How could you leave out the Hogan leg drop but include the Warrior splash and a leg drop that took skill by doing a flip?

[@ThunderFist1978]

Maybe because the legdrop has a legacy, and the fact that it looked like it hurt due to Hogan's size. You have a point, though, that it doesn't take skill or agility to do, and the Hulkster has certainly paid the price for doing it for so long.

Fun fact, the reason why Cena stopped choking his opponents with the STF was because he would legitimately choke his opponents out. Perfect exanple was his match agaisnt Edge at Unforgiven 2006. Even when he choked his opponents, he still applied it wrong. Its a face lock, not a choke hold.

The Warrior Splash was only half the finisher. It started with the overhead press drop, THEN the splash. Just like Hogan had the Big Boot, then the leg drop. They had 2-part finishers, was a thing in the 80s. The Rock continued this tradition with his Rock Bottom leading into a People's Elbow.

[@Drakorre]

Also Goldberg with the spear jackhammer

[@jasonreid9267]

The Warrior stopped doing the press drop consistently and often won with just the splash. The Press looked great, but when he didn't use it the Splash was crap as a finisher

The gorilla press slam was a dope finish. Not a lot of guys could do that. Warriors was insanely strong.

[@aaronpeterson7900]

You forgot hogan would do the 3 punches before the big boot

[@heraldberg9469]

Well, sometimes the Warrior would use his flying shoulder-block before using the splash. It looks more devastating when guys like Typhoon or Mark Henry or Bronson Reed use it because of their massive bodies.

MVP's finisher reminds me of scrolling through signature moves on WWE No Mercy to assign yourself, and landing on it thinking it looks cool at first because it's different and then realizing how crazy stupid it is.

Another noteworty mention: There was once a WCW wrestler, Kenny Kaos I believe he was called. His finishing move was the "crash landing", where he used the same set up as for a powerbomb but instead of slamming the opponent on the canvas he just lifted the opponent up and dropped him without the slightest of force. So ridiculous :D I remember me and another wrestling fan classmate laughing our asses off, sarcastically threatening other classmates to perform the "deadly" crash landing on them. Born in 86, i'm really grateful to have experienced the prime of wrestling (entertainment), started watching 1991, became a huge fan from 1995 to 2000, 2001 to 2003 seemed still okay and since then I did not follow anymore. I felt the creativity from that point on went down the drain. A buddy of mine is a huge fan of today's wrestling, but it is extremely painful to listen to and to watch it for me.

Makes me think of Sid, his powerbomb was mostly him getting his opponent up and then just letting go.

[@shangclockmania6168]

Are you sure you did not mistake Sid's Powerbomb for Diesel's/Kevin Nash's? Sid in fact used a lot of force slamming the opponent on the ground, the Jackknife Powerbomb on the other hand was more or less letting go, just as you described. Check out Sid's Powerbombs once more, 90% of them were really powerful, yet he was a worker well enough to put "soft" Powerbombs on protected Wrestlers like Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart,... Watch how he stopped two times mid air to deliver the softest possible Powerbomb on the Hulkster :D

Hulk Hogans leg drop was the worst finisher for me. Its one of the most protective moves in WWE and very few have kicked out of it, but if you think of its the same as him just sitting on you. What makes it worst is if you realize his finisher hurts him more than it would hurt the opponent. (due to Hulk Hogan himself confessing it caused him long term back pain.)

Ultimate Warrior's finisher was the gorilla press and splash combination. He would gorilla press the guy and drop him face first, causing enough damage. Then he would run the ropes for momentum and splash the guy while he was still laying down face-first, to knock the wind out of him. Even the splash he would sometimes do alone was enough because he was huge, weighing 275 lbs. Nobody says anything about large fat guys just doing a regular splash, or smaller guys doing a splash off the turnbuckles (like the Usos or Eddie doing the frog splash).

[@VAFranky]

I think the only reason Starship Pain fits in this list is because of the frequently flawed execution and him often horribly overshooting his opponent. Huge loss of points for inconsistent execution. On the rare occassion he completely wiffed it was really embarassing to see him get a 3 count on his opponent right after. When he landed well with his opponent far enough from the turnbuckle and connected cleanly with his legs or back it was one of the flashiest and nicest finishers ever.

The guy had like 4 finishing moves: I've seen him finish matches, several times, with: - The Crippler's Crossface - The Diving Headbutt and - The German Suplex (Triple) - The Boston Crab The latter two were some kind of extended signature moves, which he also used to finish matches. It's a little bit like The Undertaker. He finished matches with The Tombstone, The Last Ride, but there were matches where he simply used The Chokeslam or Hell's Gate, too.

[@stevegallo8483]

First, the diving headbutt wasn't Benoit's finisher. That would be his Crippler Crossface submission move. Second, the late Harley Race said he regretted creating the diving headbutt, because of the damage it does to the person performing it. (Dynamite Kid and Chris Benoit are examples of the damage the diving headbutt can do to the person performing it, and I believe Brian Danielson's concussion history can be tied to his use of the move as well.) Also, you could have included Baliey's Bailey to belly suplex in this list. Not sure a belly to belly suplex counts as a finisher these days.

[@achimsinn6189]

Totally agree on the bailey to belly. Also because it doesn't even look that great as a belly to belly suplx. Especially if she performs it on bigger women like Nia Jax it looks more like Nia hugs her and then jumps up to perform the move on herself.

when you talk about "bad" finishers, there are really 2 types; the "not a finisher" and the "awkward". and it can be a narrow thing sometimes, the people's elbow was a heel taunt and the stunner is awkward as hell till the bounce became part of the sell.

[@ofs82]

Gigi's finisher was part of a fad for high-speed versions of pinning combinations being used as finishers. Kofi's SOS is a high-speed version of the Gannosuke Clutch, the Lightning Spiral/Paige Turner is a high-speed version of the V9 Clutch, and in his Tyler Black days, Seth Rollins used a Small Package Driver as his finish. I guess hers was meant to be a high speed version of a La Magistral cradle or a school boy perhaps.

[@TrolledBy]

Kind of like a standing crucifix driver. Which takes away both the crucifix and the driver when you do it while standing.

The Ozone/Playmaker is the perfect example of agents in the back trying to tell wrestlers what moves to use. Someone backstage clearly liked the move and wanted it used on air - they tried several times to get the move used by different wrestlers. Another one I remember hearing about was Stone Cold giving Mr Kennedy advice on dropping the MicDrop as his finisher because he thought it was a weak move for a someone who was planned on being a top guy at the time. There's interviews with Mr Kennedy where he'd speak about all the conflicting advice he'd be given backstage "do this, don't do that" by various parties and he'd often ignore the advice given.

I doesn't always have to be a choke slam or kung fu kick. I commend her for doing this. It's also different from Curt Henning, who uses a suplex into a pin

[@lilbearbjj]

The diving headbutt was a tribute to the dynamite kid and I don't care what anyone says, the bushwhackers were awesome

[@heraldberg9469]

The Goon had the weirdest wrestling boots ever, they looked like ice skates, and they made the Goon walk like he was bowlegged.

[@NorCalTC]

It wasn’t just the splash, the splash always followed the warrior press, where he pressed a man completely over his head. That takes a lot of power. Yes I know the opponent helps by pushing off the warrior’s shoulders, but still, try pressing one of your friends over your head lol

Benoit's diving CTE move really was something else...

[@cijmo]

I have watched wrestling for about 50 years and still enjoy it. Am able to suspend the disbelief and enjoy the show - even in this day and age where kayfabe really is only for the duration of the show. Something I always hated though was any "finishing move" that involves running across the ring a few times (Warrior Splash, Hogan Leg Drop, Peoples' Elbow, even 619 to some extent etc). I know the point is the show and the build up but I just like the moves that came out of nowhere.

[@ChargerBullet]

The point of running the ropes is because it builds momentum. Tito Santana's flying forearm crossbody splash is a thing of beauty and it wouldn't even look good if he didn't run the ropes.

[@cijmo]

@@ChargerBullet Anything moving forward would build momentum. You don't have to spring off the ropes a dozen times to drop a leg or elbow. It builds excitement (to those with short term memory problems ("gee, wonder what he's going to do now that he has torn off his t-shirt/thrown his elbow pad") but momentum? As a matter of fact you have to stop that momentum just to fall down.

[@jay.a.9683]

the moves out of nowhere are the best. as they can be hit outside, insside the ring. moves like, jbl clotheline from hell, the stunner, rko. however if anything the most realistic and do able finishing move out of nowhere would be hbk sweet chin music. simple but effective. sadly now though, the superkick is overused. much like the ddt.

[@ChargerBullet]

@@cijmo Yeah, the "people's elbow" was started just as a joke when The Rock was trying to come up with the silliest move to mess with the crowd at a house show. People cheered it the same way they do "the worm". The fact that Rock just stops before he drops the elbow and loses all momentum is part of the joke. But other wrestlers that run the ropes for momentum don't stop when they do the move. Imagine how silly Rey's 619 would look if he just stood there and tried to do it without a running start. And besides most finishers that run the ropes just do it once. Ultimate Warrior hit the ropes twice because it was part of his gimmick where he ran around the ring. The only other finisher that had the guy run the ropes more than one side was The Hart Foundation when Bret Hart did his running clothesline with Jim Neidhart. I'm sure there are others but that's all I can think of. The running movements add to the theatrics and action. Again, look at Tito Santana's finisher. He throws his opponent to the ropes and he runs the opposite end of the ropes and when they both swing back Tito does his flying forearm crossbody splash when they collide. It looked even cooler when he did it with Rick Martel as Strike Force.

[@B1N0COPS]

Warrior splash at the time was one of the best finishers back in the day some "Basic" moves were rly ecxiting, for that logic Powerslam was bad either because nowadays is a normal move we need to understand the time bro

[@FidelisSukina-ht4je]

How bout the Rocks peoples elbow despite him being over as a star and me being a huge fan always saw the peoples elbow as a wasted move even the rock bottom

[@urcookin]

People’s Elbow was usually after The Rock Bottom

[@sandoe41]

If I'm remembering correctly, Dwayne Johnson came up with the people's elbow move as part of a private contest between him and Steve Austin to make the Undertaker break character and laugh out loud.

The fact that Sebastian Booger didn't use the fisherman's suplex and call it the hook booger will haunt me forever.

One thing that is clear from these types of videos: Bad finishers would usually make fantastic signatures or set-ups for a better finisher.

[@eisenfaust0]

Wade Barrett’s wasteland was pretty awful too

[@damonsnow11]

I gotta say, I always thought Hogan’s leg drop was an awful finisher. To me, a finisher should be a move that’s mostly unique to that wrestler, and having a leg drop as a finisher would be like having a normal clothesline as one. It’d be a little different if Hogan at least did something different with his leg drop to make it more unique, but nope. It was just an average looking leg drop.

[@wfarmer1000]

[@rickatoni]

I'm a simple man. I see Bastian Booger I click video.

[@evyhaha]

You gotta realize wrestlers didnt do flashy moves in the 80’s so u have to give Warrior a break bcuz he is one of the greatest to ever do it and the bushwackers finisher wasnt supposed to be good because they were a comedy gimmick.

[@sera404]

I honestly thought Warrior's finisher was the gorilla press drop when I was a kid and looking back on it, it's only ever won a handful of matches without the warrior splash follow up haha

[@stu729]

Dude, the Bushwackers were just comedy team, nothing serious about them at all, and their 'finisher' was just a cherry on the top of it. It's almost specifically used like a meme would be. Cena's STF I put in the same category as The Rock's Sharpshooter: A good finishing move that was often (or usually) done in a sloppy fashion because it wasn't their signature with the F-U or the Rock Bottom. Also, bravo for adding the Buchnevich crosscheck on Marchand. I will never not love that moment the Rat's helmet went flying.

I got to say tho while you kind of right about the Bushwhackers Battering Ram I don’t think it really belongs on this list. The Bushwhackers were meant as as kind of clowns (in a positive way) in first place. Their whole Gimmick, behavior, appearance and ofc the wrestling style were meant to be comedic. And it worked perfectly. They were Fan Favorites for a reason
