10 WWE Superstars Who Gambled On A Brand New Finisher
8. The Big Show
For virtually all of his remarkably short career, The Big Show had utilised a chokeslam as a finisher because it made the most sense.
As a rookie, it required his opponent do a lot of work for the good of getting across an easy visual. As an established presence, it made the most of his mammoth size and circus strength - the biggest man making every single opponent look like tiny irritants in his presence.
Then, faced with a boxer to fight at WrestleMania 24, Show embraced the power of the punch.
Built to tease that he had just as much chance of knocking Floyd Mayweather out as the undefeated lightweight did of doing the same to him, Show swung a right at Chris Jericho on a March 2008 edition of Raw that left him as good as dead. He'd use the move with increasing regularity later that year, with even The Undertaker falling at the "typewriter"-sized fist of the 7-footer until the move became part of his regular rotation.
He's not returned to his faithful old chokeslam since.
