Although The Miz is regularly heckled (by his own commentary team, no less) for being un-athletic or physically weak, he carries some rather effective aces up his sleeve. One of these is the Skull Crushing Finale, a full nelson facebuster that could spoil anyone’s movie star good looks.

The Miz can usually only hit the Skull Crushing Finale after excessive foul play or outside interference from Maryse, but when he does, it secures him the win more often than not. Very few men have kicked out of the move, and when they have, it has increased the dramatic potency of the match tenfold.

The Skull Crushing Finale is the ultimate heel finisher, a move that can be executed sneakily from behind, and can leave an otherwise dominant babyface feeling like their victory was stolen.
