What’s the kayfabe reason wrestlers don’t use others finishers?

[TL15]

Like if I kick you in the gut why would I do a DDT when I can do a stunner and end the match

Or I’m on the top rope and I can hit a frog splash and I only do a regular splash

Is this ever explained?

Wrong answers only of course

Cause then you a biting ass faggit instead of being your own man





Barter 6 ass nikka

Back in the day you could likely chalk it up to you don't try other people's finisher cause you're not "proficient" with it so as it's not as effective.

But now days in the spot happy multiple kick out era it's harder to explain not trying more finishers. I still would say the it's not your specialty aspect carries over but to a less effect.

Not a finisher but Miz doing the "it" kicks have never looked as clean as the "yes" kicks they copy for example

Why doesn't every NBA player try Kareem's hook shot? Or Dirk's fade?

Signature moves are "signature" moves for a reason. Same in kayfabe when it comes to wrestling moves.

Brothers, stop with so many Sweet Chin...ahem, super kicks...

cause its territorial

 

[Womb Raider]

Cuz then every match would be Edge vs Randy Orton @ Backlash 2020

It costs two finishers to do your opponent’s one, and some wrestlers build up their Smackdown meter slower than others so they haven’t got any finishers stored

Same reason you don't try long bomb to the end zone one every play in the NFL

You don't want to show up the boys in the back. Simple as that.

When I started out in this business I had an arsenal of finishers that would have shut people like Cornette and Meltzer up. The reason I had to settle on a power bomb is the first two finishers I was able to successfully execute at house shows (it's called the Canadian Destroyer now, but in the 90's I did that move except after flipping I powerbombed the opponent; the other was a top rope Spanish Fly DDT) showed up some of the boys, and Vince told me that because of my height, I shouldn't be doing those moves.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Because they haven't mastered it like the person who uses it like a finisher

Why doesn't every NBA player do a skyhook? Or a double step back 3, or mj's turnaround jumper?

This explains it well

You gotta work on it
