Devastating Finishing Moves Thread
 

which finishing moves do you guys think are the most effective and painful?

and also

The Cobra

Think about it...Santino barely hits it, but when he does, it's devastating.

I'll bite... Canadian destroyer was badass...

I guarantee you will never... EEEEEEEEEEEVERRRR see this in the WWE.

In the context of the thread, yeah but both of these can pretty much fuck off also. Fucking Japs and their head droppos.

And rightly so.

Actually, Scott did that move in WWE around 1993.

The Finger poke of Doom by Hollywood Hogan

Come on, it was so devastating it has only been used once.

Somaon Spike

Rocker Dropper

The Widow's Peak and the Vertebreaker are the best finishers of all time.

Orange Crush

Please tell me you're not talking about the Misawa/Kawada spot...

Taking a powerbomb from Brock Lesnar is painful and devastating:

But seriously, taking the Alabama Slam doesn't look like fun:

And to add to the "fuck head drops" theme, here's a Homicide Backdrop from Dr. Death

Bingo!!!

Ugh. To each there own, but I hate that as a "move." It was awesome originally as it was a reversal spot (KAwada goes for the powerbomb, Misawa tries to counter with the frankensteiner, Kawada counters with the ganso bomb), but I hated the two subsequent ones where he did it as a move.

Also, he's never ended a match with it.

I don't know, I just have a distaste for a lot of head dropping moves.

Western Lariat and Oklahoma Stampede!!!

He looks like Angle in a wig. Seriously, even his face.

Burning Hammer
Avalache Exploder to floor

I'm a fan of the classics, so -

Mr. Perfect wasn't going to drop you on your skull with it, he wasn't going to give you a concussion with it, he wasn't even gonna break your arm with it...

But he was gonna pin you & win the match with it. :eek:

Another one I like is Kofi's Trouble in Paradise, it's not much more than a kick to the head, but it's one of those great finishers that take little-to-no setup & still look like they could end a match. If I can buy Orton Punting guys & putting them in the hospital for months, I can buy the TIP knocking them loopy for 3 seconds so Kofi can score the pin.

God, now I'm imagining a vocaloid themed wrestler...

I think the perfect-plex is a good choice for its effective simplicity, but I can't say the same for the trouble in paradise. For me Kofi's s.o.s. seems to do more damage.

seriously, that's the only really good Perfectplex vid on youtube, as for seeing the move. Everything else is either Curt looks too young & hadn't perfected it yet, or Hogan or somebody "hulking up" & breaking it.

:lol:

Tazzplex, Jackknife Powerbomb, Emerald Fusion....

But my favorite ever, the Black Dragon DDT. I think that was the name of it. Whatever, it was the spinning brainbuster DDT. Fucking Ridiculous.
