In terms of looking powerful, the Samoan Spike did do its part for Umaga's character. A simplistic move that almost looks primal fits his character well. As for it being painful have you ever tried getting Samoan Spiked? One of my classmates got hit by that move when we were playing around back in 5th or 6th grade and the move actually hurt him. Not gonna knock him out of course but I remember his face was red for a long time and he said its like there's something painfully stuck on his throat even a few hours after he got hit by it.

[@cameronhyne8432]

I mean I just did it to myself and it hurt a bit and I barely put any power behind it so I believe it

[@mikewalters8047]

Depending on WHERE on the neck you make contact, the Cobra could be considered an effective move. Make contact with the esophagus or carotid artery and you might be able to stun the opponent long enough to get the pinfall.

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

If it's done to the trachea it will quickly swell up until you can't breathe. Santino's cobra could legitimately kill some if done for real.

I've never done any professional wrestling, but I did more than a decade of collegiate/freestyle/greco-roman wrestling. Belly to belly suplexes for realsies hurt, like a lot. And Bailey goes for 5 points every single time. I get that her opponent is going up for her, and helping her while she is protecting her opponent, the reverse of what is going on in C/F/G, but I see her go for those off of the ropes or tables or whatever and the wrestler inside me cringes with pain, every time.

[@IronCityVox]

As a man who has “allegedly” belly to bellied a guy on the sidewalk, I assure you that move is destructive.

[@JackgarPrime]

Yeah i think the Bayley To Belly probably doesn't deserve to be on this list. The logic of it in kayfabe is also that not only is she slamming them on to the mat, but she's crashing her bodyweight down on top of them as well. You look at the Steiner Brothers back in the day and they would do a similar belly to belly variation that always looked very impactful.

The Bailey-To-Belly variation of the Belly-To-Belly Suplex was initially introduced and popularized in the 1980s by Magnum TA and later used as a finisher by Shane Douglas in the early part of his career. Depending upon how much force you can put behind it, it can be pretty effective.

Honestly, looking back at this, the Samoan Spike isn't that bad of a finisher, it's like the equivalent of getting stabbed in the neck, as morbid as that sounds, it's the only logical comparison for such an finishing maneuver

I think the wasteland slam was far more impactful. I know it may not have "looked" it, but having done judo, I know that getting slammed like that would legit take it out of you. It's almost a samoan drop. Something that could have been a finisher but has become a throwaway move like the DDT

the bullhammer is a fantastic finisher, even if it is strike. it's just so easy to do with no set up. i'd rank it up there with RKO/diamond cutter and piledriver for great finishers. keep in mind, it's a move that not everyone can get away with, like jbl's clothesline from hell.

[@robertwetmore7655]

The only thing it ever hurt over the years was Hogan’s own spine. It actually caused him to shorten his height because of the spinal compression. He said in an interview recently that a guy boasting arms the size of his should’ve been using a sleeper hold. It would’ve made more sense gimmick wise. Now he’s hobbling around on two rebuilt knees and rebuilt hips because of that leg drop. And after hearing him say that I can’t disagree. It would’ve given him the option of incorporating submission matches here and there. He was already burying almost everyone he faced anyway, at least he could’ve helped put a few over like when Bret hart made austin pass out instead of tapping out at mania 13. Austin was turned into a legend because he fought and scratched until he passed out because his body literally gave up on him without him having to decide to tap, or at least that was the storyline we were given, but damn if it didn’t work. Piper would’ve been an awesome guy to use in that kind of scenario!

​@@miguelgagne3820 the thing that made it a finisher is that he as real strength to get height on the throw to make it more believable a KO than just flipping someone onto their back. Especially when he flips the biggest opponents that some others in his weight class couldn't even keep off the ground as long as he does. If he couldn't use it on big opponents and just let them roll off it would just be a horizontal version of Barrett's Wasteland

Thing with the people's elbow was it was rarely used as a finisher. His finisher was the Rock Bottom. People's elbow was a move he used as icing on the cake, like an added insult to his opponent. That's why it worked. He always did it after he'd dealt a load of damage. Also, an elbow to the chest would not only hurt a fly, it would probably kill you.
