I think that was partially the point Remember this was Divas Era Women Division with Vince and Lauranitis at their objectively WORST booking regarding the female division So of course they’ll pull a more subtler naming method By using a double meaning word
10:00 Rikishi's Stinkface should NOT be on the list... It's a SIGNATURE MOVE NOT A FINISHER!!!! His finisher is either the Banzai Drop or the Rikishi Driver.
Fun Fact About the finisher "The Cobra" : Its the most protected move of the list, even more the the studder, the rock bottom, perigee, even the tombstone piledriver. Only one person has ever kicked out of the cobra... and that person was Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) at 2012 Elimination Chamber..
Not exactly. Daniel Bryan is the only person to have kicked out of the Cobra with the cobra sock on. People have kicked out of the cobra without the sock.
The "Skull Crushing Finale" for a "Professional Wrestling" finishing move actually makes sense. It's got the same idea of taking an unprotected face bump like the "Pedigree", just that it has a longer way down till impact. Jericho was the first person I saw do it. On a side note, The Headshrinkers used to do a double-team variation of this idea and it looked devastating. Look it up.
@GamrinDinkOutSwinging That's because the Stinkface wasn't a finisher! It was a comedy spot, like Goldust's Shattered Dreams. Rikishi used the Sitout Tombstone Piledriver or Banzai Drop to win matches.
Surprised at thr hate for Skull Crushing Finale as I quite enjoy the move. Removing all your opponents limbs so you can smash their face into the ground. Each to their own though, it's why this topic is awesome! Great video and I'm only halfway through.
It really just feels like Miz hate. He locks your arms so you cannot protect your face. Straightens out your back so you cannot bend over instead of falling forward, kicks back one of your legs so you cannot block it with a simple step forward while additionally putting you off balance! It's PERFECT! Rey Mysterio makes you trip into the ropes and that somehow knocks anyone out for 10 seconds so he can do the 619, but the Skull Crushing Finale is supposed to not make sense?
At this point I think it’s just a case that everything from his cash in to Mania 27 to Mania 28 where he was in that multi tag match with no real story involved Led to just Miz being poison to them since generally everything involved was crap to them, and they had a decent argument since anyone looking back will say the BEST thing he did was his promo he did where he torn into Rock and Cena for ignoring him going into Mania 27, cause he objectively had a good point
Yes but when cena used to call it the stfu it didn't stand for "step over toehold face lock up" Hence the joke, and I honestly can't tell if this is just trolling
@@kirbyr1473 They do know what the original move is called. Cena's version was the "Shut the Fuck Up" so when they changed the name of CENA'S VERSION to just STF, then it became "Shut the Fuck".
I quite like The Skull Crushing Finale. I don't *love* it, but I like it. It's super safe, it can be hit on anyone, it never injured anyone taking or delivering it, and yet it is believable as a match-ender, because your arms are held back and you can't protect your head. It's complicated enough that you don't think: "Why didn't you do that at the start of the match? (Like The Women's Right)" And it's not so complicated that you don't think: "Why didn't you do something simpler?" (As is the case with the Saxtonator.)
I really don't inderstand the cirtic about the Skull Crushin Finale to begin with. Full Nelson hold to straighten out your back and lock your arms so you cannot protect your face, then he wallops both of your forward while pulling one of your legs away so you cannot use it to stop the fall! The move makes perfect sense! It makes more sense the F5 which should do as much damage as falling of the ring corner!
I know a lot of people hate Cena’s finishers, but I don’t hate Cena’s finishers; call it nostalgia. Khali’s Chop has to be the worst finisher; Charlotte’s big boot is also up there for me
I actually really live the attitude adjustment/FU. It’s simple, it’s really hard for it to be done badly. It’s a solid finisher The STFU and the backfist he did for a little while were just awful though, they never looked good
Skull Crushing Finale? You don't need to like the move, but in no realm is slamming somebody's head to the ground with your body weight a terrible finisher 😂
yeah, this and the AA hate is the thing i will never understand from older Pro Wrestling fans. like for this list i get that personal grief toward miz and cena are a factor but really? those moves you think are worse than the rear view? or Del Rio's dumb middle rope stomp you counter by just letting go of the ropes? or hell the overdrive? like i know its just me being a casual that i don't see the STF as any different from any other face lock/cross face anyone else does. but like really, the weird, decades long grievances with ultimately popular moves/wrestlers are just so weird to me.
Hogan's Leg Drop is ESPECIALLY bad when you realize he had the Axe Bomber in Japan that was SO MUCH BETTER. ALSO, Hogan (who would always brag about his "24-inch pythons") using a CLOTHESLINE as a finisher just makes sense.
ESPECIALLY with how objectively OVER lariats are in Japan WHERE HE TRAINED FIRST And where he teamed with STAN HANSEN ONE THE GREATS WITH THAT MOVE! ….oh and of course the whole “screwed his back straight to hell from using the damn drop to much”
This is the exact reason, it’s not the hold itself, it’s that his muscle were too big. So when he was putting pressure on their neck he was legitimately stopping blood flow to the head. Edge said that the only thing he remembers after that was a ladder going towards his face. He was out of it in that match
I can’t tell you guys how much I needed this video! I’ve been watching wrestletalk since before there was even an Oli!

Kross has said before on twitter that he keeps doing the pumphandle setup to wind people up because of the negative reaction it got when he first did it 😂
Same. He’s done it like twice before in NXT and it looked great both times, and he’s done it to Darby Allin in an indie match, and I swear to god I could hardly count the amount of rotations Darby got😂
People don’t like the AA? That’s people being blinded by hating Cena, because there’s no way that’s a bad finisher. It’s a massive man, throwing other people over his head, from his shoulders, to the floor. That’s a power bomb from another position…
It's dull as fuck and cena couldn't make a move look good if his life depended on it. It's nowhere near as bad as the stfu though which is one of the worst looking moves ever
@@ojasjain7977 "Elevated a bit", the guy flips them over... It's like saying The Last Ride is just a slightly high drop of person. Plus, a clothesline is used by nearly everyone, yet Okada does that for his finish. It's about what the person does with it.
@@J_Tevo it still isn't impactful at all. When other wrestlers like aj Styles are adding a knee to the back of the head from that position and using it as a regular move. The aa compared to most finishers looks shit and okadas finisher is also not good but at least is sold well
The Byron Saxton finisher is amazing.... The commentators didn't know what to say so they went with "oh.... that must have discombobulated him" Then the camera cuts to Dolph Ziggler laughing at what he's just seen... It's as if he was stood behind the curtain and someone shouted over "plans have changed - you're winning tonight so you'll need to hit your finish" and Saxton didn't have the balls to say "I haven't got one" so he made something up on the spot.
Love this channel so much but the hate for the miz and john cena is crazy. You cannot tell me the miz or john cena's finishers are worse than a theatrical elbow drop because it happened to be from the attitude era
Honourable mentions should go to the three finishers Braun Strowman had before the running power slam (that standing triangle choke thing, that weird dominator variant and, worst of the three, the inverted choke slam)
The move generally makes perfect sense. 1. Lock arms behind head so the opponent cannot use them to soften the landing 2. Sweep leg to put the opponent off balance AND prevent them from just stepping forward to block the entire momentum
There are multiple wrestler that had unnecessary things in their moves just to show off! I am sure someone legit bench pressed their opponent before launching them up to let them fall to the floor.

Miz is not great by any means, but he’s worked his ass off to build a successful career/brand. I respect that. And, his name is Mike Mizanin. Hence… The Miz.
They know that, but it's still a ridiculous thing to call yourself. It'd be like Sullivan wrestling as "The Sull" -- the logic is there, but the name still stinks.
@@venividiarrevederci4461 but that's the point? It's ridiculous and stupid so you hate it. It's like when the miz wore the bandanna and fedora combo cause he knew it looked stupid and that people would hate it.
I actually know the answer to Sullivan's question at the end of the video. Bastion Booger absolutely picked that as his finish because it's the same finish he used when he was Friar Ferguson
Was the Rack attack actually named after a rack though? I never connected to that and always correlated it to a torture rack which was indeed the setup
With both the Era the Bellas worked during alongside who was booking the women back then…I can easily see it with them using a double meaning word to be “clever”
The funny dichotomy about the Cobra is that it was only ever kicked out of once, yet he also used it to eliminate himself from the Rumble (as Santina) … those are some interesting bookends to a finisher
Frankly along with the skull crushing finale, any move which is just grabbing someone’s head and driving it down is on my personal list. Ambrose’s dirty deeds, Bayley’s rose…tip or plant I think they called it, and LA Knight’s BLT. They’re all so same-y. I don’t get how everyone rags on a superkick, but multiple people having slight variations on head driving moves is glossed over. Moxley’s death rider is a much better example, turning a DDT into something way more threatening.
Chaotic Neutral and No Rolls Barred is where Laurie has been. He doesn't live in London so that takes up all his filming time when he is down for shoots.
Think Laurie took up Adam’s old role with NRB, plus the new channel of Chaotic Neutral, plus his production role already, the guys got a lot on. Probably won’t see him much on WT anymore, only so many hours in a day for the lad
Sat is ironically was only available on Saturdays as his daytime scheduling throughout the week makes him unavailable. Laurie yeah it is a shame he cannot attend the wrestling aspect of the channel.
His defense of his #10 was its just a punch and Lacey Evans is a twat. I dont think he thought too hard about his reasoning, just spit out what he didn't like.
Funny thing about the Natural Selection critique. Cena's finisher when he first went heel/thuganomics was the Throwback, rarely seen but a Natural Selection off a setup kick to a standing person. Then he changed it to the FU in the feud with face Brock. Speaking of, the AA/FU is just weirdly inconsistent. Cause it could be anything from a fireman carry takeover, to a death valley driver/C4, sometimes he'd do a full military press. Sometimes a sitout more like a Michinoku driver.
I NEVER picked up on Nikki Bella’s finisher being the “Rack Attack” I thought it was a cool name but now all these years I’m finding out this shit 💀 4:55
I don't know how to explain Byron Saxton's "finisher," but here is my best effort: Cobra Clutch, pump fakes a facebuster (or something face forward), and then goes into a kind of sitout Dream Street maneuver.
Superman Punch. It looks good, very dramatic. But I never believed it as actually hurting anyone, you lose all power leaping into the air first. Now if you run at them first, then do it, it's a little better. But just jumping from stand still and punching it looks like a playground fight. For lack of a better description.
Byron Saxton's finisher is called the Saxtonation and yes its the worst finisher 😅 Kross' finisher is called the Final Prayer, same thought when I first saw it. It does look like a Create-a-Finisher move
I will never tire of Sullivan making the whole episode stop for 30 seconds because he dropped one of the funniest lines in human history
Non-chalantly too, just says the funniest things and expects us to move one.
Genuinely one of the funniest human beings on the planet
It really hurts the video when none of it is that funny.
He’s a treasure.
Sullivan has to be the happiest person in UK. He is ALWAYS LAUGHING.
My fav thing on Wrestletalk, Sullivan laughing so hard he sounds like he is having an asthmas attack from the level of wheezing occurring
Nice pfp
And his face turning tomato red in the process lmao
My favorite thing overall is Sullivan laughing until he wheezes.
Because it's relateable for me (I can't laugh normally anymore, I just wheeze 😂)
Awfully rude of Pete to insult Karrion Kross's finisher when he's sitting right across the table from him.
What ?
@@prathammishra69 Sullivan

I don't think the Stinkface is a finisher. I can't remember Rikishi ever winning directly from a Stinkface.

I think Nikki called it the rack attack cuz they're up in a torture rack before she drops down.
Remember both who was booking the women and what Era it was
I’m pretty sure it was a case of trying to be subtle with a word with double meanings
about the STF, i am like 80% sure it looks so bad because he once knocked Edge out with it and now it’s a test hold at best

Pay dirt/ the lie detector/ oblivion is the worst finisher ever because it hurts the user far more than the opponent.
The lie detector is a different move, r-truth's version of the complete shot was called little Jimmy
The Lie Detector is a forearm smash.
I always appreciated that the Skull Crushing Finale is the perfect counter to the RKO, and it made perfect sense to win the title with it.

1. Lock arms behind head so the opponent cannot use them to soften the landing
2. Sweep leg to put the opponent off balance AND prevent them from just stepping forward to block the entire momentum

24:09 Tyler Breeze once said he would tell his opponents to hit him with Byron's finish just so he could kick out of it.
Miz is not great by any means, but he’s worked his ass off to build a successful career/brand. I respect that. And, his name is Mike Mizanin. Hence… The Miz.
I never thiught I’d be defending The Miz on the internet. Lol
His finishers are definitely shit. Lol
They know that, but it's still a ridiculous thing to call yourself. It'd be like Sullivan wrestling as "The Sull" -- the logic is there, but the name still stinks.
@@venividiarrevederci4461 but that's the point? It's ridiculous and stupid so you hate it. It's like when the miz wore the bandanna and fedora combo cause he knew it looked stupid and that people would hate it.
@@venividiarrevederci4461….. It’s no more silly than “The Rock”.
@@NeatoBurrito05 You're not wrong, but intentionally awful is still awful.
Thank you guys for all of this entertainment, you guys helped me get through the pandemic years and i love you guys for it ❤️
All I'm saying, The Miz has something because have you seen his wife....
By all accounts he's a good dude. Tempest has worked himself into disliking him in real life
@@dastardlywunTempest worked himself into a shoot with the miz
I personally enjoy watching these videos, I love that they focus on one topic matter with the worst finisher in WWE.
For Booger, all I can gather is boogers are sometimes called "bats in the cave" and maybe something something pole to the Batcave.
I actually know the answer to Sullivan's question at the end of the video. Bastion Booger absolutely picked that as his finish because it's the same finish he used when he was Friar Ferguson
Was the Rack attack actually named after a rack though? I never connected to that and always correlated it to a torture rack which was indeed the setup
With both the Era the Bellas worked during alongside who was booking the women back then…I can easily see it with them using a double meaning word to be “clever”
The funny dichotomy about the Cobra is that it was only ever kicked out of once, yet he also used it to eliminate himself from the Rumble (as Santina) … those are some interesting bookends to a finisher
Dang, I thought the "Rack Attack" was named that because the positioning of the move is a take on Luger's "Torture Rack". 🤔
Double meaning word
It was Divas Era and Vince worst women booking….what do you expect?
STF actually means step over toe hold face lock. Trust me I was surprised when I found out too.
Frankly along with the skull crushing finale, any move which is just grabbing someone’s head and driving it down is on my personal list. Ambrose’s dirty deeds, Bayley’s rose…tip or plant I think they called it, and LA Knight’s BLT. They’re all so same-y. I don’t get how everyone rags on a superkick, but multiple people having slight variations on head driving moves is glossed over. Moxley’s death rider is a much better example, turning a DDT into something way more threatening.
I had to look up the Byron Saxton move….. thank you so much for the laughs, a fun watch 😹
This is the best content you guys do easily.
"Forward and Back, Discombobulating him!" That is the call. Huzzah!
What happened to Laurie? Haven't seen the dude in months. Sat? He's been missing too.
Chaotic Neutral and No Rolls Barred is where Laurie has been. He doesn't live in London so that takes up all his filming time when he is down for shoots.
Think Laurie took up Adam’s old role with NRB, plus the new channel of Chaotic Neutral, plus his production role already, the guys got a lot on. Probably won’t see him much on WT anymore, only so many hours in a day for the lad
Sat is ironically was only available on Saturdays as his daytime scheduling throughout the week makes him unavailable. Laurie yeah it is a shame he cannot attend the wrestling aspect of the channel.
When Sullivan is not laughing, his face changes.
He seems a completely different person 😂
Just started the video and I know Pete is wrong, just because his shirt is wrong. Math>Pipebomb
PETE YOU MADE ME NEVER LOOK AT THE FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE THE SAME AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ALSO I WAS HOWLING WHEN SULLIVAN'S PHONE WENT OFF 😂
Sullivan is the best. He’s having so much fun.
Byron's finisher was called the Saxtonation
Nah son, the cobra is one of the best as far as joke finishers go. If Tempest placed it at 9 or 10, then I could agree.
His defense of his #10 was its just a punch and Lacey Evans is a twat. I dont think he thought too hard about his reasoning, just spit out what he didn't like.
The Cobra could be straight up out of a martial artist movie. Quick figner stab to the neck making opponents collabs just feels right
15:30 So can anyone tell which episode of QuizzleMania the Jeremy Booger thing is from? I’d like to go see it myself but I don’t know where to look.
The STFU censor should have been the STA = Stop the Attitude.
Funny thing about the Natural Selection critique. Cena's finisher when he first went heel/thuganomics was the Throwback, rarely seen but a Natural Selection off a setup kick to a standing person. Then he changed it to the FU in the feud with face Brock.
Speaking of, the AA/FU is just weirdly inconsistent. Cause it could be anything from a fireman carry takeover, to a death valley driver/C4, sometimes he'd do a full military press. Sometimes a sitout more like a Michinoku driver.
Can Sullivan be there for every TLC?
I NEVER picked up on Nikki Bella’s finisher being the “Rack Attack” I thought it was a cool name but now all these years I’m finding out this shit 💀 4:55
I'm wondering if we'll get a Kizarny mizention... 😂
This is the first TLC vid where I've had to go search Google and man, I was not disappointed. Great stuff as always, chaps 👍👍
What's with WrestleTalk and their hate for anything John Cena, I feel like Cena has never made it to a positive TLC. But the video's great tho
Agreed,I thought I was the only one who noticed this
I don't know how to explain Byron Saxton's "finisher," but here is my best effort: Cobra Clutch, pump fakes a facebuster (or something face forward), and then goes into a kind of sitout Dream Street maneuver.
Solo Sikoa - it's a thumb. Just a thumb. Every time I see it I hear Austin Powers saying "I mean really. Who uses their thumb".
It's a tape up thumb to the throat by an angry Samoan....
Sullivan unintentionally making a DEADLOCK/newLegacy reference with the "Shut the F---" is amazing. (Censored it myself so UA-cam doesn't get mad)
Superman Punch. It looks good, very dramatic. But I never believed it as actually hurting anyone, you lose all power leaping into the air first. Now if you run at them first, then do it, it's a little better. But just jumping from stand still and punching it looks like a playground fight. For lack of a better description.
It's a signature move, not a finisher.
It started out as a finisher, they just stopped trying to end matches with it because nobody bought it.
Byron Saxton's finisher is called the Saxtonation and yes its the worst finisher 😅
Kross' finisher is called the Final Prayer, same thought when I first saw it. It does look like a Create-a-Finisher move
This isn't the Smackdown review 😖
Stink face wasn’t a finisher . It was a signature. He did eithier rikishi driver or banzi drop.
Probably filmed June's TLC already, but if you need ideas, a couple in best/worst factions in wrestling would probably be a pretty good shout.
