Everyone on Edge but I like the Edge u cator. The edge o matic was weird. I’m sure he had others.
I think Paige’s name worked best.
The Paige turner (a spinning based slam)
Rampage
Pto - Page tap out. Not a page pun but works well with the initials

The "day job" gimmicks lent themselves so well to this. You could spend all day coming up with good move names for a clown, a mortician, a country music singer, etc.

Hard to beat The Razor's Edge. Perfect name that also even fit the style of the move.
At the time I remember thinking they missed the boat not giving Carlito a finisher called Carlito's Way. I felt vindicated recently when on his podcast Rene Dupree said that Christian told him the same thing when shooting the shit backstage.

I like double entendre ones such as...
Cesaro's "neutralizer" comes to mind, both in the sense that he's taking out his opponents and being from Switzerland, the country that's known for it's neutrality.
Also, Sasha Banks - The Bank Statement.

I am unsure if Jericho has ever said that this was intentional, but I love that the Judas Effect requires him to turn his back on his opponent.
Also funny to me is that it took the move to WWE for him to name a move "The Walls of Jericho", a Biblical reference, along with that not even being something that was obvious. Didn't Jericho have some sheet of paper covered with a ton of different potential names he's shown before?

Maybe you could call that pizza guy "The rolling pin" if he starts winning by role-up all the time.

One of the players has a character named "Tony the Milkman", and basically the whole gimmick is making as many milk puns as possible during his segments. As for his finisher, it's a variation of the Boston Crab, I believe, called "The Full Churn". Too bad the character was killed off in the second season finale, because an impact move called "The Pastureizer" would've been hilarious and definitely would've made everyone else crack up. |
