That's WWE's problem. If you watch puroresu, lucha libre or half of anything done in WCW, a lot of the time they ended mathches without the use of finishers. They would often use submissions on a heavily worked on body part, a desperation move during a series of near falls or a move with just as much impact as a finisher but is probably a counter to the opponent's finisher.

They keep/kept their matches interesting because they're not totally formulaic.
