Is There a Finisher Today That Gets a Big Reaction Like The Old Days?

[DaylitoJames]

Brehs maybe it's just me but about at least 80% of finishing moves suck and gets no reaction from me. Its not like the old days when Austin would hit the Stone Cold Stunner and JR would lose his damn mind "BY GAAWD HE JUST WHOOPED A MAN'S ASS!" or when Diamond Dallas Page hit the Diamond Cutter and the crowd is on their feet cheering or when Goldberg lifts a opponent up for the Jackhammer with Heenan screaming "DA MAAAAAANNN!!!" or everyone in the crowd screaming "3D!" for the Dudley Death Drop or stomping along as HBK tunes up the band for some Sweet Chin Music and etc.

Now other than Orton's "RKO" and Cesaro "Neutralizer" on the giant opponents... is there anyone that has a finishing move today that brings out the emotion in everyone watching... or has finishers been no-sold to the point where it's just a normal move?

 

[jackswstd]

No current moves make me jump out of my seat. Everyone has either bland finishers or variations of someone else's finisher.

 

[Geek]

I think it also has to do with commentary.

Right now the only moves I get excited for are non-finishers, like a running enzuguri or a good ol' kick to the head.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I think in every fed except the E there are wrestlers that have spectacular finishers, so to a degree ... Yes

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I'll tell you how well they protected moves back then. I was watching the Undertaker Streak DVD on Netflix and when Jake hit the DDT EVERY motherfukka in the building thought it was over and this is Undertaker when he used to sit up from everything and no sell punches, etc..

 

[MercuryHayes]

Youre over rating the moves and under rating the fans/commentaries influence on the viewers.

give petey williams a shot in the WWE I bet he could get the canadian destroyer over but vince wouldnt let him use it

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

I WENT DEAF FROM THE REACTION TO THE LEG DROP, BROTHER! FORTUNATELY NASA LOANED ME THE TECHNOLOGY TO REGAIN MY HEARING, DUDE!

 

[MrFirst2doit]

5 star frog splash still gets the job done...also, don't recall anybody ever kicking out of it in recent memory... especially RVD gets mad air time with it...and when Brock hits the F5 doesn't seem like anybody is kicking out of that either...

Rainmaker, F-5, lebell/yes/no lock, go to sleep/g.t.s., Tito ortizes was so big that it was knocked out the entire audience from the shear power of his presence.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Rainmaker is god, simple, yet awesome.

im disgusted with what they did to the walls of jericho...turned it into basically a boston crab...and it was still over for most of jericho's recent run but it wasnt protected, at all.

 

[I-Hate-You]

Hogan's throwing a guy over the top rope and wipe of the hands. Over every time.

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

True, I don't even know what most these guys finishers are. Has Ziggler ever won with the zig zag?

Also I think people should get the pin with signature and regular moves a lot more often, to raise the suspense of not knowing when a match is over.
