10 Current WWE Wrestlers Who Need New Finishing Moves
1. Alberto Del Rio
Oh lord make it stop, make it stop, make it stop!
With the previous nine entries, you can complain about their choice of finishing move until you are blue in the face. Whether it is Crews' Awkward Bomb, Braun's confused chokeslam or Nia's ham, there are shoddy finisher culprits a-plenty throughout the World Wrestling Entertainment roster.
None of these come close to the absolute sh*tstorm that is the Alberto Del Rio finishing move situation. When Del Rio first arrived on the scene in 2010 he came with an insatiable desire to stretch arms, putting many an opponent away with his patented cross armbreaker.
Fast forward to his return in 2014 and you've got a conundrum. Del Rio returned by defeating John Cena, but you aren't going to have Cena tap out now, are you? So the decision was to have Del Rio use The Kick That Won Him A World Championship. It's a basement superkick, and it works just fine.
For some reason (and I can only point the finger at insanity), even this was eschewed in favour of Del Rio using the horrible and convoluted Tree of Woe Double Stomp That Takes Forever To Set Up And Makes His Opponents Look Like Idiots. Which is the official name, I believe. As far as transition or signature moves go, it is fine.
As a finisher? No. All of the no. Sure it looks painful, but any idea of wrestling reality goes out the window as Sami Zayn or Kalisto or whoever gormlessly stares up at Del Rio while presenting to him their chest. It is as convoluted as wrestling gets, and it needs to end yesterday.
Go back to breaking arms, Alberto.
