I'm voting for MVP's Overdrive, if he still even uses it.
If he doesn't, then I'll vote for Ricky Ortiz's gimpy running splash thing.
Now you, get on with it... GET ON WITH IT!

Yeah, Ortiz's splash is lame.
Also, I don't like DiBiase's Million Dollar Dream into a... Russian Legsweep. Unimaginative and boring.

That's not a finisher. Plus, it's awesome. I'd have to say Big Show's punch. I thought there was no closed fists in wrestling?  |

- Edge's spear (running hug), you got to be big and powerful to make a spear look devastating...Edge's spear sucks so much it makes his opponents look weak.
- GTS when it's done on a tall guy...well...when it's done to someone who's not John Morrisson.
- the 619 missile drop (i dunno how to call it) combo
- Morrisson's finisher is like MVP's overdrive, it looks absolutely not devastating.

Edge's Spear. hes far too small for it to look good. I agree - but recently it's been booked properly, e.g. unable to keep main event guys down for a pin on its own. Cena needed a Codebreaker and a 619 in the chamber before Edge's spear. You always expect the likes of Taker, Batista, HHH etc to kick out of it. When it's booked that way, it's fine - it's when he gets a pin against one of those guys with it (he did against Taker on a SD before WM24) that I have to call bullshit. |

I'd have to say Big Show's punch. I thought there was no closed fists in wrestling? When I was younger, I used to wonder what on earth Gorilla and Heenan were talking about when they talked about closed fists. As far as I could tell, both guys were punching the crap out of one another. |

As far as I could tell, both guys were punching the crap out of one another. Something about having your thumb inside or outside your fingers I think... I wish Ted used the Million Dollar Dream instead of turning it into a leg sweep, but a submission finisher these days? That's key to never becoming more then a JTTS. |

Gotta agree on what I've seen:
Edge's spear is totally mediocre, Goldberg's looked way better and that was still just the set-up for the jackhammer.
The Moonlight Drive wouldn't be so bad for an average guy, but a guy with Morrison's athleticism should show that athleticism with something sweet. It reminds me of the Styles Clash, when you look at the guy doing it you wonder why this is his finisher.
The GTS is fine as long as the victim isn't very big. Ya Morrison did take it like a champ. Against a Kane it looks meh and forced.
I gotta throw in Taker's choke, it's not a sleeper it's a choke, and as such should have been illegal from the start. Plus in reality rather than just flailing them a strong guys should be able to get his hands in some and move his neck a bit to keep preserve the airway somewhat.
Still gotta throw in Cena's Fireman's Carry of Doom, it's still a bunch of crap that this finished anyone better than a total jobber.

Agreed. Never liked it ... Anaconda Vice is better. He should bring it back. I read on here that he ditched it because Bob Holly refused to job to it. Snork him. |

Yah, I don't understand why they had Punk completely drop the Vice. It would be a good alternative finisher against guys too big for him to lift up for the GTS.
I'm also not a fan of Dolph Ziggler's jumping russian leg sweep. It puts more impact on himself than on his opponent. I don't think it would actually have any greater effect than a regular one.
