Your favorite match finish of all-time

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

HBK defeats Hart at Mania

THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE!

 

[BrehWyatt]

Orton has a lot of candidates for this list, but a lot of his finishes, you can kind of see coming from a mile away. However... this always ranks high.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Once I saw it was Arn I KNEW it was gonna be a fake the punch into the DDT. one of my fav DDT setups

JUST watched this a couple weeks ago, Heel turn was done so very well.


Off the top I immediately thought of this match. this is raw, this is legit. this is how you end a feud.

the pop as heels against the WWF's two biggest moneymakers

Only match to have Austin vs Hulk

 

[GunRanger]

 

[Peter Parker]

My two biggest pet peeves with matches: holds, and working one body part for an injury. I hate it

Damn, I bet you hate Indie/ROH/NJPW type stuff then huh?

Tbh the isolating of one part of the body shyt is an acquired taste, I like it when I see like Angle/Benoit do it or the Dbry stuff from ROH when he did that a lot because they used a lot of interesting holds and shyt but certain wrestlers doing it like Kane or something its kind of boring

WILD PEGASUS VS BLACK TIGER

shyt is so wild!

an athletic finish, the whole finish is a gif.
that i aslo had to spoiler up..



peep one of the greatest five star matches and athletic finishes, ever.
imo, the best athletic finish in the history of wrasslin.

the one, which pioneered it occurring on the men's side.

well, in the wwe style.
a guy like kane would be neutered.
to really show that side if he had it, generally.
plus, the wwe domestically is built off the west texas redneck finish.
in general as its highest drawing template.
which is a by-product of rocky.
being translated from hogun as thunderlips.
in the basic form of rocky meets hogun in just basic psychology.
yet, when a noob mark viewer is looking to start to get a more broader base.
after shedding the mark googles, and realizing you are treading in dark waters as a consumer.
who can be easily stiffed.
while, continually supporting that style.
you, will eventually graduate to wondering what makes a match really good.
or, why you had a higher response.
to, a different template unknowingly over time.
that is what will drive a noob/mark viewer to be more receptive.
to watching and then studying shoot style encounters and the psychology.
that is behind and essentially powers.
a real physical encounter versus a trained grappler/pro.
eventually, that consumer will buy into the exhibition style of psychology based works as entertainment.

This finish is performed better and stolen from sanji duitt.
