Why did punk stop using the Anaconda Vice ? I thought that was way more cooler than the go to sleep. The name "go to sleep" even sounds lame.

Well, the estate of "Whipper" Billy Watson disagrees with him using the Irish Whip. |

Because Punk doesn't work the neck/throat like Tenzan does during his matches

I think I read that one of the "producers" (aka road agents) suggested that he change his finisher to a non-submission that would be more exciting. My memory of the exact details is obviously sketchy.

i also believe the g2s is a very weak finish. it just doesn't look that great, especially for a guy like punk. i also thought the anaconda vice was lame. i want the pepsi plunge dammit!

Maybe it looks like a lame finisher since he isn't able to use it in his current feud with Henry/V. Nothing like a finisher that you can't do if you're not a daggone superman.
Anaconda Vice would be a nice "call back" finisher here or there, but a nice, easy flowing finisher would probably help.

Go-2-Sleep is a lame name, even if a japanese wrestler uses it, the move itself, is fine tho.

I liked the Anaconda Vice. G2S is alright, but he really needs something good to believably beat guys like BDV and Mark Henry. I mean guys like Michaels have SCM, Rey has the 619/Drop the Dime, RVD had the frog splash, HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED the Crossface...
I think he really needs to use the Vice every so often so it wouldn't be a shocker to the fans to see him win a match against a big guy with it. Or else develop something else.

I thought for sure I would see "Go 2 Sleep" in the Wrestlecrap book of list for worse name for an finisher.
But watching ECW and his matches the name fits.

Also I like it, granted it's not the most universal of finishers and he can't use it in his current feud against Henry and V (which I question anyway but chalk it up to Lagana not being happy over the Morrison thing), but it's still a very good finisher, has decent impact and when sold right, looks devastating. |

It's a striking move in puro. Some moves can translate well (like the Shining Wizard used by Helms or the Muta Lock used by Melina) but the GTS just does not translate well into pro wrestling. When KENTA does it, it looks really painful. When Punk does it, he just does it totally half-assed... |
