Weak finishers?

Upon reading your comments about Dolph Ziggler in the "killing finishers" topic, it got me to thinking that he's really a guy who would benefit from having a better finishing move. The Zig Zag is fine, but it often looks sloppy and just seems like it's a move that lends itself so well visually to missing, that Dolph almost goes into his matches with the intention of not connecting with it. There seems to always be that one spot in a Dolph match where he'll try for the Zig Zag, his opponent will grab the rope to casually block, and Ziggler will crash backwards to the mat like a doofus. I'm no expert, but consistently building to spots where you whiff on your signature move doesn't seem like the best way to get over (although he certainly managed to, in spite of it).

I remember listening to a Big Show interview a while back where he said that there were a number of people backstage who were campaigning for Ziggler to get the superkick as his finisher. I can't help but think that a move like that would have fit him like a glove and done wonders for his credibility. Thoughts?

And another question: can you think of any potential cusp guys who could have had better runs with a solid finisher? Shelton Benjamin immediately comes to mind, but I'm sure that there are a ton out there.

​I still think that the Stone Cold Stunner should be fair game.  Dude's been retired for ELEVEN YEARS.  There are people who didn't even start watching wrestling until after he was gone!  Someone needs to bring that shit back.

​Anyway, around the time when Austin left, they starting bringing in all these guys who would drive me fucking bugshit because they'd all do the same stupid neckbreaker variations like a bunch of indy geeks.  The worst offenders were Shelton Benjamin as a singles guy, and MVP.  It was like watching two people trying to have tantric sex and falling over, instead of a finishing move that would hurt.  Once MVP switched to a Yakuza kick it was much better.  Too late for him by then, sadly.  Mark Henry also needed a better one, as the World's Strongest Slam just didn't look effective.  Unfortunately a lot of the guys now are limited by their "no brain-trauma-inducing" policies (bunch of wimps...) so there's no more Razor's Edge or piledriver or hitting guys in the head with unprotected chairshots repeatedly.  WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DOING BALLET.
