Top 10 Finishers in WWE.
WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) is an American integrated media and entertainment corporation best known for its professional wrestling. WWE has also ventured into other areas, such as movies, baseball, and a variety of other business endeavors. The WWE is also the name of the professional wrestling organization, which was founded in 1953 as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation. It is the world‘s largest wrestling promotion, with over 450 live events a year and a roster largely split into three nationally traveling brands. It is broadcast in 28 languages to 800 million homes worldwide.
Cobra Clutch:
The cobra clutch was originally used by Sgt. Slaughter, who used it to win the WWE Championship. It was later used by my “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase.
This move was used by two of the most influential wrestlers of all time. Unlike a lot of moves, the victim really looks like he is in pain!
Choke Slam:
If you are a big wrestler but don’t know what your finisher should be, all you have to do is look for the chokeslam.
Kane, The Undertaker, Diesel, Giant Gonzalez, and Kane are all wrestlers who are over seven feet tall and use this devastating move.
Sharpshooter:
The highest-placing submission move on this list, the Sharpshooter was the downfall of countless wrestlers in the 90’s. I was glad that this move wasn’t his downfall, either, because Bret Hart returned to bury the hatchet earlier last year.
Tombstone Piledriver:
This is the reason the streak lives. While we’ve already had two of the Undertakers’ moves, this is the true reason behind his success.
This is the only piledriver allowed in WWE currently, and for good reason.
Rock Bottom:
“And if you smell what the Rock is cookin’…”
Apparently, the Rock is cookin’ a fresh pile of hurt after he uses this move. Just driving the opponent’s back into the ground looks painful.
Spear:
The spear is perhaps the most-used finisher in history. Edge, Big Show, Goldberg, Triple H, among others, all used this move.
I can’t help but think that the victim has the breath taken out of him after a spear.
Pedigree:
Triple H is, in my opinion, the best powerhouse in WWE ever. He has been used as a comedy wrestler a few times, and when the victim’s head is between his legs, it makes it seem like he’s gonna “suck it”.
Figure Four Leglock:
For many people, Ric Flair is the greatest entertainer in the history of WWE. And as his primary finisher, he really showed what he could do in the ring.
This move has been adopted by both Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
RKO:
Randy Keith Orton. I wonder how long it’s been since there was a two-week period between RKO’s? The Viper can strike at any moment with this move.
It’s relatively little-known that this is an adaptation of Diamond Dallas Page’s “Diamond Cutter”.
Attitude Adjustment:
I am going to get tons of heat over this. But look at how many wrestlers this move has put down. How can you deny a move that has defeated Edge, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and many more?
