10 Worst Finishers In WWE Today
4. The Big Ending
Wrestling is so ridden with plot holes that we tend to just ignore them. Some of them.
We all add our subjective takes on a pro wrestling context that nobody has or can objectively define, and this definitely doesn't result in interminable philosophical debates.
And yet, it is difficult to approach Big E's Big Ending through any of these subjective lenses. Big E, in the process of hitting the move, voluntarily takes a flat back bump, which would be fine because the suplex, but there is so little impact absorbed by the opponent that it only invites scrutiny. Now, what brief impact exists is absorbed by the stomach - so presumably, the idea is to wind the opponent to render their chances of kicking out slim. If you can't breathe, you can't move. If somebody were to punch you full force in the gut, there's little chance that you will theatrically kick out your legs after 2.9 seconds, and less chance of the person punching you clasping their hands over their head in disbelief.
If anything, Big E's arm, which he needs to put somewhere, seems to cushion the blow somewhat. So, this move essentially accomplishes nothing, aside perhaps from a sore back...by the wrestler who delivers it.
The electric chair drop begins with an 'E', which as we've established is all that matters, so he should just use that.
