How can people possibly like the RKO? It's the lamest finisher going. It's like a second rate stunner.

The RKO is actually a cutter not a stunner, a stunner shoves the opponents throat into your shoulder but a cutter smashes their face off the ground.

To be technical, The Stunner is a form of a Jaw Breaker, as the RKO is a 3/4 Neckbreaker

 

[Yaszie_123]

How can you people say RKO is the worste!!!

 

[Kitty]

The Widow's Peak is devastating. I love that move. Worst is the Worm.

 

[Deadman walking]

Best - Tombstone, Pedigree, F5, That move that Paul Burchill does.

Worst - FU, Edge's gay spear, Hogans leg drop was and still is pathetic, manible claw

Yeah its a form of jawbreaker your right, the RKO is a jumping cutter .

The Widow's Peak is devastating. I love that move. Worst is the Worm.

That's a good one and may actally be the best.

 

[Give Praise To Jesus]

Best Finisher: The Vertabreaker (once used by Gregory (Shane) Helms in WCW, now used by Homicide in TNA), The Canadian Destroyer, The C-4 (Paul Burchill's finisher), The Green Bay Plunge (Mr. Kennedy's old finisher)

Worst Finisher: Samoan Spike, Masterlock, The Worm, Left Hook (used by Johnny B. Badd and Mark Jindrak), etc.

I think something that people fail to realize about The People's Elbow is that the move wasn't meant to be taken seriously. It seems like it was put out there to parody finishers like Hulk Hogan's Atomic Leg Drop, and it also put over The Rock as the conceited, third-person speaking character that he was.

 

[Give Praise To Jesus]

Oh, yes. I agree wholeheartedly with anyone who says that the Powerbomb and DDT are overrated finishers. There was a time in WWE where practically everyone used a finisher that was a variation of one of those moves. It was ridiculous!

 

[jeremiah_young]

Worst

Cena's FU (IE Fireman's Carry....normal wrestling moves aren't finishers.)
Warrior's Big Slash
The Samoan Spike
Benjamin's T-Bone (see Cena)
Hogan's Leg Drop
Peoples Elbow
The Worm



The Best
Mandible Claw
Tombstone from Taker
Big Show's Choke Slam is always wicked on smaller guys
DDP's Diamond Cutter
the Cross face
the Sharpshooter
The Razor's Edge
Stunner
Widow Peek
Shooting Star
the F5 was good.

Yeah but the thing is like the Worm...he actually pinned people witht he elbow

 

[Rowheart]

The People´s Elbow is an "Faint Leg Drop Elbow Drop". So like you said Give Praise to Jesus it's an parody on Hulk Hogans finisher. You see when The Rock lifts up the leg just before the elbow drop? It's him going for an legdrop before he falls down into an elbow drop.

How are the worm and the People's Elbow any different. And yes, the elbow WAS meant to be taken seriously. He even used it as his finisher, including (IIRC) against Hogan at Wrestlemania.

 

[Give Praise To Jesus]

At least The Rock would usually hit a pretty powerful move before he went for The People's Elbow - usually either Rock Bottom or a spinebuster. As for Scotty 2 Hotty, The Worm was usually preceded by a weak-looking face plant. Does anyone honestly believe that move would leave the person incapacitated long enough for Scotty to hit The Worm?

 

[Trezadave]

Best Gotta Be The Pedegree
Worst Gotta be Between Samoan Spike and Hogans Leg Drop

 

[darcoyle]

Get the fuck, the RKO is a shit hard move to pull off, id like to see you jump and have your back horizontal about 6 foot in the air. It can be done anywhere, anytime. compare it to the diamond cutter or the stone cold stunner. wins hands down. hardest of all three to do. Just watch orton vs benoit summerslam 04 or even better the following nite on raw. Perfect RKO

 

[darcoyle]

Yeah its a form of jawbreaker your right, the RKO is a jumping cutter .

Its a diamond cutter like DDP did only orton jumps in the air when he does it. It was triple h and flairs idea cause they knew randy could jump high. Orton says that himself on randyortonweb.com in an interview you can download that he did on english radio

 

[tek2k]

i really can't believe all the hate for the FU. i bet it's just because it's cena's finisher. if it was someone elses you guys wouldn't even mention it.

 

[realblackhart]

Best (some of the best) total elimination,tazmission sharpshooter, chicken wing, shooting star press mandible claw before socko, impaler, bonzai drop (how do you get up from that), The Vertebreaker (i wish they' let helms use it, he's banned fromusing it)
Worst: the thumb by Umaga, the claw from kergan, american dream (elbow to head), all of the Ultimate Warrior's moves, the gorrila press slam and the splah after it, Whoopee Cushion, Delphin clutch , the goon's move (he was to beat up to come back in the ring he could only win by countout), master lock, torture rack, crush's heart punch

 

[J-Slim]
