Name a finisher or signature move that lost its luster?

[KravenMorehead™]

This

But Roman hit CM Punk with one of the goat spears in between the ring and the ramp

Bet. I ain't been watchin wrestlin in years i'm fukkin up

 

[Daracell]

Pop up powerbomb.

 

[Cladyclad]

Using weapons. These new wrestlers act like they scared to do some damage with chairs and the tables don't break with that intense crash and burn effect like they used to.

The same thing can be applied to chokeslams and spears.

i used to get so angry at the heel that grabbed brass knuckles from his tights. As a kid i thought how? How did i not notice a bulge in those super tight shorts (no homo)?

i missed that tho.

did the www banned stuff like that?

Wwe has become soft in some ways. The brass knuckles haven't been used since William regal and they're probably scared to bring it back.

To add on, they don't expose the turnbuckle or throw the wrestlers shoulder into the steel post like they used.

Clearly the Superkick. I blame the Young fukks, because the Usos probably watched them. Usos, Paige, Ziggler, KO, and Breeze all killed that move.

I could be wrong but I thought the Headshrinkers used to do superkicks along with Rikishi

 

[Professor Beef]

Spear. Went from a goldberg classic to edge to this new nikka roman

Edge killed the Spear since he made that shyt look like it had no impact. Roman does it better, but it could still use work.

Rikishi's was more of a sidekick I believe.

I still don't understand how the Spear evolved to become his finisher. Why did he stop using the Downward Spiral? But I have to admit, I always liked the theatrics Edge started to do before the Spear during his Rated R Superstar days.

Every finisher has lost its luster because we see it kicked out of constantly, especially at PPV's where you expect 2-3 false finishes

I died laughing when Sheamus gave Ambrose a top rope White Noise in that cage match, and Ambrose kicked out like it was a vertical suplex

I remember that

Everything is meaningless, on top of finishers being irrelevant, rarely is a story even told in the ring, just moving from one high spot to another, a circus show

When I was your age, even the wrist lock was a damaging move, would be held for 5-10 minutes straight to build the tension

It's another example of what I feel like Vince banned because kids were hurting themselves doing it and lawsuit happy moms were suing the company.... vince settles out of court in trade for a gag order but stops wrestlers from doing weapons, chair shots, pile drivers and curbstomps among other things.

shyt, talk about the DDT being the most over and protected move ever and wrestlers filming kayfabe from hospitals because of piledrivers on the concrete.


edit: Id be posting that "ufckdup" in the mirror smiley right here but I dont have it

 

[El Poyo Loco]

This might be an unpopular opinion but since Brock's returned, his F-5 doesn't have the same explosion as it used to when he was younger so the move has lost a bit of its "wow factor" for me.

I felt the same until he F-5 Michael Cole out of his shoe
