10 Small Changes That Would Improve WWE

5. Stop Kicking Out Of Finishers On Every PPV Match

Only Roman Reigns’ spear seems to always end a match. even the Undertaker's Tombstone isn’t protected anymore, so finishers seem meaningless in big matches unless someone hits two or three.

By that standard, a wrestler's finisher is both that and a setup move when it comes to big events. Except for Reigns, who also kicks out of everything.

It doesn't help that in some cases, a wrestler has three or four moves that look more devastating than their finisher (we're looking at you, Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin), in which case, why does anyone try to do anything to wear an opponent down other than just try their finisher repeatedly? Kind of like in a WWE video game where you can start a match with four or five finishers and just hit them on your friends repeatedly and win.

Then again, Brock Lesnar pretty much does that.
