Stupid finishing moves

[sleepwalk]

Starship Pain (or any "split-legged moonsault") looks like it has the same amount of impact as a second rope splash.

KO's pop-up powerbomb: He does it great but it kills the suspension of disbelief when he does it to guys big as or bigger than he is.

Da Spear

Rey Misterio's 150lb splash from the top rope

I don't know if this was a finishing move in the traditional sense. It's a career finishing move potentially, and it's definitely stupid.....

Let's cripple ourselves for $40

That's dolph ziggler. You've actually seen him wrestle before as one of the male cheerleaders nicky. His main finisher the zig zag was already mentioned by Rex as one of the worst.

Yeah I remember the spirit squad. Lol

This, and the abominable elbow, how does such a talented wrestler have such shitty finishers.

For people saying the spear, let's not forget Goldberg speared the shit out of people. And Rhynos was quality too.

A spear is a tackle so it hurts IRL. Basically a takedown except in grappling your not supposed to chaotically take yourself down at the same time. Maybe land on the dude precisely.

I wish I could forget.

only people who make it look devastating should be allowed to do it.

And yet so many GREAT wrestlers used it as a finisher, guys like. . .

To add: The Armpit Claw, or any variation of the claw not on the face - belly claw, shoulder claw, etc.

The Kawada Driver. That weak move wouldn't even hurt in real life.

some good lol's in this thread

Stunner isn’t all that great but the vertabreaker at least don’t by Shane helms was good.

Shane's version looked like shit compared to Homicides.

Irish Whip used to end matches.

Look up Danno O'Mahoney.

Weird that I had no idea there was a statue of a wrestler so close, but I have no desire to go to schull to see it. I feel sorry for him having to die in such a terrible place like Portlaoise. God bless motorways otherwise I would have to drive through there on Friday.

I’ve seen this version and think it looks like shit

You're joking right?

Shame Helms does it as safely as possible.

 

[Randy Trevor]

any move like sister Abigail, downward spiral, end of days etc, where the dumbass just pulls the other guy on top of them

 

[rikwebb]

The Stroke or Skullcrushing Finale, think they both look stupid
