10 Wrestlers Who Desperately Need New Finishers
5. Bobby Roode
Current Finisher: The Glorious DDT. Similar to Edge's old move, Edgecution.
Why It Needs Changed: Jinder Mahal might need to make room for two at that drawing board, because one Bobby Roode will be picking up a permanent marker himself. His Glorious DDT, though straightforward, is super-uninspired, and (worse) it relies on the person taking it to throw themselves up into the air.
Contrast this with Jake Roberts' old drop-down approach to the DDT, or how Dean Ambrose hooks both arms for maximum whiplash effect, and the picture becomes clearer; Roode's Impaler-style move is an entry-level DDT, one that didn't work for Edge before him and needs to be changed now.
And we mean now.
It's little more than an excuse for him to hit something quickly, which would be fine if the bump had any impact. It doesn't, and it's not flashy enough either. Someone of Roode's talent deserves better than this run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter finisher.
