Howdy Blog O' Doomers,
Holy shit it's getting hot in Florida. For most of the "winter" it's been nice with the occasional cold front busting in for a couple of days to break up the monotony but late last week the hot season official began. So there's hope for you guys stuck in the never ending stretch of cold and snow.
Anyway, this talk of finishers got me thinking what else is out there that could be recycled and used again. So many good finishers, like the DDT, have become transitional moves and it makes reprogramming the crowd to look at them as finishing moves again quite difficult. Anyway my small list.
Jackhammer -- Someone mentioned this one and it's an easy one for any of the power guys to do. It would probably need a good secondary move to set it up but if Reigns tires of using the spear, and given the potential of a neck issue that could happen, I could see him using this move effectively because it looks good and is pretty simple.
Running Powerslam -- I've seen Davey Boy's old finisher used a couple of times to finish matches but more as a transition move. Again it's a nice move for a power wrestler. It would look better for Big E to use this than the Big Ending in my opinion.
Hot Shot/Stun Gun -- I like this as a finisher for a mid-sized heel. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfDUMrMw_Gs) and imagine would some of the promotion's better workers could do to sell that move.
Gordbuster -- This is a little dangerous because a mistake can go really bad. But Arn Anderson is an agent and could teach the right guy how to do it safely since it was his move at one point in his career. And I like the way Arn does it, he goes to his knees so the head is protected but the impact still looks good. (http://youtu.be/0sMhAT8ip00?t=1m59s)
Anyway I had one more but I can't think of it so that's all I got. Thread starts a little early tonight but that's ok. Enjoy the show and keep it clean.
