Actually, the thing is that Moxley has used like 6 moves as finishers during his AEW run. The bulldog choke is one of them, it's not a signature. The Death Rider is supposed to be an elevated/spiked version of the Paradigm Shift, but he often does it sloppily and it's more of a butterfly suplex! 😂

[@Ale_Deca]

Technically, the Death Rider is a double underhook brainbuster, so he aims to make the opponent land on their neck

[@AxeDharme]

Death Rider is the same as Paradigm shift. It's called DR in NJPW and PS in AEW.

[@gitazak8337]

[@neverunknown1236]

@@AxeDharme almost paradigm shift is basically just the dirty deeds while death rider is a a brain buster the only real difference is he lifts them into the air for the death rider and they land differently

[@PBLightning145]

Ok

[@themuiz9671]

Mox's Bulldog Choke is one of the most protected finishers in AEW. I don't even remember the last time someone got out of it (except when there was an outside interference). It is like Mox's last resort after his opponent refuses to stay down. He usually uses it right after someone kick out of the Paradigm Shift.

Technically 619 is a signature. It rarely ends a match on its own. It's followed up by West Coast Pop or Frog Splash etc. which would make those the finishers.

[@2spoonz]

That’s what I always said finishers are only moves that directly lead to a pin or submission

[@ultraomenmurat9937]

I would argue it's a combo finisher

[@MrsWellner]

That's literally what they said in the video.

[@mattthunder5759]

Moxley uses The Bulldog choke as a finish most of the time nowadays

[@JacksonOwex]

I wouldn't say "most of the time" but more often, yes!

[@Statssgaming]

When I saw it was him because I couldn’t remember who did it I said he uses it a lot now

[@GameTesterDev]

He only uses it as a last resort if the Paradigm Shift doesn't pick up the win.

[@uncensoredreality]

@@GameTesterDev I mean isn’t that the definition of a finisher lol

[@rriggs6547]

It is the submission finisher.

[@Xandersama]

Moxley's Bulldog Choke is a pretty staple finisher of his he uses when nothing else works or when he's really vindictive. The match between him and Yuta last year (the good one) he had to resort to it because Yuta wouldn't stay down.

[@astasredhood]

Death Rider is the Paradigm Shift in New Japan, but as of recently they just changed the distinction. Death Rider is now the elevated double arm brainbuster while the Paradigm Shift is the regular double arm ddt (or Dirty Deeds). The bulldog choke is his other finisher. He’s been using it for three years now, with the first time he’s used it being on Sammy Guevara at Bash At The Beach in 2020. As for the gotch pileriver, that’s more of a signature he picked up after his rivalry with Minoru Suzuki. Like how he’s picked up the cutter after his return from rehab.

[@rriggs6547]

The Paradigm shift is different from Dirty Deeds in that it is elevated.

[@astasredhood]

@@rriggs6547 Not anymore. They’ve started to call that The Death Rider while the non-elevated, dirty deeds version is called the Paradigm Shift. Go back and watch Mox vs. Darius Martin and skip to the end then do it with Mox/Claudio vs Top Flight on AEW’s KZbin and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

[@rriggs6547]

@@astasredhood I thought they were morphing the paradigm shift into a double underhook neckbreaker/suplex.

[@mclew1234]

Barrett's finisher is called the Bull Hammer as a tribute to Bartley Gorman,. He is considered one of the best bare knuckle boxers of all time & claimed the title King of the Gypsies. He's also a distant relative of Tyson Fury, hence his ring name of the Gypsy King

[@declanfan30]

Really cool quiz today. Glad I got EC3 and especially Wade Barrett. He slowly became a favorite of mine over time and I even like that he is one of the announcers now. Also love that I got Karrion Kross too. Keep it up guys! Can’t wait to see what quiz you guys have next 👍🏽

[@Benjamin-lc3gx]

West coast pop was the finisher part back in the day at least

[@Sam-cq3sl]

i know the Bull Hammer because Wade/Bad News Barrett is one of the greatest wrestlers to come out of England and along with British Bulldog, Dynamite Kid and William Regal, Wade/BNB is one of my favourites, i am proud to be British

[@distheotaku3595]

In practice anyway, Mox really only has three "Finishers" nowadays, that being the Paradigm Shift (Dirty Deeds), Death Rider (An elevated/spike version of Dirty Deeds), and the Bulldog Choke as a submission finish. What made this quiz really hard though is the fact that finishers aren't really a thing anymore in modern day wrestling, wrestlers just have their list of signature moves and when the time comes to win the match, they pick from the list.

[@bigdrewelbajapanty]

Eddie Kingston also uses the Bulldog Choke. In NJPW, Jon Moxley's finisher is called the Death Rider. AEW only calls it "Death Rider" when it's the elevated form that kind of looks like a Brainbuster.

[@rriggs6547]

I think Kingston calls it something else though.

Brian Cage named his finisher Drill Claw after Wolverine’s move of the same name from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. One of Cage’s nicknames is also the Swolverine.

[@advaitkhedkar3299]

I miss seeing Alberto Del Rio's Cross ArmBreaker so much! He was decent in the ring, but this finisher was epic, came out of nowhere...looked cool the way he spun over opponents arm to lock it in, and he could also do in on the ropes by hanging on the opponents arm

[@brianschaffer9220]

We need more quizzes like this. It's more fun when it's harder.

[@TheTsunaru]

Moxley has 19 wins in singles competition in AEW in 3 years with the Bulldog Choke, so it could 100% be considered a finisher.

[@zeospark9715]

Fun fact: EC3's One Percent and the original version of Ambrose's Dirty Deeds (before he changed it into a double-underhook DDT) are the same finisher (a facelock driver). It's funny that both of them are right beside each other question and answer wise lol

Barrett debuted that Elbow as the Souvenir, I feel like this has always been a better name than the Bull Hammer.

[@joshhale9355]

Paradigm Shift and Bulldog Choke are Mox’s main finishers in AEW. Death Rider was his finisher in NJPW, which is elevated at a much more ridiculous angle. But yes, the Bulldog Choke is one of his finishers when he basically needed to have a submission finisher when going against Danielson prior to BCC forming.

Moxley has won with the Bulldog Choke more often than not recently. He would hit the Death Rider and then roll over into the choke to end the match

[@louist3923]

11:10 yeah they're done here😂 morale shattered

[@sadowolf]

This one was actually pretty challenging, mostly because I don't keep up with AEW as much. But one thing I will say is that despite what you thought, every one of these is or was a main finisher at least at some point. No signatures were on the quiz unless they were upgraded to or downgraded from finisher status. - West Coast Pop was Mysterio's original finisher when he came to WWE. It was pretty much when he did the 619 and followed it with the springboard hurricanrana pin. - I was thinking there were a lot of answers for Cross Armbreaker because it's just a jujigatame/armbar and several wrestlers use/used it (Ronda, Asuka sometimes), but I guess Del Rio was the only one who used it where it was officially referred to by that name. - Mickey James was extremely close since she aped her finisher from Trish and called it the Mick Kick.

[@Vengeance_De_La_Hoya]

I’m a pretty big Karrion Kross fan, but I forgot he had the finisher Time’s up. He didn’t use it very much. When he first came to Raw he would first use the Doomsday suplex, then well his opponents down he’d go behind them then hit them with that forearm move. The problem was that I was only remembering the Doomsday Suplex and The Cross Jacket

[@GameTesterDev]

The Death Rider is basically a spiked/elevated version of the Paradigm Shift... He used it as his main finisher in NJPW and GCW and barely uses it in AEW... Like the last time he used Death Rider in AEW was when he quickly defeated CM Punk a couple weeks before All Out

[@rriggs6547]

So in AEW Moxley uses the Paradigm Shift and the Bulldog choke as his finishing moves. (Regular and submission) The Paradigm Shift is similar to the Death Rider but he uses that in NJPW. Both are different from Dirty Deeds because they are elevated; he didn't elevate the move in WWE. I admit I have never heard of a few of the finishers mentioned. I only finished with 5. I did know Awful Waffle though from Taylor's ROH days.

[@aboyandhisvlog8390]

My initial thought when drill claw came up was some sort of submission with a twisting motion, sounds better he locked in the drill claw then those two

Actually Mox does have a bulldog choke as his finisher for a while now he hardly uses paradiagm shift anymore if he wanted to he'd use the death rider

[@bloodlesscamel]

I've never heard of Kross having a move called times up. He has the Kross hammer, the Kross jacket, and the doomsday Saito. He literally does not have the times up.

[@cbrowns]

The difference is, now wrestlers have multiple finishers. Mox uses the bulldog choke usually after kickout from paradigm shift. Gone are the days of finishers actually finishing matches

[@nolankuffner3573]

Except that's not true, at all. The only time a finisher doesn't end a match is when they want to protect everyone involved. There are plenty of times where the promotion is building a talent and there's no kick out. Jaded. The Bulldog Choke. Salt of the Earth. Some finishers are very protected. Hell, I genuinely don't remember the last time someone kicked out of the Curb Stomp. I mean, they're rare, for sure. But it's not 100% of the time where finishers aren't effective. I'd say finishers are actually effective every time they win a match, regardless if the person did 4 or 1.
