10 Finishers WWE Wrestlers Retired

Honestly, I'm glad Shawn used the "Sweet Chin Music" than a Basic Suplex as a finisher throughout most of his career.

The running power slam is a great finisher for a big man. It’s extremely realistic, especially for guys like Braun and Lashley

[@reddeath5791]

I guess that’s true, but that triangle choke lift looked scary, imagine being lifted off the ground and choked by a larger than average mountain. At least with the power slam it was just a slam on the back and it would be over, it’s like every other slam or powerbomb or suplex, there’s nothing else like the lifting triangle choke

[@KasumiRINA]

It's just overused, Braun had this triangle choke, Yokosuka cutter AND a reverse chokeslam, all better and more unique as finishers.

[@ErmacXtreme1991]

Edge changed his finisher that many times and personally none were all that great in my opinion. Downward spiral- spear- impaler (later edgecution)- spear again. Pretty sure there was a tornado DDT from the 2nd turnbuckle in there somewhere too as well as his Edgeucator submission. Best known for the spear but compared to guys like Goldberg and Rhyno it just lacked any real impact.

They definitely need to do something with Braun Strowman's running powerslam.
