It's not that bad hence why it's at #20 it's just inconsistent as hell most times he is either landing on his opponent on his belly, his side, or with his legs.

@@zeospark9715 Fair Point

It's a damn good finisher that is very hard to do but is safe john Morrison was a safe worker.

@@BradTaylor-ql3kh Exactly 👍

It sucks. There's barely any impact.

Maybe because the legdrop has a legacy, and the fact that it looked like it hurt due to Hogan's size. You have a point, though, that it doesn't take skill or agility to do, and the Hulkster has certainly paid the price for doing it for so long.

​@@ThunderFist1978 matt Hardy also paid the price too when using the top-rope leg drop at the steel cage

Undertakers leg drop looks 100% more devastating honestly

@@CurtisTomko7107 he used it very rarely and for a good reason

​@@joshuamartinez7409who the heck was saying that???

@@XavierGage Myself. 👀

Also Goldberg with the spear jackhammer

The Warrior stopped doing the press drop consistently and often won with just the splash. The Press looked great, but when he didn't use it the Splash was crap as a finisher

The gorilla press slam was a dope finish. Not a lot of guys could do that. Warriors was insanely strong.

You forgot hogan would do the 3 punches before the big boot

This. The way its performed in the Arcade game Wrestlefest is the whole finisher.

Definitely looked breathtaking but now it's just hard to watch knowing how dangerous the move actually is and seeing guys like Bryan Danielson still using it, it's like, why?

@@ShiningJudgment666we know what it does. It should not be used as a finisher at all or signature but, it shouldn’t be forbidden either. There’s tons of other moves that can do the same if not worst! I full heartedly believe anyone using it is paying tribute to Cris. Watching him soar arms spread out from the top of third turnbuckle only to to fully commit to the fall without hesitation is one of the most gorgeous things I’ve witnessed in a ring

Did it inspire him to murder his son? And wife? Did it inspire him to be such a coward he couldn’t kill just himself?

CTE XP Points

He didn't kill his family fuck what the corrupt law enforcement says Chris Nancy & Daniel was murdered over that weekend You won't convince me otherwise@@justi139

Not a finisher

That's what she said!

Or that new karate move he came up with 🤦🏾🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂

@@TheGaara802 he won a couple matches with it in 2018

@@palaceofwisdom9448 not funny, bro

as if stunner is

@@bumblebee264 is more believable that dropping your opponent onto the top rope.

Stunner is not that great but Austin executed it very well and it suited his character.

these replies have the iq of an autistic donkey, the stunner is one of the best finishers in WWE, hands down

The stun gun (dropping your opponent's neck on the top rope) was an occasional finisher in the 80s, when it was like a secret dirty throat punch with a weapon. It was a move that got wins when used, but almost no one used as a consistent finisher.

Wow 😯

And the pre-pg era name was better "STF-U" to go with his "F-U(now popularly known as the Attitude Adjustment)"

Butterfly DDT Cool move Vito deserved better

He calls it the Code of Silence. It is not a DDT it is more like a neckbreaker.

The pedigree by HHH needs to be on this list.

Most likely since you can't protect yourself

I think it was

Creativity hasn't died, you're just old.

Makes me think of Sid, his powerbomb was mostly him getting his opponent up and then just letting go.

Are you sure you did not mistake Sid's Powerbomb for Diesel's/Kevin Nash's? Sid in fact used a lot of force slamming the opponent on the ground, the Jackknife Powerbomb on the other hand was more or less letting go, just as you described. Check out Sid's Powerbombs once more, 90% of them were really powerful, yet he was a worker well enough to put "soft" Powerbombs on protected Wrestlers like Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart,... Watch how he stopped two times mid air to deliver the softest possible Powerbomb on the Hulkster :D

@@Gammera2000 Creativity did die, young people are just too stupid and brainwashed to notice it.

Jason Jett was the crash landing guy, and they were hoping to push him near the end. Kenny Khaos was part of the High Voltage team.

It really is like he said, MVP is pretty much hurting himself more since he's landing on his knee when he uses it.

Benoit's cross face looked really painful!

He did use the Diving Headbutt as a finisher, as well.

He had two finishers, the cross face and the diving headbutt

The guy had like 4 finishing moves: I've seen him finish matches, several times, with: - The Crippler's Crossface - The Diving Headbutt and - The German Suplex (Triple) - The Boston Crab The latter two were some kind of extended signature moves, which he also used to finish matches. It's a little bit like The Undertaker. He finished matches with The Tombstone, The Last Ride, but there were matches where he simply used The Chokeslam or Hell's Gate, too.

acording to my "WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2007 GAME" he had 2 finishers that where the headbutt and the crossface

Well the STF is a good move, cena just doesn’t execute it well, diving headbutt is well… extremely dangerous, starship pain is great though

@@gusto9907 agree

​@@gusto9907Stop hating on Cena's move.

To be honest, the diving headbutt probably added to Benoit’s issues.

Bruh

Daniel Bryan execute the move so SOFT. What concussion are you talking about. LOL

They need to add HHH pedigree on this too.

​@@LeeArmstrong47Triple H performed the pedigree safely for over 20 years.

especially if it fell onto my back. I'd be bedridden for a week

Yeah. Funny how if the wrestlers did it in the ring it "looks" like there is no impact.

Ok to be honest Starship pain does look incredible but to me it's s***

rikishi has the worst

Yeah some of them actually looked a lil painful the way he lands on their stomach region.

I thought it looked awesome

​@@jdb2722Yeah, Starship Pain is dope. It looks bad when it gets botched, but he doesn't mess it up as frequently as people make it out. I don't remember Johnny having any issues preforming it consistently on Lucha Underground.

Kind of like a standing crucifix driver. Which takes away both the crucifix and the driver when you do it while standing.

Now that you mention it. Gigi is slow AF. Sad to say but at this point her beauty is the only one saving her career.

I don't hate it, to be honest. Has kind of a crucifix bomb look to it. If she put a bit more snap on it, I can see it working.

I think the SOS is Kofi's version of the Ranhei. Not sure what Gigi was going for with that finish. It looks a little like a sloppy version of Saki Akai's Quetzacoatl finisher in DDT.

I've always thought it was meant to be an octopus stretch flipped into a powerbomb. I know TJP does a version of it that looks a lot better so maybe she got the inspiration from there?

it the mic check and Austin was not wrong

A lot of wrestlers have 2 finishers .

Definitely on his son.

@@robertclark2253 Benoit barely ever won a match with the headbutt. It's clearly more in the Signature move category.

@@fergalstackstreamsbs. Benoit won many matches in wcw and wwe with the diving headbutt

@@jasontodd1896 Name five without checking.

The first two weren't traditionally finishers, they were signature moves. Sometimes Rock would use it as a finisher but typically if he's already hit his opponent with the Rock Bottom. But this wasn't always the case. Hogan's leg drop is indeed bad though, even for its time period.

@@waitselljones8068 People's Elbow was always labeled as a finisher in every single WWE game Dwayne was in, there's not a single time it was labeled a "signature".

​@@waitselljones8068the Rock bottom was a signature followed by the People's elbow.

@@waitselljones8068no

@@waitselljones8068yes but the flying headbutt wasn’t benoit’s finisher either.

I'm pretty sure 100% cena knows how to execute proper stf,he didnt yank it back so he's opponent didnt hurt hurt you know what im sayin

Totally agree on the bailey to belly. Also because it doesn't even look that great as a belly to belly suplx. Especially if she performs it on bigger women like Nia Jax it looks more like Nia hugs her and then jumps up to perform the move on herself.

The diving headbutt is Benoit’s non-submission finisher. I went to live events in Los Angeles a couple of times and witnessed it. So, this video is spot on.

@@achimsinn6189 Kind of works when she's doing it as an Avalanche variation or if her opponents were smaller than her. Thank goodness she uses the Rose Plant like she did on the Indies.

@@ShiningJudgment666rose plant is bad too

@@ShiningJudgment666she honestly would do great with the pedigree

Leave the cobra alone. Thats the most op finisher of all time. Don't disrespect cobra like that.

That is the most ridiculous finisher ever. Although people loved seeing it, it was a crappy finisher.

​@@heraldberg9469Only ever kicked out of once though. And it didn't even have the cobra sock on when it was kicked out of.

He puts the battering ram but not the cobra? Lol might as well keep the battering ram out of this video 😂

More protected than the tombstone piledriver.

Hogan's leg drop is iconic but john cena 5 move of doom should been on the list plus tap out thinks stf is worst than 5 moves of doom

@@KZfaq4life613Iconic is kind of irrelevant considering the Warrior Splash and the Diving Headbutt are both on here. It's at best hypocrisy.

@@KZfaq4life613 Hulk Hogan to be fair was massive in his prime so it's not completely unbelievable for it to be capable of ending matches.

@@KZfaq4life613 dude Cena has more then 5 moves lol

Her axe kick was the best.

Also Chad Gable and ilja dragunov

I agree. I think Nikki became a better overall wrestler than John and Brie, tbh. Obviously John had the best in-ring psychology, but Nikki definitely out performed him on more than just the finisher.

​@@abellabarbie💀

​@@abellabarbieWhat? When?

@@abellabarbie LMAOO Bro really said that Nikki became a better overall wrestler then John fricking Cena💀💀💀

@@abellabarbiestop the cap

Agreed. Not his best video. Some of these finishers I actually consider good, especially when you look at who performs it.

It's called "Waste Land". What devastating are you talking about? LOL

His bull-hammer is better.

People’s Elbow was usually after The Rock Bottom

If I'm remembering correctly, Dwayne Johnson came up with the people's elbow move as part of a private contest between him and Steve Austin to make the Undertaker break character and laugh out loud.

It was only odd when the opponent was lying on his back. It seemed to look like it would knock the wind out of someone lying face-first more.

Santino’s cobra is intentionally bad. It was used for comedy character so it wouldn’t go on here

I don't think Scotty 2 Hotty actually pinned anyone with The Worm to be fair

Santino was a joke character, so I'm not sure that really counts.

@@Emper0rH0rde He still had a career and won matches off that cobra strike.

@@darttecnowolf it won matches, so I feel it does. But this is good, a little debating and pot stirring. That was the intention of this upload. Well done to this!

Stop complaining about a WCW/TNA wrestler getting some proper recognition. Not everything in wrestling needs VKM, HHH, or TK approval.

@@calebmaybin6896 im not complaining about that. its ok to like elix, hell i like him too. but putting down other wrestlers because of a perceived nepo baby is dumb. also the rko is a jumping neckbreaker or bulldog also ddp ripped off the diamond cutter from johnny ace's ace crusher.

@@ShineKazamaKiryu Sorry, didn't mean to sound snappish. Just hate always seeing WCW/TNA/Independent wrestlers never getting their due or worse degraded.

The one John Cena does is more like a Sleeper variation of the move rather than a face-lock (hence the F in STF).

Don't you mean Kizarny?

The point of running the ropes is because it builds momentum. Tito Santana's flying forearm crossbody splash is a thing of beauty and it wouldn't even look good if he didn't run the ropes.

@@ChargerBullet Anything moving forward would build momentum. You don't have to spring off the ropes a dozen times to drop a leg or elbow. It builds excitement (to those with short term memory problems ("gee, wonder what he's going to do now that he has torn off his t-shirt/thrown his elbow pad") but momentum? As a matter of fact you have to stop that momentum just to fall down.

the moves out of nowhere are the best. as they can be hit outside, insside the ring. moves like, jbl clotheline from hell, the stunner, rko. however if anything the most realistic and do able finishing move out of nowhere would be hbk sweet chin music. simple but effective. sadly now though, the superkick is overused. much like the ddt.

@@cijmo Yeah, the "people's elbow" was started just as a joke when The Rock was trying to come up with the silliest move to mess with the crowd at a house show. People cheered it the same way they do "the worm". The fact that Rock just stops before he drops the elbow and loses all momentum is part of the joke. But other wrestlers that run the ropes for momentum don't stop when they do the move. Imagine how silly Rey's 619 would look if he just stood there and tried to do it without a running start. And besides most finishers that run the ropes just do it once. Ultimate Warrior hit the ropes twice because it was part of his gimmick where he ran around the ring. The only other finisher that had the guy run the ropes more than one side was The Hart Foundation when Bret Hart did his running clothesline with Jim Neidhart. I'm sure there are others but that's all I can think of. The running movements add to the theatrics and action. Again, look at Tito Santana's finisher. He throws his opponent to the ropes and he runs the opposite end of the ropes and when they both swing back Tito does his flying forearm crossbody splash when they collide. It looked even cooler when he did it with Rick Martel as Strike Force.

I honestly thought Warrior's finisher was the gorilla press drop when I was a kid and looking back on it, it's only ever won a handful of matches without the warrior splash follow up haha
