Seeing Ultimate Warrior kick out of the Hogan leg drop was insane. .

what makes it more insane is that you imagined it.....because it never happened.... hogan went for the leg drop and UW moved out of the way and splashed him.... the first person to kick out of the Hogan leg drop was Sid at WM 8 because Papa Shango botched when he was supposed to run in actually lol

ah ur right. My bad. He hit him with the boot and then Warrior moved.

Just when the feud is long/important enough to merit an "epic" false finish match.

Of the main event guys, Punk is the one who does it best. Very few people have kicked out of the GTS and when they have, it's been on a big time match.

Yeah plus a lot of times if its not the finish they'll have the guy "fall out of the ring" instead. And even commentary will help protect it when a guy kicks out by throwing in the old line "I don't think he got all of it on that one."

Slightly off topic but I always laugh every time Barrett goes for Wasteland because he hasn't actually hit the move in well over a year. Still tries it every match and they get out of it every time.

Tongan death grip

I always thought the Togan Death Grip was an underrated submission that somebody should be using right now.

when had anybody really kicked out of the killswitch/unprettier? seriously, almost NOBODY kicks out of that, i dont even remember the last time someone has, and all bs aside, thats a LEGIT finisher, it looks like itd kill someone, and i guess im kinda old school in the sense that i like a finisher that any guy no matter their size can do their finisher on anyone else no matter the size, thats y the stunner was great, and sweet chin music is great, can hit it on anybody and from out of nowhere

Hmm true

Killswitch may work but nikkas push out of it all the time.

Good thread. The point at which I realised that finishers weren't protected is when Rock had to do 3 Rock Bottoms to beat Austin. Don't get me wrong, they did it the right way as far as displaying that Rock had to give his all to put Austin away but to me, finishers should always be that move that take guys out near enough every time the first time around.

exactly bruh. I mean it's fukkin SCSA; he's not some oversized big man like Kane where you could suspend your belief to accept 3 Rock Bottoms

 

[mortuus est]

You guys dont like it when they do their signature move more than once?

i like that shyt sometimes, offcourse if kane or underaker or the big guys do a finisher on the smaller guys understand its nent to finsh them.

but when you have guys like kurt angle, the rock, stone cold, triple h and a few others that were top carders in 00 - 03 it was kool seeing kurt angle give booker t 3 angle slams or stone cold giving a few stunners to the rock and still fighting on.

oh yeah rhyno's gore was a kool finisher

 

[Daracell]

Once Rob hit his 5 star, dont remeber anybody kicking out of it

 

[luckyse7enz]

I don't mind when people kick out of that desperation finisher...you know what I mean?

Like, when they're slugging it out and they've already hit their finishers and kicked out....then a hot sequence of shyt happens that results in a finisher coming out of nowhere and both guys being out of it for a while before a cover's made...

I don't mind that..

Rock/Cena II was ri-donkey-diculous though.
