Last time a finishing move was used to put over talent ?

[OneLoneSapper]

I would think that every superstar for any company that is debuting with a push behind them uses a finishing move to get put over. Ryback did it with shellshock. The Shield has the three man powerbomb. Everyone who debuts strong gets over at least a little bit because of their finisher.

Every wrestler has a finisher...it's huge part psychologically of any match vs any quality opponent. Most top wrestlers have a set finisher but also have a set of moves, at least 2 or 3, maybe more, that they use in every match to pop the crowd.

If the move isnt viewed as effective or nexciting by the audience then it hurts the wrestler. A wrestlers without a well know and well established finsisher is a guy with a well established identity.

"WHAT YOU DON'T DO, Sheamus, is use a signature move (Brogue) to replace your regular finisher (Celtic Cross), all of a sudden and then subject us to Booker and ADR's weeks and weeks of hyping up a move that you did ALL THE TIME, without much effect."

As usual the IWC people make stuff up. The Celtic Cross DID NOT REPLACE THE BROGUE KICK, it is still a signature move.

A technical wrestler with a sweet submission finisher and a powerhouse with an impact finisher is like pop-fodder. Kurt Angle's Ankle Lock had that effect. I mean the standing, sitting then grape-vine was amazing and just sold the man's ruthlessness.

Brock's Kimura has done that recently as well.

The last powerhouse move that really stood out was, again, Brock's F-5. I rememebr to the leadup to SS 2002. The F-5s on Mark Henry and Rikhishi got a major major pop. One of those 'holy crap' moments.
