WWE: 7 Finishing Moves That Should Be Resurrected

Picture your favorite WWE wrestler in action. Most likely, one of the first things you envisioned was that superstar hitting his or her finishing move on an opponent. A good finishing move sticks in your mind and can bring a crowd to its feet. When €œStone Cold€ Steve Austin hit the Stunner, people erupted into cheers. You see it today when Daniel Bryan hits the Knee Plus or Randy Orton drops someone with an RKO. But not all finishers are created equal. And with talent moving in and out of WWE over the years, some solid finishing moves have fallen by the wayside. These are moves that could either replace or augment finishers that superstars already use. There€™s no reason someone can€™t have a secondary finisher €“ in fact, it can help boost someone€™s profile if they have multiple ways of putting an opponent away. Although there are plenty of lethal moves on the indy circuit, let€™s focus on moves the WWE audience already would be familiar with. Otherwise, this could be a really lengthy list.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
