Second question, do finishing moves still exist? Like no one important won with a recognizable finishing move. Rhyno won with a spinebuster, Calisto won with a weak ass drop kick to the knees...the only finish move I can rememberwas the twist of fate. There were finishing moves done outside of matches, but it seemed off.

Third question, how does Titus O'Neil, Curt Hawking, that Slater fellow, the bullet club, Apolo Crews, and Calisto all still have jobs? They are all dreadfully boring and clearly not getting over. No one was excited to see them, and they just fill up an already bloated roster.

Fourth and final question, what the fuck is WWE think with these straight to begin bin/dumpster DVD cartoon released of the Undertaker meets Scooby-Doo or Big show vs the Jetsons? Seriously children young enough to be rooting for Roman Reigns, never saw the Flintstone.

Answer these questions, I don't really follow wrestling that much anymore.

Nah, heels still win all the time too. They have 16 ppvs a year iirc and yeah, Payback is a "b" show for the "Raw Brand" (SD has a separate roster).


They do -- the only ones I remember seeing last night were Seth Rollins new one, "The Kingslayer Knee". Roman Reigns finisher gets a lot of emphasis (Superman Punch & Spear) but other than Roman and Seth I would say Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose and Finn Balor have definitive finishers on the RAW brand (Sister Abigail, Dirty Deeds DDT and Coup De Grace). SD wrestlers might have more clear finishers (Orton w/ RKO, AJ w/ Phenomenal Forearm, Shinsuke w/ running knee, Kevin Owens with Pop-Up PowerBomb, Charlotte w/ Figure Eight Leg Lock).


They only do because WWE wants RAW and SD to have 'full rosters'.


They must be making money because WWE keeps releasing them. Whether kids or watching or the WWE's largest demographic (which is 35 and up, especially 50 and up) are buying them.
