GOAT Finisher Tourney (Round One) Frog Splash vs. Elbow Drop

[DAH Padre]

This is closer than I ever thought a finish could be. The Insane Madness of the elbow drop, but then you got Eddie, RVD, and now Montez (last weeks splash was ridiculous) getting froggy. Off the strength of Macho I’m going elbow.

Went with the elbow but it was really close

I was going to think about it a little more, but this right here convinced me. I remember those days

Elbow drop

This match was fire.
But it created the "Brock got put down for half the match and comeback to destroy everyone in the finishing sequence" finish

I love Eddie/Art Barr's frog splash. I also really liked D'Lo's frog splash. But nothing is touching Kairi Sane's insane elbow to me in terms of aerial moves. Her elbow drop looks completely devastating and is a thing of beauty to see, literally

Based on the criteria, I voted frog splash. It's a more believable finisher to me. I like it with elevation (ie RVD and Tez).

I felt that way too until I saw the .gif in @2 Cold Taurus' post where Macho Man took 3 years off Chris Benoit's life.

I’m going elbow drop off of Mrs. Sane’s version of the maneuver

 

[Jello Biafra]

I see you went with the one time Punk hit the elbow correctly.

Gotta go with the elbow drop. When I was a kid at a pool a friend of my mom's did the Elbow drop off the diving board, and the form was so damn perfect it was like time slowed down .

 

[Dillah810]

I gotta go w/ Frog Splash. It requires more finesse than the elbow drop.

 

[Allen Poe]

The Frog Splash is only believable as a finisher if the person executing it is morbidly obese.

No mention of Shawn Michaels' elbow drop?

Outside of Savage, HBK's elbow drop to Taker at RR 1998 is the best I've seen

First wrestling VHS I owned as a kid. Must've watched it >100 times. I can picture that elbow drop clearly in my mind's eye
