https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlywXct4hq4 You gotta BOLIEVE that Bo Dallas can find something better than a running Bo Dog as his finisher. It's an awkward, and kind of complicated move perform without a visually appealing payoff. Bo has to kick off the second rope, then the top rope, and then spin his opponent around into the mat. In theory, this would probably hurt quite a bit, but it's often quite clunky. The move is probably most fondly remembered as a finisher of Trish Stratus a few years ago.
76. Xavier Woods: Lost In The Woods
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okOik6ax8qQ Woods doesn't really use this move as his finisher in The New Day, but it's the last one he used consistently to win matches. Over in TNA, Gail Kimm has been using her version called Eat Defeat, but it's just not that good no matter who does it. Lost in the Woods is an awkward set up, which requires the person delivering the move to basically throw themselves to the mat and somehow hope the person's arm your grabbing lands right into your foot. It also doesn't look like it would actually knock you out either. With Woods going for his PhD in real life, maybe he could take a free weekend and study a new finisher.
75. Bull Dempsey: Whoopee Cushion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvfJ5ttyY0M Okay, so Bull's most recent finisher isn't actually called The Whoopee Cushion, but until he gives it a name, we'll just go with what Doink called it! Having a large dude jump off the top of the ring ropes, and landing on your chest would have a high chance of knocking the wind out of you at the very least, and could potentially break a few ribs. It's a good thing he makes sure to land on his feet! It's not pretty, but it works for the often troubled character.
74. Brie Bella: Bella Buster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uurnqigZXNI Jumping up a foot into the air, grabbing your opponents' head, and slamming it down into the mat while landing on your butt seems to be one of the easiest finishing moves one could pull off. It requires no strength, and very little coordination. Yet Brie Bella can almost never make The Bella Buster look good. She needs to have a chat with X-Pac on how to do the move correctly. Fun note: This is one of the few wrestling finishers you can give yourself. Simply trip, and fall on your face. You just got Bella Bustere'd!
73. Alexa Bliss: Sparkle Splash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsrsTapBrt0 Well, you could certainly argue that the Sparkle Splash is the dumbest sounding finishing move in WWE, but it's certainly not the worst. Whatever just happened to a good old fashioned Moonsault as a finisher? Lita, The Great Muta, Hugh Morrus and Ultimo Dragon all used one at times. Bliss doesn't quite go all in on a Moonsault, and instead does like a half-version (though quite a bit safer), which ends up looking half as cool.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
