30 Most Devastating Finishers (WWE Magazine)
 

I'm not sure which issue states this...I got it from somewhere else..anyhow, :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: check this out.

FU?!?!?! :wtf: :wtf:

Be glad the Leg Drop isn't #1.

what do you expect, its WWE magazine. They're gonna try to put over their current champion. Everyone knows its the Stunner by a landslide.

Why the fuck is the Masterlock on there!?

I wonder why the Olympic Slam didn't make the cut....

THE WEST COAST POP!?

Christ, what about the Rock Bottom or F5!?

The Masterlock? FU? Edge's Spear? Leg Drop?

No Jacknife Powerbomb? Jackhammer [Or Goldberg's Spear as opposed to Edge'] hmm alrighty ;o

At least the crossface got some love

GO2SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Perfectplex and the Texas Cloverleaf. :yes:

Atleast some of the classics made it in there. But most of the list is BS.

leg drop #5

That list is NOT Bob Backlund approved. Or else the Chickenwing would be higher.

Come on, man, it's never been broken. It must be devastating!

I do not remember these moves.

lol Sleeper Hold?

OMG, that's one of the most hilarious wrestling lists I've ever read. :rofl:

On that note, I would like to see what you guys would put as the top 10 most devastating finishers.

The Double Chickenwing was clearly robbed here. :mad:

<font color=white>Vince should employ you as the 'Official WWE fan'.</font>

He'd need to pay me to be that stupid full-time.

I bet the person who came up with that list was the same person who came up with the Rosie vs Trump match

The Stunner is the best finisher ever. Convincing, can come from almost out of no where, and the most over fucking move in the history of the industry. F5 gets notes for impressworthiness (see: Big Show) and Leg Drop for the sake of historically it has beaten a Who's Who over the past 30 years. I agree that Sweet Chin Music and Pedigree both deserve a place in the top ten, though I don't know that #2 & 3 are deserved. But hey, let's throw logic to the wind and put Cena and DX over everything else...kind of like their booking.

That list is missing the most devastating finisher of all

the ass punch!!!!

:nono:

The gorilla press slam? Are you fucking kidding me? They leave out the f5 and the angle slam, but keep the warriors finisher. Thats just wrong.

i always thought warrior's real finisher was the jumping splash and the gorilla press slam was just a set up. at least from the matches i remember watching.

Yeah, my friend showed me this after he bought the magazine just to see the list. Boy, was he disappointed but c'mon now it's Double Double E magazine!

At least Malenko and Benoit are getting some props in this godawful list.

IMO the F5 should be number 1.

And where's the Doomsday Device? The Last Ride?

If I would have to give a top 10 list, and keep in mind I'm doing this in kayfabe as if the compettition and seriousness of the move was "real"....

10.Olympic Slam
9. Tombstone
8. F5- Wasn't around long
7. Sweet Chin Music- Was devestating except when they'd claim "he didnt get all of it"
6. Rock Bottom- Was always a big thrill move with devestating effects, but in the later years became often kicked out of and merely a precursor to the Peoples Elbow.
5. Crippler Crossface, suprsingly has remained rarely broken
4. Pedigree- This move has seen pushes ended and dreams shattered for talent and fans alike.
3. Hogan leg drop
2. The Sharpshooter - at its time it was unbreakable and 100% matchender
1. Stone Cold Stunner

Go 2 SLEEEEEP!

They also left out the Canadian Destroyer, Vertabreaker, and Karma *A.K.A. Quad Tear of Doom*

So what?

It's clear that the point of the list isn't to put over guys who are suing WWE or workinf got the enemy. The list is fueled by currents with some classic ones thrown in for looks.

I was being enourmously sarcastic whan I said "I wonder why the Olympic Slam isn't on there..."

I wonder if the Anaconda Vice would be higher if Punk used the wrist manipulation version.

So... In other words, the list was pointless filler between articles about Cena being a bad ass marine and DX being super cool?

BAsically, I assumed the fact that it was on WWE.com would leave "pointless" and "filler" understood. ;)

I'm stunned the STFU didn't make the list.

Cena is just full of devastating moves, each more devastating than the last.

In fact, he could dominate the top ten, if only he had ten moves.

Let's see...

FU
Five Knuckle Shuffle
Proto-bomb
Throwback
STFU

Holy shit I really can't think of any other regular Cena moves...

The 'punch'
The 'pumping his shoes up'
Flying shoulder barge

Nearly there.

Does he even pump his shoes up anymore? That may have to be stricken from the list.

Goosestepping-like Hulk-up

One more! :shifty:

I know he's a "producer" for the WWE now, but was anyone else surprised as fuck when they saw the words "Texas Cloverleaf" and "Dean Malenko" on a WWE-created list, without the words "Light Heavyweight" somewhere in there?

Chris Benoit got some love, too. :y:

What a joke. This is WWE right? How the hell did they leave the "Roll Up" off the list?

I laugh at people who buy WWE magazines.

Okay, my 10, in no real order

Sweet Chin Music
Cross Face Chicken Wing
The Last Ride
F5
The Liontamer
Clothesline From Hell
Pepsi Plunge
Randy Savage's Elbow
Vertabreaker
VanDaminator

For some reason, Sweet Chin Music is one finisher I never get sick of.

So how about someone with more free time starts a "Greatest Finisher" poll/thread?

You don't get much more straightforward than a kick to the head. It's gotta be up on my top five at the very least.

I'm upset that D-Lo Brown's REAL frogsplash never made it.

Especially with the chest guard.

Thats got to be the most lethal combination of two moves ever used by a wrestler.

His Fisherman Suplex Pin move is one he uses pretty regularly.

Does the "Soldier Salute" count?

But his version is not a pin?

The 'looking like a retard when coming out the curtain'.

How a lame ass standing fireman's carry (the so-homo-ly named "F-U") is more devastating than Brock Lesnar's F5, The Rock's Rock Bottom, Kevin Thorn's Stunner-variation, Paul London or Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press, or even Test's new Test Drive move is way too far beyond my ordinary levels of fucking comprehension.

Piper's old man Sleeper Hold is move devastating than an F5? Fuck you, WWE.

Those who follow a company most frequently headed by a man who finishes off other guys by "Stroking" them should not throw stones.

God that salute is gay

Don't you mock Cena mocking the military, dammit!

WHERE IS THE WORM ON THIS LIST?????

I demand a recount!

Don't you mock Skippord mocking Cena Mocking..I'm lost...DAMMIT!

Who cares? It's only WWE. Why are you guys so shocked?

Okay. But TNA rated Petey Williams' "Canadian Destroyer" as the most devastating finisher of 2006. They're not going to bullshit their fans and try to convince them that a reverse russian leg sweep is more devastating than a front flip piledriver. That would insult our intelligence as fans.

But WWE doesn't have that kind of tact. FU over the F5. Fuck all.

The Stroke's been up there on every countdown I've seen. It's not #1, but that's still bullshit.

This is true, it is bullshit, but at least it's not #1, and at least they give props to Petey's Candian Destroyer over the lame ass Stroke.

I can easily think of 5 or 6 finishers currently used by WWE Superstars that didn't even make the list that are far more impressive than the fucking F-U.

In reality, did we expect them to put someone else's finisher over Cena's?

Answer: no.

I'm suprised they didnt put Batista higher since he is their other golden boy.

Where is the RUDE AWAKENING ??

That was the most devestateing neckbreaker till this day. Not to mention it was perfectly executed 100% of the time

what a shame....

all five of them

*Thinks: :nono: most overused joke in the book

Even TNA's doing it. They're pushing the people they wanted to push. They've always hyped the Canadian Destroyer as badass, so it'll be highly ranked.

I don't see the Canadian Destroyer being that noteworthy. It's more show than anything.

I think the simpler, yet effective moves are much better than ones that require a lot of effort.

Finishers like the Ace Crusher variations (Stunner, Diamond Cutter), The Rude Awakening, The Pediguree, Sweet Chin Music, and even the Tombstone are true great finishing moves.

Here are my Top 30 in no order...

Ace Crusher variations (I'm just grouping them togehter since they are all so similar)
Cripple Crossface
Sweet Chin Music
Pedigree
Tombstone Piledriver
Rock Bottom
Figure Four Leglock
Superfly Splash
The DDT
Great Muta's Moonsault
Sharpshooter
Liontamer
Texas Cloverleaf
F-5
Jackknife Powerbomb
Five Star Frogsplash
Piledriver
Chokeslam
Alabama Jam
Perfect Plex
Death Valley Driver
Tazmission
Angle Slam
Muscle Buster
Flying Elbow Drop
Rude Awakening
Boss Man Slam
Brainbuster
Jackhammer
Razor's Edge

I'd also like to add that the POOOOOOOOUNCE was one of the top rated finishing moves before Brown left TNA.

So I mean, having one useful finisher (KoOS may be right not to like it, but I do, honestly) in your top five hardly vindicates you from having two finishers that make the Worm look deadly...

Already posted Go 2 Sleep.

Burning Hammer is sickkkkkkkkk.

So no one is showing the Fameasser any love?

To be honest, I completely forgot about the Fameasser. Great finisher. It was never the Stunner or the Rock Bottom, but it was really cool looking.

Next you'll be saying the Pump-Handle Slam should be in there.

I liked the fameasser.

Liontamer
Vertabraker
Tombstone
Sharpshooter

My favorite is Chris Candido's Blode Bombshell (Modified Superbomb), that move is sicker than the canadian destoryer and the burning hammer.

Liontamer? That weak "Modified Walls of Jericho?"

Vertabreaker? A modified inverted back-to back DDT

Modified Superbomb? Clearly just a modified Supernbomb. :roll:

I don't see the point of your post.

Some sand in your vagina or what?

I think it's some of that hip jive those funky fresh kids today call "satire."

That was radd, critic.

But yes, you've caught on to something that escaped our single-celled friend. It was a joke. Especially the last one.
