What WWE Wrestler Needs a New Finisher

[Pickle]

Kozlov's headbutt finisher has got to go.

No. Absolutely not! At least not yet anyway. He can't abandon the Headbutt Of Death until he faces a Samoan. Super headbutting an unheadbuttable Samoan would cause a second big bang to occur between the heads of the two behemoths, creating a new universe where wrestling sucks slightly less.

Also, I agree with whoever said Santino should develop a submission finisher during which he could talk smack and crack jokes. It makes sense to find a way that he can incorporate more talking into his matches, considering it is his biggest strentgh.

After last night, Chris Jericho needs a new one. Punk was in the Walls of Jericho for about 10-15 seconds and didn't tap. What kind of an excuse of a hold is that? It doesn't even have the angle or bridge that the Liontamer do as it's now just a Boston Crab, not the elevated kind that it used to be. Jericho needs to move to the Codebreaker full time. It's quick, it's devastating and it could be used to beat a face. No legit face is going to tap out to a simple Boston Crab, making it completely unbelieveable as a hell finishing move.

Jericho actually has gone back to the original "Liontamer" finishing submission hold. He only uses it "boston-crab-like" when he's not going to have anyone tap out.

I think that's stupid, as it easily gives away when he will and won't win the match via that hold.. but overall, he actually has went back to the Liontamer as his main submission finisher. I think he only had Punk in a "crab" because he wasn't designed to win with it. Personally, I think he could've put him in the Tamer version, only for J.B.L. to "just barely" make the save for Punk.. it would've created more crowd reaction than "Oh, it's just the crab he won't win".

Jericho needs to move to the Codebreaker full time. It's quick, it's devastating and it could be used to beat a face. No legit face is going to tap out to a simple Boston Crab, making it completely unbelieveable as a hell finishing move.

The Codebreaker was his "face" finishing move, so I'm unsure if he could still use it as a "heel" move as well. Granted I wouldn't see why not, and it's definately a move that could come from out of nowhere.. hell, it countered Sweet Chin Music, and that move isn't really the type of move that's easily countered INTO.

Jeff hardy needs to lose the twist of fate as it damages matt hardy finisher credibility. As he often goes for the swanton bomb after it. So maybe he should stick the Swanton but do a pre finisher instad of a worldwide known finisher. Something like that front suplex he does.

i think CM punk needs a new finisher. let him use his little pedigree from the top rope (especially since trips is on smackdown now). that, or how bout letting him use everyone elses finisher. it's something they have never done but i would love to see someone win every match by using their own finisher against them. this is probably more fitting for a heel since it can come across as more cocky and arrogant, but it could show the versatility and athleticism of someone like punk to beat someone with their own move.

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

Jayo133, I like your idea, but if Punk were feuding with JBL or Batista, how do you expect him do the moves? Would a clothesline from hell coming from Indy Punk be believable? I don't think so.. I'd love to see him Batista bomb Big Dave. Ha!

I think Punk needs to drop the GTS.. He really does.. Unless he went heel and put a steel plate in his knee pad. But, it's simple.. Have him go back to using the vice..

 

[jayo133]

-lol, yeah i guess it would be a lil akward to have punk giving the undertaker a tombstone, maybe its not for him, but at least you get the idea. and yeah, the vice does need to make a return, why did he stop using it in the first place.
-that bourne guy DEFINATELY needs a new finisher, that shooting star press of his is just plain ugly. (yes, that was a joke people)
-and I like the idea of Santino with some kind of submission type hold that allows him to talk some smack. surely he has some MMA move up his sleeve.

theres loads of wrestlers that need new finishing moves.
john cena= fu its just a death valley driver (it was perry saturn (rememeber him) move in wcw apart from the rings of saturn)
vlad kozlov= a headbutt. come on please!!!!
cody rhodes= a ddt. maybe in the jake roberts era yeah but not now
ex wwe star chris masters= a full nelson

we need like a good move like something original
like umaga could do like a vader bomb off the second rope or even mark henry could do that
an william regal used to do the regal stretch way before john cena stole it to become the stfu

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

While I do not like the FU, it can not be changed. The casual audience believes it. When Cena hits an FU, it's over. It's really just a glorified fireman's carry, but then again, Hogan finised everything with a leg drop.

And yes, of course, Cody needs a new finisher. If he is feuding with Batista and Cena, can you really expect ether of them to fall to a ddt? I think he should use a Crossface Chickenwing. Awesome move.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gLz5QCyLPo

Kozlov's headbutt works to show his strength. Not to mention he is beating SUper Crazy and Steven Richards. Big deal. Khali does a chop to the head.

 

[tehblogger]

Festus needs a new one. What, he dances around the ring for a bit and then plonks his knees down on either side of the guy's body? Please. It just looks SO, SO FAKE, every, EVERY time.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Paul Birchill. The curb stomp is okay, but is really more suited as a signature move than a real finisher. The twisted sister is kind of bland too. He needs something a bit more unique than a neckbreaker (albeit, a bit more impactfull one, but still nothing special).

 

[dragondragon]

Paul Burchill. His curbstomp is weak.It should be a reverse indian deathlock surfboard with a stomp to the back of the head,but he just grabs the opponents hair and pulls their head a couple inches off the mat and stomps.It doesnt look good at all.And his other finisher,some sort of neckbreaker I think,is nothing special either.

 

[leby_uk]

paul burchills curbstomp i quite like, i jsut think wrestlers cant like pull the move of to a better effect, For example the candian destroyer looks awsome coz its on wrestlers who can pull it off with him.

But a persons finisher who should change is MVPs kick thing, im not into
finishers being kicks its just boring and not that effect to be honest.

Just imagine a great wrestling match egtting finished by one simple kick :S

 

[AFC1986]

I think that Cody Rhodes needs to change his finisher as most wrestlers on the WWE roster use the DDT as a regular move

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Anyone with a DDT or Neckbreaker as a finisher seriously need to do something. Utilizing a neckbreaker ain't gonna put you over. Not everyone can have the People's Elbow, but geez, try to stand out a little eh? By the way, do WWE have any say in what people's movesets should be like or what finisher they should use?

 

[FromTheSouth]

Kicks and Neckbreakers are better finishers than clotheslines. JBL's clothes line relies on someone way over selling. I think he should get some kind of powerbomb or slam.

On the same lines, Edge's spear is cool looking, but it is not a finisher. I like how it can come out of nowhere, but I would prefer it come out of nowhere to turn the tide of a match than end it. The Impaler is a cool variation of the DDT and could serve as a finisher.

 

[DeadmanFan]

Vladimir Kozlov. The guy looks to have solid wrestling ability (although we'd need to see a match that actually lasts longer than five minutes to know what he's really capable of). But he needs a real finisher, that headbutt that he's been using just ain't gonna do it.
