Invent a finisher

[sdoyle7798]

So, this thread came about because of a move I used to think could be done, and, in a different thread, me mentioning the power slam type move Earthquae used to use (where he's also land on them).

As a kid, I used to think someone should be able to do a bodyslam DDT. Allow me to explain:

I would see Earthquake pick up someone in a bodyslam position. He would then take his arm by the guy's head and wrap it around the back of their neck, before rotating and slamming them with him on top of them.

With his arm in that position, it looked like he could kind of just fall to his side and drop them on their head in a DDT style move.

Now, obviously for a guy like Earthquake, the slam was clearly the better move. And looking at it now, I don't know how you could do a "bodyslam DDT" safely. But, as a kid, I always wanted someone to do it.

That was my invented finisher. Now, it's your turn.

Show me what ya got!

When I was a kid, my Omega Red action figure had a finisher where he'd put his head between his opponents legs like he was going to take a powerbomb, but instead stand up and lift his opponent onto his back like he was going to backdrop him, all the while holding onto his ankles to keep him from sliding off. Then he'd pull down on his opponent's ankles while bending forward and snap him over onto his back. Was pretty devastating, especially when compared to his tag partner Apocalypse's finisher which was just a powerslam.

The 225, top rope move where the person does a half flip and lands their back on the lying opponent.

Named as it's half the rotations of a 450

So like an Alabama Slam?

Am I picturing it right?

Dammit.  I forgot that move exists. 

Regardless, Omega Red did it first.

Raised nipple-twist submission where a wrestler nipple-twists his opponent and lifts him high up until the other guy has no choice but to submit or risk not having nipples for the rest of his life....

Bob Holly stole it from him.

I saw him scouting Red's matches while he was stil Sparky Plugg.

I have no idea what you call this, and undoubtedly a Joshi has already done it, but start with a camel clutch style position, put your opponent's arms on a shoulder, and then pull back by their shoulders which puts pressure on the elbow joints.

Canadian backbreaker dropped into a side slam.

[Soultastic]

TKO but instead of tossing the opponent's legs to the back, you do an F5 like throw and spin into the cutter.

Remember the sleeper drop that Billy Gunn did from time to time?

Picture that, but instead of the sleeper, it's set-up with the Taz(z)misson/Redrum.

Do you put them to sleep then slam them?

That mean!

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Someone already did this but I thought I'd bring it up because it fits the 'inverted' bill...

In the early years of Toryumon, Susumu Yokosuka had a move where he'd whip someone to the ropes, stand in their path as they bounced back and launch them upward, then catch their chin on his shoulder as they came down and 'sit out'.

So, like a Stunner but facing the opponent instead of facing away.

Toryumon used to show a clip of this move in the opening of their shows.


EDIT: I am wrong. I found it on YouTube, and the setup I said was totally wrong, but it pretty much ends the same.

It's at about 17 seconds in...

I'm surprised this hasn't been a spot sat some point.

When my best friend and I played "pro wrestling" as kids, his older brother came up with a move he called the Ax Grinder. He locked you in a waistlock from behind while you were in a sitting position and just thrashed you from side to side as violently as he could until you gave up.

Had one OC who had a gutwrench suplex into tombstone landing. Only somewhat based on a bad landing when a friend failed to pick me up properly while wrestling on a trampoline.

I have always thought about Backstabber variations. Full Nelson Backstabber, Implant Buster lift into a Backstabber.

[Fundertaker]

The Pretzel Lock - A Chickenwing Dragon Sleeper with legs bent and crossed but restrained by the applier's leg

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

When I play wrestled with my friends, I had two finishers that at the time, I thought I revolutionarily made up

One was a Tazzmission that transitioned into a Rock Bottom

And the other I called the "Mega Spider Hold", a Grapevined Leg Cross where I back bridged into an arching Chin Lock. Turns out this was the Muta Lock, I never saw it before, I literally just did it myself lol

So, to the ribs?

If done safely, I like that one.
