16 Classic WWE Finishers That Can't Win A Match In 2015

12. Bulldog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVUUVfYd9Ng Used To Deadly Effect By: Barry Windham, Kendall Windham, Dustin Rhodes, Dan Spivey, Scott Hall You may have noticed that most of the guys who used the bulldog as a finisher worked some form of cowboy gimmick (get familiar with Scott Hall€™s pornstache/fringe vest period). That€™s because the bulldog takedown has its origins in the grand American tradition of steer wrestling, where it is used to drag a literal ton of angry mammal flesh to the ground, so of course you can€™t use it to disable a two hundred pound dude for three seconds. Maybe it€™s the horns? Perhaps it would work on Mantaur or Jushin Liger or like the antlered OVW version of the Boogeyman. Springboard bulldogs can still be reasonably effective finishers, as Bo Dallas, Trish Stratus, and Spike Dudley can all attest. Uh, except that Trish and Spike are mostly retired, and Bo Dallas never actually wins.
