It's already been discussed about a theme.
What about his turrible turrible finishing move? They have to give him a new one. It looks awful, has no impact to it, and doesn't look like it hurts...at all.
Cool name, just looks like crap.
What move would you replace his current finisher with?

I'm betting WWE wishes it didn't hurt...they do have a certain main eventer on the shelf.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the move, myself, except for maybe the selling of it. I think weaker moves have been considered killer.

I still really kind of want to see him steal the Attitude Adjustment and Walls of Jericho, and openly acknowledge that he has. Besides, then there'd be a reason to call it the "FU" again.

I love the Wasteland, and can't think of many better finishers in the WWE today, particularly among the main eventers. I haven't understood the hatred for it since it first sprang up during NXT.
I think he could pull off a nice Awesome Bomb, though.

A couple of months ago at first, I was thinking he could do a brainbuster for a finisher. But maybe some of the other guys would have trouble taking it, since it is a direct head bump. So maybe a standing lariat for a finisher?

If he can do it, some form of TKO would be great.

He should do a running big boot or something. I dunno, all the good finishers are taken. Everytime I see a new NXT guy use a finisher I laugh because it's always the same thing, just a slightly different neckbreaker.

I sat steal the London Dungeon. If Punk could steal the GTS from KENTA, Barrett could steal the Dungeon from Wolfe.
If they want it to just be an impact move, Tyler Black isn't using God's Last Gift. And that move is BRUTAL.

He's hurt or almost hurt a few people with the Wasteland...Wade is sorta green. Not sure he's ready to pull an Awesome Bomb safely.
Mind you, Awesome was sort of clumsy and he did.

I was just thinking about this a few hours ago, and how about Barrett gets his opponent up for the Wasteland, and drops them, but on their way down, he knees them in the side. That would be BRUTAL!

It's a perfect power move for a big guy like Barrett. I don't see how picking someone up, toting them across your shoulders, and then slamming them into the mat 'doesn't have impact'.

He can use the the Overdrive or the Paydirt since the last 2 guys who used the moves are longer there.

People also forget that because of the arm grip, it also is supposed to have the effect of potentially yanking the guy's arm out of its socket as Wade throws them. This is why we need commentary to put over the move the way it had to be used to put over Mankind's Mandible Claw. Had JR not gone on and on about Dominic DeNucci and the "Soft Tissue", everyone would have just said "Why is he sticking his fingers in the guy's mouth?" and it wouldn't have got over at all.

I hate the name "Wasteland", but I love the move. He MAKES it. The look on his face, and the scream he delivers before planting the guy.

Barrett's finisher looks like it hurts like hell. It definitely looks more painful that the Attitude Adjustment. And hell, he legit hurt Cena with the move so it must hurt. Does have a cool name too.
