16:02 Idk, I think Chad Gable's ankle lock is pretty fire, when he put it on Gunther in their third match, the selling on both ends was the closest I came to thinking Gunther was losing his title
I have a few counter arguments for the Mandible Claw. The first one is the fact that you're supposed to be putting so much pressure on the jaw that you can't close it, thus can't bite down. I'm also sure that biting is illegal in most normal matches anyways.
I was gonna be mad if Kane’s Chokeslam and Tombstone wasn’t on here. Love his tombstone but he does have the best Chokeslam so that wins. There were some close calls with many others too. Love how great they make all these finishers over the years.

About the Mandible claw and bitiing down on them. You can't bite down. The idea is that you're pushing down on the pressure point in the bottom of your mouth which prevents them from being able to bite. Two ways you can test this is either having someone do it for you, or, if you have a dog that like to bite, you can try it on them as it has the sane result.
Was gonna post a comment myself but you beat me to it. Man is a machine when it comes to the wrestling content and should actually take a full week to himself. Even when he was on vacation about a month or so ago, he was still recording reactions for us. 😂
@@pleaseshutup7053 Yeah but he still did some vids while he was in Portugal, but also he still had to record quadruple times the videos before he left for Portugal
The Ankle Lock IS Kurt Angle. Especially when he does the full-body wraparound to really cinch it in. On Chaddy Daddy has ever come close to making it look as legit, and even he can’t do it as much justice since as you say, he isn’t as intense or vicious with the facial expressions. Any other option for Angle would be wrong
The discrepancy between the Rock Bottom as "fine" and Rock lacking a truly great finisher for his character (in your opinion) and the Manhandle Slam as "great" and it defining her character just says to me these moves have as much as the people taking the moves as the person delivering them. Same can be said for the Styles Clash to an extent. But even historically, great finishers like the Stunner even when delivered by Steve Austin have looked like a killer (see Sgt. Slaughter taking the Stunner) to looking like complete carny business-killing garbage (see Linda or recently Vince taking it). Whereas a "mid" finisher has had times where it looked incredible when you'd see a Kurt Angle or even a Rodney (for a deep pull) get height and get folded by the move. It takes two to tango in the squared circle.
Kevin still uses the Pop-Up Powerbomb but it;s often either escaped or doesn't get the win, although it do still get the win sometimes. I'm pretty sure Kevin even got a win with it fairly recently.

@@JqlGirl meh. I honestly prefer Submission finishers anyway. If they close out a match than you can compare the two. Both are finishers to end the match
Orton: RKO as normal, Punt for special ocassions, big matches Cena: AA/FU (STF is dreadful, ngl) Punk: GTS (Anaconda Vice is cool too though) Rollins: Curb Stomp, ez Taker: Tombstone. Amazing. Bryan: Knee. Especially when sold well. Miz: Skull Crushing Finale. Obviously. Charlotte: Figure 8. Spear and Big Boot work well for her, too, though. Gunther: Powerbomb. Just fits. Rock: Rock Bottom. Elbow is not good. At all. Roman: Guillotine. Fits him so well. KO: Pop Up Powerbomb. Not even close. An amazing move, love it. Don't like his stunner. Angle: Angle Lock. Bray: Sister Abigail. Move itself is kinda eh, but the theatrics work. Kane: Chokeslam. In a vacuum, Tombstone. But Chokeslam works for him so well. Becky: Dis-Arm-Her
i know i’m leaving a lot of comments but if the natural selection was done with the opponent standing up i think it would be better. it’s like a reverse blockbuster and i think could look crazy good
Personally I'd have had a way harder time choosing for Jericho if they had The Judas Effect instead of The Code Breaker cuz like you said it was 💩 as a finisher(he uses it as a signature now n it works way better for that) but that said I'd still have picked The Walls Of Jericho for the nostalgia cuz I grew up slapping The Walls Of Jericho on my little brother
Fun fact for you Santi, Undertaker beat triple H 3 times at wrestlemania, with all 3 different finishers. WM17 with the last ride, wm27 with the hell's gate, and wm28 with the tombstone piledriver.
braun strowman could’ve made this list. his triangle choke when he was a heel looked so good. same with the reverse chokeslam. i hope he brings one of them back at some point. his running powerslam is so wack
Tbf, the mandible claw is a real submission, its a pressure point and in a real fight your opponent wouldn't be able to bite because youre basically pulling a dude's lower jaw. It really hurts too.
Shout out to Gunther who in 2024 I saw win with all of these moves: powerbomb, lariat, splash, ankle lock (vs riddle), rear naked choke (vs Ciampa) and a liontamer (vs Miz)
Randy - RKO. John Cena - AA. CM Punk - GTS. Seth Freakin' Rollins - Stomp. Undertaker - Tombstone. Daniel Bryan - Running Knee. The Miz - Skull Crushing Finally. Charlotte Flair - Figure 8 Leg Lock. Gunther - is tough... I think all but the splash is a contender, I really personally liked the Final Symphony, but I think it has to be his Power Bomb. The Rock - Rock Bottom looks great, no idea what Santi is on about, it is also the easy winner of this one. Roman Reigns - I never disliked Roman, I never understood the anger about him, people now cheer LA Knight for the same reason that they hated Roman Reigns. But I agree his Guillotine is better. Even though I like the setup for his spear, we have just seen better spears than his. Kevin Owens - Popup Power Bomb, not even close, his stunner looks dumb and I fear it will break his body the same way it did Austin's. AJ Styles - Phenomenal Forearm. Styles Clash is lame. Chris Jericho - Walls of Jericho with the knee on the back in particular, but just Walls of Jericho. Codebreaker is great, Santi you are high. Kurt Angle - Ankle Lock. Ain't no fucking way you remember him for his Angle Slam. Bray Wyatt - Damn... Hating on the mandible claw... You ever wondered why they wore a glove (or sock) for this move? It's so you can't just bite. It looks disgusting and vicious and I actually preferred Bray Wyatt's version of it, even if I think Sister Abigail is amazing too, I dunno, for me it depends on his Gimmick, I think his Sister Abigail was less powerful than mandible claw once he had the Fiend persona, where as his Eater of Worlds didn't have the mandible claw, but it wouldn't really work with that older persona anyway. Overall, I liked Eater of Worlds more, so Sister Abigail. Kane - Chokeslam. Becky Lynch - Disarm-Her, I hate the name, absolutely fucking hate it, but it's a very, very good move.
Blue thunder bomb or helluvakick.. I think in my opinion helluvakick should be a prep for Blue thunder.. where in Sami does the kick first then grabs his opponent to do the Blue thunder bomb
I know its not relevant for this video but i feels like if the rock challenges roman reigns to wartlemania its tells us that in the fatal 4 way match roman reigns is going to win so i not expecting for randy orton la knight or aj styls to win at the rumble match
Guys, all finishers are dangerous if they execute it properly on an opponent but they don't execute it properly on a wrestler because the chances of getting injured are high.
if there is a Orton vs Cody Title Match on WM 40, where Orton delete Cody finish the Story Dreams with a punt kick ... i will do a backflip on my couch with screaming and chearing :D
Dude I think the styles clash is the most devastating looking finisher ever. It looks like it’d kill. But I guess you’re right he doesn’t look good doing it to bigger guys
Don’t know about this one, it comes down to personal preference but to me i just looks like he drops you on your stomach and lays on top of you. I agree with Santi that striking finishers look the best
Unpopular opinion - The Big Show’s KO punch is the best finisher. - It was so devastating seeing a 7ft tall 450lbs giant punch someone in the jaw and watching them flop to the ground.
It is? Whenever I see Orton do it he wants to put a full run into it. This means getting the opponent laid out in the ring, backing up into the corner, running across the ring and hitting the opponent while they are still dazed. Meanwhile RKO you can hit it any time, you can catch people running/diving at you with it, it can be hit anywhere (like on the announce table) as it doesn't require a run up. I'm sorry but, how is the Punt more practical? (or I guess I should say more practical in a WWE sense specifically)
I'm from South Africa, when I was a kid we used to call the Ankle Lock, the "Angle Lock". That's how synonymous it was with Kurt Angle.
16:02 Idk, I think Chad Gable's ankle lock is pretty fire, when he put it on Gunther in their third match, the selling on both ends was the closest I came to thinking Gunther was losing his title
The punt is the most protected finisher in history.
Nobody has ever kicked out. It’s literally used to write people off.
Ya sure ? No one kicked out ?
@@ajaykumark7319 unless there’s some kind of house show, or dark match that I don’t know about, yeah. It’s never been kicked out of
@@ajaykumark7319yes no one ever kick out of it
I know he doesn't use it a lot anymore but I really dig AJ's Calf Crusher submission. Really wish he use it more
Tombstone Piledriver is my favorite. RKO is close second
I wanna ask him when did he knees start to hurt doing the tombstone
@@tmac731 lol😂
@@tmac731😂😂😂
I remember the storyline with the punt to Cena Sr. back in 2007
This was a period of phenomenal heel work by Randy Orton
Started the punt on HBK then RVD right after Backlash '07

the hand also goes under the tongue, try to bite down with your fingers pushing under your tongue
Adambryant4149 biting is not illegal in normal matches watch John cena vs Austin theory
The mandible claw sucks.
I can't believe you don't like the Codebreaker. I think that finisher looked great, especially when the person taking it really sold it with whiplash.
Facts
Santi smokes something because he said it’s bad for a baby face to make the heel tap out when it’s not
We all know walls of Jericho and lion tamer are not the same
Catch codebreaker on AJ
Yeah I love the fact that he can even do it as a mid air counter not many finishers are like that
I was gonna be mad if Kane’s Chokeslam and Tombstone wasn’t on here. Love his tombstone but he does have the best Chokeslam so that wins. There were some close calls with many others too. Love how great they make all these finishers over the years.

With the GTS people should sell it like they are scrambling to get out of the fireman's Cary then go to sleep when the knee connects
You should do a video on “finishers that would fit other wrestlers” for example , I think a Kinshasa would fit fin balor
when I was a amateur wrestler growing up I would use CM Punks Anaconda Vise and have won nearly half my matches with it
Im legit scared when Roman uses the Guillotine. I was legit surprised when Cody was able to get reverse it at Wrestlemania.

You forgot Gunther’s 10 other submission finishers lol
For Me The Curb Stomp, Stunner and Sweet Chin music are the best Finishers of all time
jerichos code breaker is so clean
Randy Orton also had another finisher he used early on, he stopped using it because it hurt his shoulder
I really love Jeff hardy cutter it's just hits different even tho alot people don't like it.
@MrSantiZap you forgot Cena's Sixth move of Doom 😅
Is nobody gonna mention the five nuckle shuffle
I see what you're saying about Chris Jericho but personally I've never been alive when he hasn't had the code breaker
with the mandible claw, i he hand goes under the tongue, try to bite down with your fingers pushing under your tongue
John Cena's FU/Attitude Adjustment (AA) is my favorite finisher
Will Santis upload streak ever end
Jericho has a new finisher in aew and I really love it
The Manhandle Slam is a bad variation of the Rock Bottom, I'll always prefered the Dis-arm Her
