Favorite finishing move(s)

I was gonna list my faves but this vid pretty much covered them all...

great video, actually depressing as it reminds you how great pro wrestling once was, the steiner screwdiver plex is awesome, i also love the steiner recliner/super camel clutch...

i gotta say diamond cutter, stunner and super kick due to setup time. there's probably much more.


but chicken wing was good

2 more:

the dynamite kid from the british bulldogs had some high flying finishing moves from the ropes that were well ahead of their time...



damn shame how his career ended...

Can't forget brett, being canadian im more proud of his performances in various pro wrestling orgs. then GSP's ground faggotry inside the octagon, brett took one of my favourite finishers, the boston crab and modified it into an instant clasic...

Man, I was just gonna post that first vid. You read my mind.

It's like Chris Benoit was a clone of The Dynamite Kid... shame how his career ended as well.

They said on Bret's A&E Biography that the sharp shooter was supposedly a real submission move taught to him by his father Stu Hart. They said Stu learned it from his days as a catch wrester. Is that even remotely true?

^^ this is a great thread, BTW happy-b-day nicah...

I wanna see someone do a sharp shooter in an MMA fight.

Stu was a legend. They used to call his basement the dungeon aka the torture chamber. I'd love to see a prime Stu vs. a prime Sakuraba in a strictly grappling only match up. Stu knew every submission hold known to man. That would have been beyond epic. They said when Stu would compete in catch wrestling match ups some times he would fight for 2 or 3 hours straight.

So many dead wrestlers...
It really is just like that movie The Wrestler.

^^ epic flick, BTW.

How could I forget about these three:







God damn, that last one is ten minutes long!

Don't forget about his tag partner's finisher. It's rather sweet as well.

noone did that as good as juventude guerrera, really should have made that video's top 20 (with juvie performing it as the example)

The best finisher EVER is the canadian destroyer...nothing like it!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YBs3I8kDuw

Nice choice.



Deeezam!!

How about a double Van-Terminator?



But, this has got the be the ultimate HOLY SHIT moment.



Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb was always a favorite of mine.

When he was just starting off his career he would always wait 'till the very last second to tuck his head. I always thought he was gonna be too late and snap his fucking neck. I'd be biting my nails every time.

You know, come to think of it Brock had a SICK shooting star press.

...and NO I'm not talking about his epic fail at WrestleMania. I'm talking about the countless other times he did it without messing it up. Speaking of which how did he not die and or break his neck. Jesus Christ!!





He jumps so freakin' high and far. Impressive as shit.

Rob Van Dam's 5 star frog splash is always very impressive.



It's such a simple move. No corkscrews or back flips. Just hang time and impact.


EDIT: ^^^^ I didn't realize that vid also had clips of the swanton... all well, even better.

^^ you got to take into consideration as well, that brock literally weighed more than 2x juventudes weight, that was 1/6 of a ton coming off the ropes back in brocks 320 + lb days...

Sometimes I forget just how good he really was. He had some epic matches in the WWE.

How many guys do you know that can jump 10 feet into the air like that and do things like F5, suplex, and powerbomb a guy like The Big Show?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone else who'd even consider doing any those things. Let alone actually being capable of it.

Aside Brock and other technical great moves i have to name the Jacknife Powerbomb of Kevin Nash/Diesel. It wasn't technical anything special but i think it always looked like it could make a real impact.
