Moves you wish they'd bring back/make finishers again?

[Xero]

What moves do you wish they would bring back, or make finishers again instead of just common moves?

I have to say that, even though it wasn't a "legal" move, Bret Hart's Figure Four on the ring post was awesome. It just looked great. Same with the Sharpshooter, although I think he only used that once.

[Innovator]

the DDT

[Stickman]

Piledriver
Powerbomb
Submissions that nobody breaks.

[Arnold HamNegger]

Let RVD do the Van Terminator.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He only used the Sharpshooter once?

[LoDownM]

Vertabreaker.

Or let Booker do the spinaroonie the way he did it back in WCW as his 2nd wind thing.

[Crippla]

Piledriver has gotta be the top one for me and the Vertebreaker as well.

[Innovator]

If you want the Vertabreaker, watch ROH or TNA and look at Homicide dropping people on their head

[Jura]

Shooting Star Press - Billy Kidman
Frankensteiner [Standing & Top Rope]

[Arnold HamNegger]

If we're gonna have to sit through things like a full nelson for a finisher, I'd like to see them give Masters (or someone) a variation of a full nelson or torture rack into a sit down power bomb.

[Stickman]

Torture rack was awesome!

[Pepsi Man]

Vertabreaker.

Or let Booker do the spinaroonie the way he did it back in WCW as his 2nd wind thing.
Yeah, before Mark Madden, that didn't even have a name.

[Xero]

Yeah, before Mark Madden, that didn't even have a name.
Imagine, if they didn't name it until he got to the WWF it would have been called the "BBQ ROTISSERIE SPIN".

[Jura]

I was just thinking about the Torture Rack! I used to do it to everyone I could find.

[NeanderCarl]

The DDT as a finisher.

Jake Roberts was about the only guy (with the possible exception of Arn Anderson) who could make that move look absolutely devastating. Like he says himself, the fact that it is used now as a set-up move just makes Jake look even better, because when Jake hit it, nobody got up.

[My Final Heaven]

Scorpion Death Drop & Perfectplex

[FourFifty]

The Crossface Chickenwing

[Skippord]

That Oleg Prudus guy apparently uses a torture rack for his finisher

[The Optimist]

Shooting Star Press.

I mark out so hard everytime I see that move. One of the thousands of reasons I love Kidman.

[Caged Heat18]

I miss the piledriver.

[FourFifty]

...I can't believe I haven't pointed it out yet....

What about Raven?

[Fox]

I'd love to see someone start using Diamond Dust as their finisher.

[SuperSlim]

there is still the off brand version of it in the RKO

[Xero]

That's the Diamond Cutter. I believe (not 100% sure) that the Diamond Dust is a flip-over Stunner.

[Kane Knight]

Vertabreaker.


I'd also like to see the Tarantula.

[NeanderCarl]

What about Raven?

Yeah Raven's DDT isn't bad. I don't remember the last time I saw him win a match with it, though.

[redoneja]

Rude Awakening

[Pepsi Man]

Well, when was the last time you saw him win a match?

[NeanderCarl]

A long time ago. And even then I don't think the DDT played a factor.

[El Fangel]

Anything that looks like a finisher.

[Crimson]

Rude Awakening


Yesss, I remember thinking how killer that move looked. Similiar to the DDT, in that everyone uses it now as a setup move.

I liked the old walls of jericho with the knee in the back too.

[Jeritron]

I wish they let Jericho do the walls of jericho the correct way instead of just a normal crab after the whole HHH thing.

[Jeritron]

thats strange haha, exact same time we posted that

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Texas Cloverleaf.
Jericho Spike.
Kidman's/Jacobs' modded pedigree/unprettier.

[Juan]

The Stone Cold Stunner

[NeanderCarl]

Ghetto Blaster

[Destor]

Pheonix Splash (I just want someone in the WWE to do it.)

[Vastardikai]

Heart Punch
Iron Claw
Sleeper
Garvin Stomp

:Shifty:

Seriously, gotta go with the Burning Hammer (especially if used on K-Fed)

[El Fangel]

I would mark out like crazy to see a perfectly executed shooting star again.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I would mark out like crazy to see a perfectly executed shooting star again.

Watch ROH, specifically Matt Sydal.

[FourFifty]

Pepsi Plunge!

But how about a little Shake, Rattle, and Roll?

[Destor]

Listen to Kev. Especially to the first part of his statement.

[Stickman]

I love how the table broke.

[Jeritron]

I never saw Shane try that shooting star press on Angle, pissed I missed that match. I honestly would rather see Shane wrestle than half the guys on the WWE roster...

[Crippla]

Didn't Vince ban the 450 Splash too?

[James Steele]

I never saw Shane try that shooting star press on Angle, pissed I missed that match. I honestly would rather see Shane wrestle than half the guys on the WWE roster...

I think that's why Shane will make the WWE better than ever if he takes over when Vinnie dies. He understands the new style of wrestling a lot better than Vince.

[owenbrown]

Texas Cloverleaf.

:y:


and on a side note.... I still cringe a little every time I see that botched Shooting Star Press Brock Lesnar did on Kurt Angle at WM XIX. How he didn't break his neck or kill himself is shocking.

[Blitz]

I remember seeing Jody Fleisch try a Shooting Star Piledriver. Don't think he got all of it tho.

[NeanderCarl]

Garvin Stomp = Maybe the worst finisher ever.

I mean, I'm all for suspending disbelief (and that's been done to death in the Future Of Submissions thread) but that took the biscuit. Why would his opponents just lie there and take it while Garvin slowly trod on various parts of their body?

[Shadow]

Did I see a...Shooting Star DDT?

[The Fugitive]

Give me a second and I'll upload it.
