What WWE Wrestler Needs a New Finisher
- Thread starter jamesjd66

I think the 619 needs to go. it's too predictable of a move, and it leads into an even less effective finisher.
I think the way Edge sets up for the spear makes it an effective finisher. Although it's not all about set up. The way he hit it on Rey at the Royal Rumble was one of his better spears. Next to spearing Hardy while hanging onto the belt.

Edge definetly needs a new finisher, c'mon the spear suits a big built guy like a Goldberg, Lashly, Rhino etc but Edge isnt a powerhouse like them so in reality it shouldnt have the same or more affect. Edgecution was good so he should use that again or get a new one. That Edgucator submission didnt suit him in my opinion as he isnt the type of wrestler to do submissions and work on ppls legs. Snitsky definetly needs an original power finisher or soon hes career will be over. MVP im sure he will have a new one soon because he still is pretty new. Kane needs something different if he wants a push

Mick Foley in the air is the organic equivalent to a lead balloon. I agree that the Mandible Claw is not good really at all. Cornette's idea for it made it cute for Mankind's angle, but got stale fast.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with Cactus Jack's Double Arm DDT, honestly. I think that's a great finisher. Other than the fact that everyone and their mother kicks out of it.
I'd like to see Jeff Hardy get a submission finisher. Something like the texas cloverleaf Dean Malenko used to use would be good for him.
If they want to push MVP into the main event sometime soon, they need to give him something new. that one he has now just looks weak.

Jeff Hardy had one in TNA I think it was called the Spine Bind. He used it once since his redebut to WWE. I would actually like to see it more.

Actually it was called the Spine Line (Which is a cloverleaf with an armlock) but its not a well known move so it doesn't matter. Yeah i would like him to use that move again as well because it looked cool and very effective as well. Also i think that they need to give Kane a new finisher because the undertaker and big show use it as well and they can't really change them. But then again then there wouldn't really be a double chokeslam anymore but still.

the miz his finisher is good but need something else i see it as a signature move instead of a finisher but it is better than the one he had before

Booyaka 619
MVP needs something like a halo neckbreacker( a swinging neckbreaker off the top rope) and Edge needs to use the top rope DDT. His spear is good, but not much impact. i think the miz should use the fameasser. Jeff Hardy, I think is perfectly fine. Umage needs a splash and the throw up samoan drop as his finisher, not the stupid ass spike.

Triple H! After all of these years almost all of the older wrestlers have picked up a few new moves. Micheals uses a new variation of the Figure 4, Undertaker is choking people out and other various submissions, but Triple H has stayed with that Pedigree. He needs a submission move to add a new level of feriousity.
Well Triple H did the Indian Deathlock while he was in Evolution a couple of times and it looked painful. Triple H doesn't look like the type that would benefit from having a new submission finishing move.
As for my input to this thread again, I think that The Miz does need a new finishing move. The reality check looks as if it could be botched easily and it doesn't look effective. The Miz looks like he'd be suited with the Fameasser/Rocker Dropper as someone said previously.
the one problem i see with alot of the moves people are saying. is that they are moves they did in the indy circuit. people will do anything in the indies cause they want to be seen. in wwe they have to protect themselves and others alot more. thats why there is no more piledrivers, 450s, etc... in wwe anymore.
the finishers they are gonna be able to use are finishers that past superstars have used, like a torture rack. alot of the finishers people dont like also involve guys not knowing how to sell them properly. like punk and the GTS, half the guys in the back really dont sell it like they should. such as kenny, i think he is great and in matches with cm punk he sold the move perfectly. unlike guys who stand there and make punk really try and bring the knee all the way up to their face.
the main thing i would worry about is why certain people have multiple finishers, such as batista & jericho. like jerichos code breaker would be perfect for a guy like elijah burke. give him the expirence into the corner and when he turns around double falling knee to the face. i think right now a guy like shelton is in a good place to become a very good submission superstar. give him something new and fresh and let him become a suplexing submission machine like benoit.

Personally I think CM Punk needs a new finisher. He's a great wrestler with a unique look and is over with the fans but the "GTS" just looks like shit. I understand that dropping a guy on your knees from above your head is supposed to put them out of commission but to me it looks bad and doesn't fits Punks persona. I think he needs a new "fast" finisher, and I also think he should have a secondary submission finisher.

i think the great khali should get a new finisher, his vice grip is a sucky submission finisher move and really unrealistic. i mean c'mon now, if you got smash like that just elbow him right at the nut lol

After smackdown tonight I have to go with MVP. He went for the playmaker on batista and I was thinking that it would just look completely weak. Maybe some kind of suplex move?
MVP, plain and simple. He needs that playmaker/overdrive tossed out the window. Maybe a top rope fame-asser would be more to his persona, or some kind've DDT variation. no stupid neck breaker variation, we see too many of those! For the DDT, I'd give him that "snap" DDT Lita did. That move was sick! Also CM Punk either needs to find a way to pull of that GTS better, go back to the Anaconda Vice, or simply have the superkick as his finisher. That knee to the face in the corner may even work.

I agree with others here that CM Punk should once again use the "Anaconda Vice" as a finisher. There is a lack of submission holds in wrestling these days. With the popularity of MMA, I would think that submission finishers would work well in pro-wrestling again.
As far as Kennedy is concerned, I would have him borrow a move from his idol Stone Cold Steve Austin. I would like to see Kennedy use the "Stunner" as a finisher. That being said, I do like the "Mic Check" as his finish. I just like a "Stunner" better. It's time for a WWE wrestler to use that move again, and there is no one more appropriate than Kennedy to pay tribute to his idol by using Austin's finisher.

I think punk really needs to bring back the vice or the pepsi plunge. Maybe he could have the vice as a finisher and the plunge as a signature move. MVP needs a new finisher

I think Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Kennedy......... KENNEDY!, needs a new finisher. He has power and needs a good submission finisher or a different kind of DDT type move. Maybe a double arm DDT like mick foley used. I am not a fan of the Mic Check.
I would also like to see Rey Mysterio get a new one. He is now on Raw and is apparently a main eventer. So he needs a more powerful move. I know 619 is who he is but change it please!

MVP, hands down. He has got everything else, but his finisher is terrible and takes forever to set up and execute. I think the boot in the corner and a good submission finisher would do him just fine. I see him as the kind of guy that he puts the hold on and you just know it's over.

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Definately agree on the 619. It's a great set up move for something, but Rey just doesn't have the size to do much. He's never been an off the top rope kind of guy either. I kind of liked the springboard legdrop he did for awhile.
As for Kennedy, I'm split on it. I'm not huge on the Mic Check, but it's better than nothing I guess. My main issue with Kennedy is that he's changed finishers time and tiem again, and now he's finally sticking with something. For now I think we're stuck with it. As for another person that needs a new one, I'd go with Kozlov. His offense is great, very high impact all over the place, but his finisher is a weak looking reverse DDT. It's like Umaga using all those moves he has, then finishing with a Spike. Just a letdown.

The thrill is gone...and so am I
To be honest, I'm not sure Kozlov's settled on a finisher just yet. He's used three different ones in his short stint. In his very first match, he used a backbreaker rack but quickly abandoned that for the scoop reverse DDT. Recently he's used the battering ram on his opponents in mid-air for the win, and the battering ram (glorified headbutt) looks weaker than the scoop reverse DDT. Plus that move's not going to come in play against bigger opponents that don't leave their feet. Personally, I like the backbreaker rack...it's sick looking and no one else is using anything like that at the moment.

Actually, I think the chap most in need of a new finisher is Edge. Both the spear and Edgecution are good-looking moves - particularly the spear - but neither of them are really "put a guy away forever" moves. The other problem with the spear is that against quality opposition, Edge always seems to need two spears, when one makes for better watching. Two is anticlimactic. I'd love to see Edge have a finisher like Orton's RKO or Taker's Tombstone Piledriver, one that nobody ever kicks out of...well, hardly ever 
Which is the fun.
But that's just a personal preference. The obvious guy really, desperately, so badly in need of a finisher is MVP. I'm not even sure he has one at the moment. If he does, it sucks. The lack of a proper finisher, apart from kicking people in the head, invariably makes his matches anticlimactic. Somebody has to fix that.

MVP definetly needs a new finisher, he has made the playmaker look powerful from time to time, but i cant remember anyone that has gotten to the top with a recycled move.
I think MR Kennedy needs another finisher, or at least try and make the Mic Check look painful, if he hit it like the wave of the future(al a KAZ) it would be a good move to end with.
with Edge's spear, i think its need to be a set up to a finisher, like goldberg's, or have it as a secondary finisher and make his Edgecution a match winner.
John Cena needs to, either drop his oppenent on thier shoulders, when he does the FU or make it spilt legged (fireman's carry to taka michinoku driver), because a fireman's carry slam does like a weak move for such a powerful wrestler.
also have C.M Punk do the Anaconda vice as his main finisher and have the GTS(as it doesnt look very powerful) used how Chris Benoit would use the diving headbutt.(would use it as a signature move, and sometimes to finish someone, maybe a lesser star)

Occasional Pre-Show
Shelton's T-Bone Suplex looks like a standard move that someone like Tazz or Chris Benoit would've used in the openings of their matches. That being said at least it looks like COULD be effective, Umaga's Samoan Spike just looks like his drunk friend dared him to do it and when he did, his opponent sold it. Thus the birth of one of the worst moves in wrestling, second only to The Great Khali's brain chop. Also I agree with the people who dug Punk using the Anaconda Vise, because it was a submission and pretty dope, but even when he did that sometimes it looked like he took too long to lock it in. I wouldn't have it as his finisher but I'd like to see him break it out every once in a while.
