10 Worst Finishers In WWE Today
2. The STF
Right. Look at the picture above.
Now look at this picture:
It is infuriating.
John Cena knows how to properly apply his STF to make it look like it hurts. This is key to every professional wrestling hold and attack, much less the finishing move used by a man WWE has marketed in 2019 as the greatest of all time. Ideally, it should look like it hurts.
John Cena's STF all too often looks like it does not hurt. It looks like it doesn't hurt because, for whatever reason, he refuses to apply pressure, instead opting for the classic pro wrestling strategy of an intimate embrace. Let us, through the process of elimination, deduce why that is.
Is John Cena a forgetful man?
No. He is very fastidious when it comes to his house rules. He also maintains an intensely busy schedule. He isn't some bumbling oaf, despite what his dropkick might suggest.
Is John Cena under sponsor pressure to keep his act child-friendly?
Almost certainly, but he did also bludgeon Wade Barrett with several falling chairs at TLC 2010.
Is John Cena under instruction to do this, in order to provide fans with a visual of his pained, panic-stricken opponent?
Then press his gums into his throat, you dumb f*ck, because then we'd still see their eyes.
Is John Cena just a bit useless at the fundamentals?
Hey, if you have to ask the question...
The STF is the worst finisher in all of wrestling.
Actually, hold that thought...
