10 Best AEW Finishers
5. PAC's Black Arrow/Brutaliser One-Two
PAC is one of the best talents across the globe, but isn't mentioned in that conversation much, perhaps as a result of his awesome run in Dragon Gate, a promotion that while excellent cannot transcend the relentless churn of the coverage cycle.
A full calendar year of stealing AEW Dynamite shows should make his brilliance as clear as the whites of his furious eyes; a spectacular performer with a psychological prowess to somehow make audiences resent that, he has contrived also to improve upon a finish that was already approaching G.O.A.T tier. The Black Arrow is a jaw-dropping feat of creative agility fused with the wincing impact powered by his hulking, shredded frame. He has protected it with total conviction to such an extent that the guy who kicks out of it will be made, in part.
His recent upgrade is perfectly in-character because it's almost unnecessarily cruel. Nobody has kicked out of the Arrow, and yet, PAC subsequently cranks the neck of his opponents at a ghastly angle to make the unconscious die, or at least that's what it looks like, with the Brutaliser.
It puts the victims over, too. It's his safeguard for victory, required to put his strongest competition away.
