Finishing Sequences

[Lockard 23]

It's funny how JBL does his finisher the clothesline and wins. But a clothesline from anyone else fails. Same with the big show spear compared to Edge's. Big Show doesn't put win with the spear because it's not his finisher.

That's just part of the cartoonish nature of wrestling that makes it kinda unique. Honestly, there's almost no single move that people will see as so impactful that it's the move that will finally put someone down for the 3 count when all the other moves done to the person over the entire length of a match fail to get the job done first. There certainly isn't enough of those moves to give a different one to each wrestler. I do think, though, that this is why I tend to like submission moves better as finishers, because they are somewhat more realistic in that regard.
