and with the same level of credibility.

Big Show's old finisher, the Chokeslam, was much more visually impressive than the WMD. Though Show wasn't the first to use the Chokeslam to great success, his variation - where he held his opponent high up in the air for a moment before planting him - made good use of his incredible size.

The Big Show's career is probably coming to an end within a matter of months, but building up the Chokeslam leading to his WrestleMania match with Shaq - surely his most important match in years - would add an extra layer of intrigue to the bout.
