Worst Finisher in WWE

[stinger]

I've seen several threads on the best finisher, but what do you think is the worst?

For me, it has to be JBL's "Clothesline from Hell." Seriously, a clothesline is his finishing move? A clothesline? Really? How many times throughout the course of any given match do guys take a clothesline with minimal effect? What is so different? Oh, yea, it's the clothesline from hell...I forgot.

Honorable mention goes to Edge's spear. Edge is capable of so much more innovative moves, but no...he tackles people. It just doesn't seem devastating. I'm sure it would hurt like the Dickens, but I think I could get up from a tackle. However, finely trained athletes are all but knocked out by it.

I don't know if it's the worst, but it seemed for a while that everyone used the Downward Spiral.

For the record, JBL takes their head off with that clothesline. There's alot more questionable moves the the Clothesline From Hell.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I agree with JBL's clothesline since everybody uses clotheslines, ESPECIALLY in WWE. Heck, it's been in most WWF/E wrestlers playbook since Vince bought the company from his dad.

I also agree on Edge's Spear, It looks weak to me. I prefer the Edgecution, which thankfully he does still use from time to time, but it never wins matches any more.

Is Cody Rhodes using a DDT? It's sad to say, but too many people use that as a mid-match move now. I can remember as a child that the DDT meant a sure fire win back when Jake Roberts and the Freebirds used it. Fans chanted for the move and it often came out of nowhere. Anyway, his DDT does not look special and sadly the move itself is hard to view as a finisher now.

Yea, okay, he takes their heads off. How is it different than any other clothesline?

The 619
Twist of Fate
Swanton
Pedigree
Anything Khali uses
Edge's Spear
Alabama Slam
Sliced Bread No 2
FU
Pump Handle Slam

Notice how most of these require lame set up.

Burchill's curb stomp sucks ass.

its an old school finisher. like stan hansen's lariat or nikita koloff's russian sickle.

its a hell of a lot better than the mizard of oz, that's for damn sure.

cody's DDT isn't very effective as well, but it beats dusty's big elbow drop. at least dusty jumped in the air and tried to make it seem vicious.

[The Harbinger of Tragedy]

The GTS and the FU are the big two for me.

[The Line]

I think people need to go watch a normal clothesline and then CFH. Two completely different variations. A normal mid-match clothesline is usually pretty weak and lame. JBL's is way more hard hitting(but not soft spoken ). The only other person in WWE I've seen hit a clothesline quite like JBL's lately(ie: the last 8 years) is probably Lesnar.

[Loser troll. Please ban me]

FU, and really as much as i dislike his character he deserves better then a tossing slam firemans carry(too late to change it now however, but with a small tweek it could look alot better)

The Worm: how a chop hurts ill never know

Hogans legdrop: please dont give me the well he's 300+ pouinds becuase i remember him easily kicking out of yoko's legdrop which i wadger was a tad heavier.

[skiller]

MVP's Overdrive.

That is all.

[shamana]

Edge's Spear and JBL's CfH are a bit weak for main-event wrestlers imo. The spear can be credible in tha hands of a much stronger (kayfabe) guy like Batista or Rhino, but with Edge it looks like a running hug and you need their partner to sell it like hell. The one Vicky got at NoC was one of the last good ones I've seen in quite a while

[Tyfo]

After almost 3 years, the STFU still makes me cringe. There is the rare moment when he will kind of twist on his side and make it look like it actually hurts.

But 99% of the time his hands are laying on the mat while the opponents head rests comfortably in his arms.

I don't know how many times I've yelled out loud, PULL BACK, at my screen when he puts it on.

[Pagan Warrior]

The Swanton bomb. Seriously, it looks like it hurts Hardy more than it does his opponet.

The STFU
The FU
The Playmaker
Edge's spear - Why doesn't he use that awesome sitout verison of the edgecution (needs a new name) from the SD! games instead?

Doesn't help that Hardy is like a buck twenty soaking wet with a brick in each pocket.

[Red 'n' Black Reggie]

MVP's started using the overdrive alot less now, which is a godsend because that move sucks almightly donkey dick.

other than that, most of the women have pretty crap finishers, and it often takes away from the matches. candice uses a standing bulldog, maria does a wierd looking top rope clothesline thing, i think maryse just kicks people.

i've never been a fan of the twist of fate, but the crowd loves it, so i suppose it's gotta stay.

Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase a DDT and what the hell is Ted's finisher
any running big boot as a finish

About the Clothesline from Hell, why hasn't anyone mentioned the three point stance as it's a clothesline as well.
