The Wasteland Injured Orton?
He has been using the Bossman Slam, for a few weeks now.
IMO I love it as a finisher, always have loved the move. I was just starting to warm up the wasteland, but for the longest just thought it was weak
So do you think he is using because he injured orton?

It's probably because the WadeSlam looks weak as hell.

It's probably because the WadeSlam looks weak as hell. It only looked devastating on Evan Bourn |

Not sure if that is the reason but the Black Hole Slam (as I know it) is a far better Finisher, and can be done on the run.

I think he's just going to have alternating finishers like Rhodes. We've seen Rhodes winning lately with the Beautiful Disaster, it's probably the same thing. I'd like if Barrett "sealed" the Wasteland and only uses it on opponents he really wants to destroy similar to Orton's punt personally.

No, they probably finally realized that the Wasteland just isn't the best looking finisher.

As much as I like The Wasteland, the Winds of Change is a much better finisher. It can come out nowhere too, looks great and looks like it'd hurt.

The Wasteland was hard for me to even consider decent unless done on the concrete or something of that nature.. I do wish he would put a little more power into it like Abyss does |

I don't have a problem with the Wasteland. It's a 6'5" man holding you on his shoulders, pulling back, and slamming you on your back/side. That's enough to take you out for at least 3 seconds. But the Winds of Change can be used on larger opponents so I understand why he changed it.

Probably because it didn't make sense to have the Black Hole Slam as a 2-count move when it looks cooler than Wasteland.

But his Bossman slam is sweet. I just prefer wasteland bc it's more original. |

Maybe it's because I'm tiny and the thought of someone very tall and strong slinging me onto the floor makes me wince, I'unno. |

Also the Winds of Change looks like it can come out of nowhere unlike the Wasteland where you know whats coming, its a match changer
