Seth & The Pedigree who else could use a 2nd hand finisher?

[The Lach is very tired]

I like the idea of older wrestlers passing the torch to a younger guy by giving them a finisher. Seth using the pedigree obviously makes sense storyline wise, but who else could benefit from having a new finisher given to them from a retired/semi retired guy.

I think Ambrose using a Stone Cold Stunner would fit his gimmick. Now that it seems whatever the supposed issues with Austin have been sorted out they could have Austin come out & endorse Ambrose against Rollins & The Authority, then Ambrose could start using the Stunner, it would work storyline wise with the history between Austin & Triple H as well.

I could also see either Rowan or Harper using the Tombstone Piledriver.

I think it tends to work better with heel finishers, since a Stunner might just make Dean look like a wannabe to some. Someone could stand to use the Million Dollar Dream/Cobra Clutch, as it's a simple but effective finisher, and fits the guidelines WWE tends to look for in a good finisher.
1. You get both faces pointed at the camera, helping it be dynamic.
2. You can do it on anyone.
3. You can reverse it or prevent it.

Also, you can BS people passing out to it, if you don't want them to tap, or you could use it to transition to a backbreaker or something to pin them with.

Ambrose needs to use the Headlock Driver as his second finisher, I miss it. He also needs to start using the Regal Stretch as a submission. Reigns also needs to switch up his Spear and Superman Punch every once in a while.

Oh yeah random point, Ambrose needs to stop using the Rebound Lariat in every single match, it's cool at times but I don't need to see it all the time. His opponents are stupid too, they need to make sure they watch when they toss that man to the ropes.

Since Big Zeke ain't around, maybe they could let Cesaro try using the Torture Rack?

I figure they might see it as too much like Nikki's, even if she usually does the drop and I don't think she goes for a submission with it, but Cesaro could certainly make use of the move.

I think they're getting a little better at having people counter it, but yeah he uses it way too much. And if you've seen Nigel McGuiness do it, Deans looks like dog shit

Remember the bomb known as "Nature Boy" The Miz? Using the Figure Four as his finisher. Yup prime example why babyfaces shouldn't copy another legends finisher after getting the torch by them. Rollins using the Pedigree ONLY works because they spent a whole year building up Rollins as The Authority's Pet Project and he's finally the WWE Champion.

[Instant Classic]

Give Baron Corbin the chokeslam.

Plus he's a heel, anyway, using a heel's finisher who they hate, what are they going to do, boo him for it?

Plus if Rollins ever turns babyface by turning on The Authority, it would be the perfect way to bring back The Curbstomp and the Pop would be f***ing huge. That's if WWE ever lifts the ban off the Curbstomp

Nikki's rack > Cesaro's.

[The Beast Disincarnate]

Roman should use the Rock Bottom and Ambrose the Stunner during the Shield triple threat that is bound to happen sooner or later.

[somsta]

Doesn't Ambrose already use Mick Foley's finisher?

Exactly this! Rollins using the Pedigree works because for a year he's been Triple H's chosen one. It makes sense. It'd be like if Triple H started using the Figure Four after years of being Ric Flair's on screen protege, as a tribute or a secondary finisher. But instead, we got Ric Flair showing up and Miz being given the Figure Four in what, the same show? Ridiculous.

Someone else mentioned Roman using the Rock Bottom. I could totally get that, given they're relatives and Rock's repeatedly given Roman his seal of approval. Their relationship's been built on screen for months. Just keep building it, showing Rock with him at SummerSlam or prepping him before some other big match. Then at WM:Star Roman can bust out the Rock Bottom. That'd be pretty sweet, and a nice change of pace from Punch->Spear->Punch->Spear all the time.

Sadly, I don't seem an organic way to make Stone Cold Dean's mentor, so no Stunner for him . Maybe he takes up DDP Yoga and have him buddy up with Page a lot and he uses the Diamond Cutter. Visually similar, right?!

[AJ Smudgico]

I'd love to see Orton use DDP's finisher

Did they say he gave him it? Since that'd be a little absurd, at least with Mick he admits he just took it, since he was sick of doing the apron elbow drop and needed a better finisher.

[Crimson]

I think Dolph Ziggler should pull the trigger and use the Super Kick exclusively has his finisher.

It seemed like that's what Scott Hudson was going for every time Bagwell did the move; trying to establish a connection between him and Kobashi. Which is of course ridiculous, but by that point, so was WCW.
