10 Worst Finishers In WWE Today
1. The Lightning Fist
If you think this is all a mere excuse to bury John Cena, you'd be half-right. This isn't blinkered hatred; if Cena busted out a Ganso bomb last year, after promising to unleash a new "Sixth Move of Doom", we'd have popped our t*ts off. The problem is that Cena didn't bust out a Ganso bomb.
John Cena busted out the Lightning Fist.
The move serves Cena's latter-day wrestling character, at least. This is very much the move of a pro wrestler who has dropped any and all pretence of giving a single toss. It is something he devised on a film set in China for, you have to expect, "the banter". It is as goofy as it is transparently ineffective, and already, your eyes are rolling. It's funny! you might say.
People laugh at this. This is John Cena's "I'm mad, me!" moment.
Some people find it mildly amusing when Cena does his stupid kung fu crossed arms pose, and drops his opponents with a single closed fist, the likes of which, in pro wrestling canon, is something you can do multiple times to an opponent, and they will respond by throwing their head in a backwards motion, as if on a spring. Big Show's KO punch exposes this, but it's just about fine, because he is absolutely massive.
John Cena is not small, but when he hits a clothesline, his opponents tend to leap back into life instantaneously. When he hits one tame punch, that's it. Match over.
We're not saying Cena is a bad pro wrestler...but he does use the three worst finishers ever.
