I can understand when someone like Big Show does that finisher considering his hand size. However there is no excuse for Logan paul to do that, I don't care if he has steel implant inside his hand there is no excuse considering his other moves like buckshot clothsline or frog splash looks more devastating.
@@DieFrauAmHerd There actually is a kayfabe reason why Big Show used a punch. When he returned, I remember the commentators said that Big Show had previously left WWE to try to pursue a boxing career, but no one would fight him. This was obviously not true, but at least it gave a reason for the new finisher.
John Cena’s fist move was literally a promotional move for a film he had releasing in China. It wasn’t ever meant to replace his other moves and that’s also why it lasted only a few matches.
The Roseplant has the same problem that Mone's Moneymaker does, everyone takes the move different which makes it look like the move is constantly botched because it looks different every time.
If Jericho was trying to do something less taxing at his old age, he shoul have went back to the walls of Jericho. That move has very little stress on his body
Hell he should have never abandoned the Liontamer. All he's doing is holding you vertical while resting his knee on your head. It's usually a guaranteed tap out too so he doesn't even have to hold it for more than a few seconds before it's over. Looks brutal, ends the match quick. Simple.
@@aridddle they are not. They are explicitly two separate moves. Jericho himself has gone on to confirm this in a few interviews, stating that the Walls of Jericho was easier to use and less dangerous on his opponent( it's literally a Boston crab. Plus it's something you can actually counter or break from, unlike the Liontamer for most of its runtime). He still breaks out the Liontamer on occasions, but it's usually at the request of his opponent or for a great spot to end the match on strong.
He said in his book that many of the guys in WWF were too big to put into the liontamer, so he had to modify it into the walls of Jericho to make it work.
@@Beast_the_smash_guy I actually like it too. In kayfabe, not only is your head being planted, it looks like your neck and spine are being painfully jerked back.
Fr me and friend where wrestling and he put me in the STF and I’m not one to give up and tap imma try to get out but damn it hurt I had no choice but to tap
Did your opponent choke you? Cuz Cena only hooks the leg and lies on his adversaries Also boston crab and camel clutch can be very paonful, but nobody finishes with them anymore
@@DD_Vandal oh I don't watch modern WWE. Does Gunther finishes his matches with crabs? I mean those moves are considered the most basic atm it's like finishing with Roberts DDT or fireman carry too common and not very impressive moves
What I miss is Austin Theory's Jumpin TKO that was viscous and he used it in NXT and on the main roster before he switched it up. The ATD/ATL just doesn't do it
Which is only about 10% of the time. Most of her opponents just don't sell it correctly. Io Shirai is the only one on the roster who consistently makes it look good.
11. WMD - Not the most ideal finisher. Big Show got away with it but still not really a good finisher especially when someone like Lacey Evans uses it. 10. Stunner - Pop up Powerbomb is definitely better for KO in my opinion. The Stunner doesn't click as his finisher. Especially since during that time, his other major move was the Apron Powerbomb, it made sense for him to win with some type of Powerbomb and his was the best. 9. TKOB - Doesn't really suit the Undertaker. And a standing Dragon Sleeper doesn't look like it's doing anything. It's like winning with a guillotine choke but not going to the ground, people think that you're taking too long to do a DDT. 8. A Town Down - I've never really liked this move. It looks clunky. I'd rather he did the Ataxia or the Jumping TKO he did under Seth Rollins. 7. Rose Plant - this move sucks. It doesn't help that Bailey took Becky's advice on hooking the arm to make the move more complicated. I love the Headlock Driver sometimes but this isn't it. 6. DDT Facebuster - I like this move personally. I think that the Revolution Knee would have been better in this list as it was more of a longer lasting finisher. But it was inferior to the Stomp. 5. Enzu Lariet - I get changing finishers for a different gimmick especially if it doesn't fit but this is an odd choice. Like yeah, maybe don't have a heel do Moonsaults but a Tombstone Facebuster looks vicious and probably works better with a monster heel. You got rid of a good finisher that works better as a heel to a worse finisher because you're now a heel. Thats weird. 4. Lightning Fist - This also doesn't really make sense. John Cena is a brawler but he also prides in power and strength. Why have a shitty backhand finisher? The Five Knuckle Shuffle is a better finisher than the Lightning Fist. 3. Judas Effect - The move itself isn't a bad finisher just not how Jericho does it. If Andrade did his Spinning Back Elbow as a finisher, i think people would be happy with it. 2. Lie Detector - not a bad finisher but I think that the issue stems from the silhouette. If you can't see the arm properly, it looks odd. 1. Mone Maker - I think that this move could be done well. But I also don't think Sasha can pull it off. A Gory Bomb into a Flatliner isn't the easiest of transitions. I think that she needs to get more into a Razors Edge and push the opponent up and over into a Flatliner.
I'll have to disagree with you on that. Maybe I'm biased because Stone Cold Stunner is my favorite finisher of all time, but KO's stunners look lousy AF. The transition from the kick into the facelock just isn't smooth enough. He doesn't do the move justice.
@@STAND_2GETHER Adapting some legend's finisher can't be considered as a wannabe. There are a lot of wrestlers who have adapted someone's finisher and some have adapted and just changed their names. Some wrestlers have their own but they don't look like a finisher, they look even worse than a punch. KO's stunner is way better than that. He have a different aura. That is what matters I think. And in the end, Your opinion is yours. I respect that.
@@RingOfGold_1 Well maybe not for all of them but two wrestlers who I like has both changed their finishers to COPY legends and I thought both came off pretty bad compared to their original finisher. First ofcourse KO because I loved his pop up powerbomb this Stunner seems like a cheap copy of Stone Cold's. The other example is Dolph Ziggler aka Nick Nemath who changed his Zigzag (which I really thought cool) to HBK wannabe Super kick. Maybe it's just me but I love when wrestlers female or male debuts with original finishers nobody used before. I know RKO isn't a best example but Randy's finisher maybe not unique but he popularized it and even if someone used that before him they are not popular enough for people to care. If you are gonna say it's Diamond Cutter of DDP it's not DDP's finisher is just normal cutter while Randy's jumping cutter.
How come you didn't mention how the Walls of Jericho is just a downgraded, less visually brutal Liontamer? Jericho literally rests his knee and his entire body's weight on your head while you're head completely vertical upside down. I have yet to see anyone survive that for more than 3 seconds.
its not like a powerbomb has the "it" factor when nearly everybody does it nowadays for a 2 count. Its up to the person using the finisher to make the finisher mean something. Gunther won the world title with a sleeper hold in 2024. Let that sink in.
I agree, did you know that when Kevin Owens went to ask Stone Cold if he could use the stunner, it turned out that Austin had been waiting for someone to ask that question! And the rest is history.
With the STF the problem is that they got it wrong. It's based on a real MMA move but the point of the move is to hurt the knee not the head/neck. Shayna did made a video a while ago about that move
I’m sorry but you can’t tell me going from a belly to belly suplex to a rose plant driver is a downgrade. I mean come on a fucking belly to belly suplex?
I would t even call it a driver. What's the point of underhooking the opponent's hand if you're just pushing their face downward? I won't say a belly to belly suplex is better but the rose plant isn't exactly an upgrade either. They're both equally terrible in my book. A regular piledriver would have been more impactful and believable as a finisher.
I actually loved Takers Dragon Sleeper as he needed something new with his next heel turn that and his chair finisher during his heel run were awesome! Kind of like his Hells Gate as he started using sub holds more frequently. His age was a factor I'm sure as he got older.
The pop-up powerbomb is good, but you can clearly see the seller cooperates with the move. Stunner is better imo, not mentioning there're like a hundred ways to sell the stunner.
I don't know, I think they have one reason or another why they change their finishers.. I know Randy Orton changed his finisher because of a surgery that he had he had to improvise a new one which now has been called the RKO.. which is basically kind of like The diamond cutter.
For Undertaker I thought you were going to say Hells Gate. TCB was pretty good imo, could get those Big Evil facials in when he was doing it and it genuinely looked like it would suck being in it 😅
It looks convincing but it's not a good wrestling move. Most real-life fighting are crap in wrestling. They generally lack visual impact and struggle to differentiate themselves from the bog-standard wrestling attacks like clotheslines, elbow strikes, etc.
HHH used running knee and Facebreaker Knee Smash. Both can end matches IRL, but HHH never won any match with those moves. Why? Cuz in wrestling is about flashy match endings and unique finishers. Spinning elbow is not fancy nor unique. Big Show's punch btw was unique cuz he's a fkn giant, he executed nice as well
With Jericho it looks slow and doesn't look lethal, I like Andrade back hand elbow better as it looks more lethal and believable finisher due to he speed and ferocity.
To be fair jericho was aging before he moved to AEW and he said that he cant perform code breaker as good as he used to, or Lionsault so he changed to spinning back elbow.
In Theory's defense, most top guys wouldn't be acrobatic enough to take his old finisher. So it was either get a new finisher, or say goodbye to any chance of being a main eventer.
Austin theories a town down move is really good. People always say it’s a weak move but hitting face first on the knee hurts so I think it’s a really good move
The tcb wasn't a thing, it was the dragon sleeper hold which was quite common for a hold at the time and wasn't even a finisher it was a submission move he was known to use then he changed it to the triangle choke
If I remember why Cena doing STF differently from his debut because the move legit KO Edge in their TLC match on PPV that's why he have to change his arm lock to make it safe
I bet if Sasha changed her finish from the moneymaker to Victorias finish the widows peak it would look more devastating but still have the same setup. Maybe she knows that and is paying homage to her?
The thing with the money maker is is a really cool move, but I think it’s just too complicated with how much movement you have to do before actually getting to hit the move
I always thought that the reason Big Show had to change his finisher was because with age he didn't have the strength anymore to pull of the chokeslam the way he used to. Like Rey Mysterio's finisher changed as he got older. I don't like Austin Theory's old finisher. It doesn't look like he's doing anything. It looks like his opponents are doing all the work and taking themselves out. The same with Seth Rollins' curb stomp: it requires too much obvious cooperation.
Who do you think had the biggest finisher downgrade?
Me

I feel like KO's pop-up powerbomb just fit him better instead of the stunner. Although his stunner is already great.

It looks like a crocodile doing the death roll in the air
It looks better as a comeback move, though. Finisher-wise, it's not good.
It looks cool but not finisher worthy
Iyo actually made the roseplant look pretty brutal at wrestlemania, but when Bayley does it to Nia or someone bigger the move just looks horrendous.
Shotzi also sold it quite well
It looks horrendous no matter who's taking the move. It's a genuinely awful finisher
She should have just stick to headlock driver that EC3 and Dean Ambrose used.

100% agreed

I bet if Sasha changed her finish from the moneymaker to Victorias finish the widows peak it would look more devastating but still have the same setup. Maybe she knows that and is paying homage to her?
The rose plant is a knockoff headlock DDT
The thing with the money maker is is a really cool move, but I think it’s just too complicated with how much movement you have to do before actually getting to hit the move
Hell's Gate was a vastly superior submission finisher for the Undertaker. That move was brutal.
And the receiver has blood coming out of their mouth made it more vicious Great Khali, Mark Henry,Big Daddy V,Festus etc
The Katie Vic comparison Lmaoo
The lie detector is amazing I’m sorry
The Judas effect is an upgrade
For number 9, it was a submission finish and I don't know if he had one.
how on earth does r truth spin after that?? he gotta be defying the laws of physics
I always thought that the reason Big Show had to change his finisher was because with age he didn't have the strength anymore to pull of the chokeslam the way he used to. Like Rey Mysterio's finisher changed as he got older.
I don't like Austin Theory's old finisher. It doesn't look like he's doing anything. It looks like his opponents are doing all the work and taking themselves out. The same with Seth Rollins' curb stomp: it requires too much obvious cooperation.
