13: Razors Edge

12: Frog Splash

11: Swanton Bomb

10: Mandible Claw

8: Rock Bottom

7: Sweet Chin Music

6: Perfect Plex

5: Pedigree

4: Figure Four Leglock

3: Sharpshooter

2: Tombstone

1: Stone Cold Stunner


Boring list eh lol?

I don't really agree/disagree with any of it, mainly because I don't know how you "rank" a finisher. Still, anything you feel should be in there? I reckon the chokeslam deserves a spot and maybe the Olympic Slam.

Here's a link if you want to see it, it only gives you a boring description though.

F5? Spear? Unprettier? Last Ride? maybe some of those

F5 and Unprettier would be unlikely considering both the people famous for using those have left but then again there are some in there that are the same.

They probably wouldnt be involved as a WWE choice, but id certainly have them in my choice

I probably would'nt have spear.

I'd have unprettier over the spear, eveyone does a spear.

With a spear, it's all dependent on the wrestler delivering the move, for example Edge's version looks piss poor, while Goldberg looked like he absolutely destroyed his opponents with the move. Would definitely have F-5 and the Jacknife powerbomb.

GORE GORE GORE is far better than a spear, and they're almost the exact same

Yeah but I basically class the Gore and Spear as the same move, and again it comes down to the size of the guy delivering it, the bigger they are, the more powerful it looks, and more believable as a finishing move.

Definitely agree the Jacknife Powerbomb should be there too, quality move.

But how could they leave out the humble chokeslam lol. Loads of big fella's have relied on a good chokeslam. It's like chess, minutes to learn but a lifetime to master.

I wouldnt include Spear, im just suprised the WWE havnt included it seeing as their top guy on SD uses it.

I mean i would include the F5 and unprettier

i dont think this would be an issue coz WWE always promote other companies such as roh and tna for when their live shows are and what the results from the shows are.

so i think a finisher that doesnt advertise another company wouldnt bother them much

and they had no problems with doing a small article about lesnar winning the royal rumble 3 years after he had left

i agree with that, i jst feel it makes the move hurt more if he throws a block rather than a tackle...

i think edges spear looks better than batistas though (no jokes) lol

makes his opponants crumple at the waist more.

F5 is over rated, its just spinning someone off shoulders.

piss weakest at the moment has to be finlays doesnt it, water pistol into a celtic cross lol

The F5 is 10x better the edges weak ass spear.

The fact that the RKO is 25th but the twist of fucking fate(which is not even a finisher) is 23rd, tells you this list was put together by morons.

The Lion Tamer (not the weak assed walls that he does in the E)
The Doomsday Device
The Warrior Lift

D'lo Browns frog splash was always the best frog splash i seen

yeah, that was a really good splash

i didnt say edges spear was better than the f5, i just dont think the f5 is as good as people say it is.

fine he did it on some beasts of guys, but he was strong so. its just an FU with a twist instead of a flip over

Where the hell is the Ankle Lock on this list? That move should be in the Top 10 at least. Also, where is the chokeslam, any type of Powerbomb and the Powerslam. The people who made this list are idiots, plain and simple.

its written by the wwe it will obviously be face pro, and current star pro and legend pro.

suprised hogans leg drop aint number one lol or the peoples elbow ha

Sids Power Bomb was the best power bomb in my opinion


The Razors Edge was totally unique it should have a higher place in the ranking in my humble opinion

I like the ankle lock. In addition to it somewhat working if done right, Angle finds cool ways to do it (I.E off stone cold's kick before a stunner)

That reasoning doesn't work though does it? you can say that about almost any move, Goldberg's jackknife is just a suplex blah blah blah.

If edge did the F5 you would be knocking one out to it proclaiming it to be the best move in history.

Comparing it to the FU is just fucking dumb........oh wait, never mind.
