16 Best Wrestling Finishers Of All Time

Just like a wrestler€™s name, attire and gimmick, each professional wrestler needs a finishing move to help distinguish them from one another. Some wrestlers use a painful-looking submission hold to make their opponents tap out, while others use an impressive aerial maneuver off the top rope, while others still use either a powerful strike attack or a powerful-looking grapple move. In the last thirty years or so, wrestling has undergone a surge in innovation, as wrestlers from all around the world have created a wide variety of different wrestling maneuvers. Some moves are simple in their execution yet devastating in their delivery, while others are extremely dangerous, but the payoff at the end of the match is well worth the risk. This article will look at the best wrestling finishers that fall into those latter three categories; this author has already discussed the 10 most devastating submission holds. The moves are ranked based on how well-received they have been by the wrestling community, how successful they have been for their users, and look like they cause legitimate pain and injury. Though some of them might look easy to use, and might also be very popular among wrestling enthusiasts who want to try them out for themselves, you don€™t want to be trying these moves yourselves; best leave them to the professionals.
