Hate how like 472 guys use a similar uranage/spinebuster variation or some STO or facebuster shit that all looks alike.
Gotta bring back some hot moves from the past. Randy Orton sucked dick before he started using the diamond cutter. But nobody gives a shit that he's not that good now because we all pop for the RKO.
So yeah pick some old moves you wanna see back and give it to a guy to use.

I was wondering earlier what the statute is on finishers? Like when can a new guy start busting out a Superkick (not in ROH) or the Rock Bottom?
And no more downward spiral/complete shot/mic checks
The Jackhammer would be nice for a guy like Mason Ryan. But not Mason Ryan because he's green as shit.
A variation of a DDT. (Not the Pedigree.)
Triple Germans. And really any nice throw Suplex.
A smaller guy could use the Dudley Dog/Acid Drop.
I don't see why they couldn't give a Piledriver to someone. If Taker's allowed to do the Tombstone, one person should be allowed to do the regular Piledriver. And it's been long enough banned that it'd be considered a devastating finisher again.
I guess it's too early for someone to get a Superkick, but down the line (a few years) it'd be nice.
If Nash weren't associated with WWE, I'd say the Jackknife.
There's a shitload of submission finishers that could be resurrected as finishers. Texas Cloverleaf, Dragon Sleeper, Crossface Chickenwing, Figure Four.
Some resurrections of moves I've enjoyed of late are the Razor's Edge (Celtic Cross) for Sheamus and the sleeper for Ziggler.

Tbh, I would totally mark out if someone started using the torture rack.
This one would probably be tough, but the mandible claw (sans Mr. Socko) would be interesting. Also the pumphandle slam.
The Dominator is criminally underused.
Zeke needs to use the Pearl River Plunge.

Haven't they banned most of these moves? Most of the piledrivers and suplexes from a few years ago can't really be utilized anymore I thought.
Rings of Saturn is a move I haven't seen done in a long time. The Buff Blockbuster.
I'd love to see someone start using the Diamond Dust as a finisher. Since it's highly unlikely that Masato Tanaka will ever sign with WWE, someone else might as well jack his finisher.
I also think the F5 should make a comeback. I'd say Mason Ryan should start using it, but he's green as fuck and would probably kill someone.
Torture Rack should be brought back, and someone should start using the Flying Elbow Drop from the top rope as a legit finisher, since HBK isn't around anymore to use it as one of his signature moves.
Shining Wizard was also a nice finisher that was used by Hurricane Helms for awhile. I wouldn't mind seeing someone else pick it up.

Question related to this thread (sorta):
I posted "pile driver" as my answer. I know it is a banned move. How is it that Undertaker can use the Tombstone?
If Taker can use a variation of the pile driver then someone else should be creative and also use a variation of it as well.
I miss Jerry Lawlers "pencil" pile driver. It looked awesome when he did it.
My favorite finisher right now is GTS. I would also like to see the F5 return..Mason Ryan may kill someone with it, though.

You know what else they need? Special/modified finishers for big matches. WWE needs to take a lesson from puroresu or indy wrestling on this one. Nothing big, nothing used very often, but just something for big matches when the guy kicks out of the "normal" finisher.
Misawa had the Tiger Driver 91, Jun Akiyama had the wrist clutch exploder, CIMA has his redline/wrist clutch Schwien, etc.
For example, I'd love to see a John Cena main event where someone like the Miz kicks out of the AA, so Cena hoists him back up, but instead does a sort of AA into a sit down slam pin combo (he did it a few times in the past.) Just a simple alteration of his finisher that would look more devastating, and would be great for big matches.
Same idea with the leaping tombstone Taker did to HBK, or to a lesser extent, Orton's punt kick.
Ermaximus
05-18-2011, 03:38 PM
I'd love to see Dibiase say fuck the Dream Street and start using the Million Dollar Dream like his dad did.
Yoshi Tatsu should start using the Tarantula and the Buzzsaw Kick like Tajiri used to.
Since Rey already used it once, he should start doing the Poison Mist to set up the 619 from now on.
Punk should start using the Stunner to further his "fued" with Austin. Use it as a way to mock him.
Zeke really should use the PRP as Xero stated.
If anyone starts using a Superkick, it should be either Morrison or Slater.
Would love to see Ryder or Hawkins bust out the Vertibreaker also.

Also, Cena has the Super FU/AA and Orton has the Super RKO.
I do agree with your post. Also, I'd like to see them move away from finishers being the end all in every match in general. Obviously some matches should end in a finisher, but guys should have four or five signatures that COULD end the match in addition to the big finishers. That's rarely the case. Usually guys have one or two moves that could end the match and the rest are just wear down moves or moves that lead to the finisher.
For example, Orton has the neck/back breaker, the suspended DDT, the RKO and the Punt. All of them should be able to end a match, but it's always the Punt or the RKO.
It'd make things more unpredictable and more exciting. In WWE especially, you can pretty much always tell when a near fall is going to be a near fall and not end the match. If you add in more signatures that do end matches on a regular basis it adds to the matches.

I think that Mason guy in Nexus did the Bulldog Slam recently right? I wonder if he will do this all the time...
It doesn't matter how many signatures and so on you throw in, build etc, the "educated" will always have half an idea when something is going to finish a match or not, that's just how wrestling works and how it should work. It's the truly gifted guys that take the analysing and guessing away and allow said "educated" fan to get caught up and carried away with the match.

Have you stopped to think that it's called the 'Batista Bomb' because it's a move specific to him?. In that it's his variation of the 'classic' sit out powerbomb?

Fair point but the only difference between a "classic" sitout powerbomb and the Batista Bomb is that he never goes for the sitout pin (he'll get up then go for the cover) and that he always looks like he's gonna pull his groin when he sits out. But to each their own.
(Example of a really good WWE sitout powerbomb: Matt Morgan on Chris Benoit at the 2004 Royal Rumble.)

It's pretty funny - a lot of the moves in this thread are actually used by one or more active guys today. Just saying.
In his feud with Randy Orton, especially if he becomes a heel, I'd like to see Christian start using the Diamond Cutter. It could sort of be like his "sneaky" answer to the RKO for newer fans. The Killswitch is all well and good, but it takes ages to set-up, and while he shouldn't scrap it, I like it when guys have multiple ways they can win a match. Christian also used the Texas Cloverleaf for a bit, too. I wouldn't mind seeing him use that. Or give it to someone like Darren Young, who could use it.
Layla uses the Diamond Dust, but I wouldn't mind seeing a babyface like Yoshi Tatsu bust it out. Even a guy like JTG could benefit from that move.
Chris Masters should really get a move that can get him pinfall wins. I don't want to take the easy route and say Full Nelson Slam, either. He has used the Jackhammer in the past, but I think a Tiger Driver could be great for him. Also, Masters uses the "Rydeen Bomb," as someone mentioned. And so does Ted DiBiase. And Titus O'Neil.
I'd mark out if Cody Rhodes started using the Cross Rhodes as a set-up to some sort of neck-based submission hold. The Rings of Saturn, perhaps? He's used a Figure Four in the past, too.
John Morrison could start using the Superkick as an "out of nowhere" move to finish matches, or to just set-up for the Starship Pain. For some reason, I could see Drew McIntyre doing a pretty nifty superkick, too. I don't want to see him using it every match, but it could be one of those great "WHOA SHIT!" out of nowhere moves. And I do have to give kudos to R-Truth - he's the first guy to make me care about the Paydirt/Play of the Day/Truth Hurts/Token Black Finish (as someone else in Tipsters has noticed) in a long time. I actually think his suplex into a Stunner move could be a good finish for him, though. Coolest looking move R-Truth has.
And the F5 should definitely make a return. Mason Ryan seems like the obvious choice, I guess. But maybe there is someone else? Maybe keep it saved? But Ryan's finishing moves at present are pretty underwhelming. I've never been able to get behind the Boss Man Slam, sorry. Kong should also use her Sit-Down Powerbomb. It looks vicious when she does it on a tiny girl.

What Would Kevin Do?

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I haven't seen Santino wrestle in 4ever.
Yeah, he's used it as a set up for the Cobra a few times.The only difference is that instead of dropping down to his ass, he does the spits.

Yeah that was pretty sick.
That move and the pyro made me think Drew was finally getting his push back.

That and he divorced Tiffany. Could be the smartest thing he's done.

I also miss when guys would do their rival's finisher to mock them.

Big Zeke needs to steal the Pounce, pretty sure he did something similiar already in the last couple weeks.

This happens all the time man.
I feel like the F-5 is a good move but Lesnar got real sloppy with it just like Cena does the F-U, The Death Valley Driver when done well is so much better than the F-U, I'd love to see him pull out a strong style version against Miz to finish him off.
The Buff Blockbuster is a fantastic move that a newbie should steal, I always found that one exciting.
Also they should give a crappy new guy the steel plate gimmick that Luger had, except maybe change it up to his knee.
WWE never uses high angle neck drops but if they did, The Stalling Brainbuster that Tajiri uses is sick when done well.
It would be bad ass if WWE found themselves a choke out artist whose gimmick was exactly that, he can choke you from anywhere at anytime.
Also someone in WWE should steal Joe's muscle buster as that move is the shit.
Also if WWE gets a real talented young guy, strap him with the figure four, obvious parallels could work well for a charismatic talented youngster.

See Taker vs Trips and one of the best Tombstone piledrivers in tombstone piledriver history at Wrestlemania.

By the way the majority of submissions listed in this thread fucking suck. Rings of Saturn is a good stretch but come on a finish? I'd like somebody to put in that just to warm up. The only submissions that are any good are in MMA. There are a few exceptions as pro wresting has some good ones like the variations on the Boston Crab or the Camel Clutch, or even the figure four. Those all hurt real bad although some are a little unrealistic but it's fake so we can get over that. Nobody will tap me with an STF are fucking kidding? SCORPION ARM LOCK? Suck my dick and swallow the cum cause that's the only way your gonna get me to buy that.
lol I think you're underestimating the STF because of Cena. You let somebody with a stretching background tie you up, somebody that knows a few pressure points and I'm pretty sure you'll change your mind. That Scorpion Arm Lock is pretty ridiculous though, one of those 'doing something for the sake of doing it as opposed to it actually making any sense' that quite a few guys are fond of doing.
