*Styles*: "OMG!!! THE COOCHIE-CANRANA" That was one of my favourite exchanges in the dying days of ECW. But I have to correct you, it was Joel Gertner who coined the Coochiecanrana. I have the routine committed to memory. Gertner: Here it comes...Coochiecanrana! You know...Coochielibre! She's a Coochidore! Styles: Joel enough with the coochie. Gertner: Shows what you know. You can never have enough coochie. Ba-dum-ching!!! This reminds me of when Joel asked Styles if Balls Mahoney had a sister named Clitori Mahoney.

I've always been of the mindset that every finisher name should be tailor-made after the wrestler's pubic region. But, then again, I have a feeling Vince Russo is my genetic father.

Do you often have the urge to turn on your friends and family then go back on it two weeks later and act like nothing happened? Do you have an irrational hatred of Japanese and Mexicans? Do you make wild exaggerations about how good you are at your job? Do you have an unhealthy fixation with poles?

Imagine Michael Buffer announcing Christy Hemme.
"She is the master of the Flying Firecrotch Guillotine..."
No.
Actually, I think "How would Michael Buffer sound saying it during intros?" should be the litmus test for finisher names.

Him saying either that or The Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Credenza makes me crack up.

And I think Hulk Hogan is a bald-headed son of a bitch who can kiss my ass.

But the greatness of Michael Buffer is that he can make almost anything or anyone sound tremendously serious and important. If even Michael Buffer saying it couldn't make it sound anything other than ridiculous, it doesn't work.

Does anyone have a YouTube video where Gail Kim's finisher was actually called the Happy Ending? I'll admit that I didn't watch TNA every week back when she was around, so I may have missed it. But from my memory, I don't remember them ever calling her finisher that. In fact I've never heard anyone call it that outside of this forum. Her finisher looked like an Air Raid Crash to me, and I think Tenay called it something generic like a sideways slam.
Anyway I'm not saying it wasn't called that... I'm just saying I never heard it called that. If someone has a video link, it would clear up its "fact or fiction" status for me.

It was a Straight-jacket Neckbreaker. 2:10

I see the neckbreaker move that she's using in the video, and I don't think I've seen her use that on TV... again though, I didn't watch every week so I probably missed a few other things too. But just so I know I'm not crazy though, at least the video does show the Air Raid Crash as her other finisher. That is the finisher that I saw her use a few times.

IMO they should keep the finisher name but give her the nickname "The Burning Sensation" if they haven't already. Hell, Curryman should steal that for a moniker.
