WWE: 8 Pathetic Wrestling Finishers That Wouldn't Hurt A Fly

1. Cobra (Santino Marella)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHsdHKAUNrs Mick Foley's Mandible Claw is not only unhygienic (and a tad weird) but it also definitely paved the way for the Cobra. To call Santino a comic relief character seems harsh but when his finisher consists of him pulling a sock puppet from his singlet and putting it over his hand to strike his foe and defeat them... Well, it's hard to perceive it as a real threat, to be honest. But a real threat it is, in the WWE universe anyway. In fact, Santino won the Tag Team Titles back in 2010, finishing Justin Gabriel off with the Cobra. Luckily, Santino has enough charisma to just about pull the finisher off, especially within the already ridiculous setting of the WWE €“ but looking at it from a realist's perspective; the Cobra is as threatening as a feather duster. Of course, there are plenty more finishers out there that could be considered for this list. I'd wager that there's plenty that have been forgotten from decades ago (perhaps for the best!) just waiting to be unearthed and mocked. If you've ever wondered just how a certain finisher is supposed to win someone a match, leave your thoughts and criticisms in the comments below.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
