16 Best Wrestling Finishers Of All Time

8. Stan Hansen/Kenta Kobashi/Satoshi Kojima/JBL - The Lariat

When it comes to sheer brutality and stiffness, there are few moves in wrestling more effective than the lariat. It's one of the oldest yet most widely used move in all of professional wrestling, yet the four wrestlers in that heading are among the most prolific users of the Lariat, and have delivered some of the stiffest attacks in wrestling history. First, we have Bradshaw, who has become infamous for being a stiff wrestler in general, and delivering some of the most painful-looking lariats in WWE history. Then, we have Satoshi Kojima, whose €˜Cozy Lariat€™ is anything but; he delivers the move with a brutality that few other wrestlers can match. Then there€™s Kenta Kobashi, a legendary wrestler whose Burning Lariat was been his go-to finisher for well over a decade, and he too tends to wield it as though he€™s trying to rip his opponent€™s head off with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Iyul69NjbA Finally, there€™s Stan Hansen, who was nicknamed €˜the Lariat€™ and who trained Kojima. Hansen was said to be notoriously stiff in the ring, due in part to his poor eyesight, and thus his Western Lariat is widely considered to be the stiffest attack in wrestling history. Considering how brutal his matches have been in the past, one would be inclined to think that were true.
