Underrated finishers.
Basically, mention your favorite finishers that aren't as heralded as other match enders, but are definitely devastating.
Billy Robinson used the Backdrop Backbreaker as his finisher in the US especially, and holy hell does it look vicious. And you really can't say that about many of the variations. And what finishers do you like that are unheralded? ![]() = ![]() "KARA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Question Mark.

It's nothing massively devastating, but I've always liked the Widowmaker that Sean O'Haire use to do.
Random fact: I stole this finisher for myself, but named it the "Five Mile Dropout". A Shark Attack 3 reference. |

I really like the Rings of Saturn, and I wish someone would bust it out as a submission finish. Maybe Finn Balor?
On the topic of great submission holds, I really liked Tyson's Dungeon Lock. He's now over with the Sharpshooter as a finisher, so I can understand why they haven't had him bring it out, but it was fucking great. |

Crack 'Em in the Mouth (Deuce 'n Domino's finisher) was pretty awesome and one of the many things I liked about that team.
With the opponent in a seated position, Domino holds the opponent's head in place while Deuce gets some momentum, goes off the ropes, and then runs at the guy full force with a boot to the mouth. It was simple but looked devastating. |

Gold & Stardust used it as a tag team finish like once when they first debuted the Stardust character. I was hoping it would become their "Cosmic Key" finish. Jason Jordan & Tye Dillinger could use this as a tag team sign-off in NXT.
Crack 'Em in the Mouth could be used by Blake & Murphy, but I suppose they've got the running suplex/Frog Splash combo. |

Pretty obscure, but that finisher of Luther Reigns was pretty fuckin' wicked, IMO.

I always felt like the Rock Bottom was kinda underrated. Especially in recent years it seems like it's kinda got shit on by some folks.
Not the most impressive move ever by any means but Rock's showmanship really helped make it work. And the guys he worked with usually sell it well helping to make it work. Sure it's just a fall forward lifting side slam but by the time Rock set it up and hit someone with it, the crowd usually was ready to explode. |

I dont remember HBk using the Elbow drop until 95/96. Definitely not until 94 at the earliest when Macho Man left.
Superkick started as a normal move he did at the break up but wasnt his finisher for a few years. |

The Curb Stomp!
Honestly, it's a move that can be hit on any opponent, looks great (except for when Cena takes it), it's simple but effective, and would put you down in a real fight. I'd like to see Seth hit it in a few different ways (should have done a spot where he leaped off Cena's back to hit it on Brock in their Triple Threat, for example. Perfect finisher. |
