GTS is awesome. I'd be very happy if Wade Barrett adopted the F5. It's time somebody brought that incredible move back.

The play maker looks stupid because MVP falls face-first into the mat while the other guy falls, what, 2 feet onto his back with little impact?
Also Kofi's new move where he 'DDTs himself' is a bit weak and hard to buy into. |

I'm surprised no one has said anything about Otunga's finisher. I don't know if he's trying to be like Ron Simmons, but his modified spine buster/choke/whatever the fuck he's doing just hasn't looked impressive to me.

Here is my list: Honourable Mention: Chavo Guerrero's Frog Splash I am one of the biggest marks on here, but even I have to admit that the Frog Splash looks awkward when he does it. He's gotten a lot better at it, and I don't mind him occasionally using it when he sets up for it nicely (like with the three amigos culminating in his old Brainbuster finisher), but I'd like to see Chavo use something else. Bring back the Gory Bomb for smaller opponents. 5) The Masterlock I actually really like Chris Masters. He has turned into quite a good worker, and I find his face persona quite likeable. The Full Nelson itself is not a bad move, and Masters' history has led to The Masterlock being a good occasional finish to pop the crowd. But basically it's been the guy's only move for so many years, and he just cannot seem to get it locked in anymore and it has lost a lot of its luster. So basically, the booking of the move is why I consider it so lame -- get a new trick, Chris. 4) The Play of the Day It's Shelton Benjamin's Paydirt done without the same effect. MVP almost looks like he takes himself out with the move. The best finisher MVP has used has been The Drive-By (his kick-off the guy's knee followed into the player boot). But even that was cooler when it was mid-match against a guy like Batista. If MVP used the Play of the Day into some sort of submission hold, I would buy it a lot more. 3) Da Shout Out JTG's mug-shot is much cooler than Da Shout Out, which is essentially him floating around an opponent into a reverse bulldog. It's a good comeback move, but other than that it's just got no wind. The impact doesn't seem like a pay-off. JTG is such an innovator that I am sure he could come up with something much better in like five seconds. 2) The Cobra Obviously this is for comedy, and I'd have no problem with Santino using it mid-match as an insult-to-injury type move -- but as a legitimate finisher? No, thank you. 1) The Killswitch...nah, just kidding -- The Lie Detector Why R-Truth does a sweet suplex into a stunner only to then finish a match with a corkscrew forearm confuses me. I guess it's meant to pop the crowd, or something. It'd even be better if Truth used The Hat Rack Crack to set up for a Scissors Kick. |

Isn't the Pele Kick a set up move? I like the move either way, but are we only focusing on finishing moves? How many victories has AJ Styles gotten with the kick?
I will add to the list of moves by saying whatever Darren Young's finisher is. I also never really liked Reno's Roll the Dice. That was later stolen by Goldberg and the Test Drive. It just looked just like he flipped a guy over. Kindof like saying jumping off the top rope, and turning to from the back to the front is a moonsault. |

Kozlov's finish is actually pretty shitty looking, compared to a basic spinebuster it looks piss weak (unless of course it's delivered by Otunga), but Heath Slater's zig-zag rip off is possibly the worst since he's doing a weaker version of an already weak finish. It probably doesn't help that I fucking hate Heath Slater. My top 5 worst finishers: 1. Heath Slater's "Ginge-Gag" 2. Otunga's "Spinebuster" 3. R-Truth's "Lie Detector" 4. Rey Mysterio's "619" 5. Vladimir Kozlov's "Iron Curtain" |

The problem with the GTS isn't the move, it's people who can't take it right. It looks stupid when people throw there arms up in front of there face. Just take the fucking move.
The move looks awesome when taken right. Kotaro Suzuki takes that move like a fucking champ. It only looks bad when people put there arms up and essentially take the knee to their forearms, like the Taker did last Smackdown. |

I'm suprised nobody has said starship pain. It's flashy but it would look like it would hurt bad. Plus, he usually misses.

I agree, Show's KO Punch is ridiculous. And like most people, my issue is timing/set up.
If Show is gonna use it, he should DDP it. Hit it from any angle, at any time. More specifically, he should walk into the ring and hit the Punch. Screw a match. If you have a punch that knocks people cold in one hit, why would you do anything but? Miss the first time, just keep swinging for it. Show is massive enough that him taking a few shots to make it hit (no selling all the way) is totally believable. Even if he only hits it on the fourth attempt, that takes what... 20 seconds? The problem is him wrestling for 7 minutes only to hit a punch that requires no real set up and is instantly effective. If he goes for a long match, he should use the Chokeslam. Although, again, with the KO Punch as an awesome and believable part of your arsenal, why would you do anything else? |

5: The Playmaker-Just Lame
4: Brogue Kick-A Kick as a finisher doesn't seem too threatening... 4: Zig Zag-The sleeper hold is better 2: Leg Drop-Yea a leg drop is real threatening, especially from Hulk Hogan 1: Tadpole Splash-Do I even need to explain this? |

Either way, I'd still buy the move. Looks better than half the finishers in the WWE. Even when it doesn't connect, it still looks legit. |

So, I just gotta say this about one move that a few people have spoken up against- The KO Punch.
When The Big Show hits it I swear he can knock down a fucking wall. It looks NASTY! However, my qualm with that move is how he sets it up. Now if this was something more like HBK's Sweet Chin Music I could buy into it. Have him miss in mid match, and then out of nowhere "BAM!!!!" |

WORD He just slaps their body with his arms when he comes down, it looks like shit. The GTS barely ever connects as well, looks fake as fuck (DUH WRASSLINS FAKE FAG, YH I KNOW). Hate Jericho's shitty Boston Crab version of Walls of Jericho too. Del Rio's armbar is teh awesome though. |

About the KO Punch. Is he hitting it with an open fist? Cos I don't see how it could be that powerful if so. If not, it's an illegal move.
GTS looks sloppy a lot of the time. Christian took a good one on SD last week. Starship Pain looks good but like has been said a dozen times it's rarely hit properly. |
