I've seen lots of threads on here about good/bad finishers, or who needs a new finisher etc. In fact, I was reading the thread about CM Punk needing a new finisher when I thought of a few questions, and I thought you guys might be able to provide answers.
Why do some wrestlers change finishers so often?
HHH has used the Pedigree for his entire WWE career, same with Cena and the AA. During the same ammount ot time, Big Show has used the chokeslam, alley-up powerbomb, collossol clutch, knockout punch, spear and a few others I can't remember. Edge has had several finishers, so has Jericho. They all seemed to fit well with their original finishers, so why change them?
Why does each 'generation' of wrestler seem to utilise similar finishers?
Look at wrestling throughout fairly recent history and you will find lots of people using very similar finishing moves.
2009-Present - David Otunga, Ezekiel Jackson and now Mason Ryan all have that modified side slam.
2005-2009 - Batista, JBL, Swagger, Lashley, Undertaker and others used variations of a powerbomb.
2002-2005 - Not a particular move for this time period, but during this time submission finishers were all the rage. Angle, Beniot, Jericho, Flair, Steiner, hell, even the Rock would regularly use the sharpshooter during this time to win matches!
1999-2002 - Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, among others all used the chokeslam.
So, over to you.....
