I still remember the period where we didn't know what Carlito's finisher was. He mostly won with rollups when he started.
And I miss the old Liontamer. I'd like to see another wrestler adopt that as a finisher.

Guys... it was a punch... This reminds of me when I was watching an episode of Velocity with a friend. Scott 2 Hotty was wrestling 'em and Jindrak had just hit him with his punch finisher. My friend mockingly goes "Well, this one is over". ..Sure enough..he won the match with a punch. We stared in awe for a moment before bursting into laughter.

I dont know if it was "changed" so much as it was de-powered, but, the Mandible Claw was once feared and is now pretty much a comedy move.

I think Thorne's finisher has changed every time I see him wrestle

Poor explanation but that move was brilliant, i loved that move, i really really really wish he would use that again. I know the simple punch or knee strikes are more 'tough british' but i prefer civilised sterotypical blueblood Regal and that move fit

I'm pretty sure Nova used it a couple times, too. I marked for the Running Knee also, and I long for the day where he wraps Cena in the Regal Stretch and screams "THIS is a submission hold you bloody twit!" till the monkey-faced idiot is screaming and soils himself.

Regal Cutter was a hot move. I always liked it. Even gave it as a finisher to my Psychocita CAW.

How about Jake's Kneelift that turned into one of the greatest finishers ever, The DDT. Hate to geek on you but the short arm clothesline was the set up for the DDT.

MVP had a kickass kick to the face for a finisher in DSW, then got it changed to the Overdrive once he got called up.

The Complete Shot clause typically only applies to established wrestlers who, for some reason, want to change their finisher but dont have any ideas for a new one.

The FU changed from a Death Valley Driver to a Fireman's slam. When Brock first unleashed the F5, it looked devestating but it seemed he lightened it later. I could never pinpoint the change, though. Maybe I just got used to seeing it? I think you just got accustomed to it, because botches aside, it's not really something you can really lighten.

I've decided this thread lacks some serious Nova. So without further ado...
Moves as Nova - Kryptonite Krunch - Super Kryptonite Krunch(?) - Novacaine - Spin Doctor - Kryptonite Dust - Kryptonite Bomb - Deep Impact - Nova Blast - DDT ² - Scream Machine - Sledge-O-Matic - Smash Mouth - Elevator Drop - Third Degree Burn - Nova Missile - One-Armed Bandit
Moves as Hollywood Nova - Atomic Leg Drop
Moves as Simon Dean - Simonizer
Not sure how many of these were finishers, but he seemed to have more moves than entire federations today.
