Pulse decided the Top 40* Finishers of all time!

[Postman Dave]

What's wrong with Crossrhodes? I think it's a cool move and he executes it well.

To me it's always been that generic move that gets passed around until a better finisher sticks. It's a credit to Cody that he's actually managed to make it work for him, because that and the P.O.D scream "here's something to use for now while we're pushing you".

Sort of regret not noming the Brainbustaaaaaa or Clothesline from Heck but they were both under consideration.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Oh, forgot to mention that I love how the Clothesline from Hell makes the list but I'm the only one to vote for Hansen's Lariat.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Stan who?

 

[Fuji Vice]

Stan who?

My point exactly.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Dude we are the only ones over 30 here now...it's to be expected the older guys won't get the love.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Oh I know, its no biggie.

 

[Hoss]

I feel like I definitely put my list in without due consideration. Looking at this list I don't know how I missed some of these, especially The Gringo Killa and The Brainbustahhhhh.. I woulda even put Hansen's lariat on here if I thought about it long enough. Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with my decisions.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

BRAINBUSTAAAAAAHHHH!

Honestly the WMD looks weak when Show does it. The only time I thought it look strong is when he hit Sheamus with it to counter the brogue kick. Lot of respect for the figure four but it did not make my list.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Regardless I bet it still hurts if he lands it on yah

I'm still not entirely sure what "looks weak" means? Do you want him to pinwheel his arms a few times before hitting a guy with it, or maybe cock back huge and give away what he's going to do?

 

[Walter South]

Oh no doubt, the IDEA of a man that size punching you in the face is definitely scary. I will give it that, I just do not think he does it justice, but I know he is probably limited on how real he can actually make it look and feel so I do not blame Show for it.

The closeline from hell from JBL was always a sick move in my opinion, he always made it look like it hurt. Ryback's meathook is a close second in my opinion, but honestly those are the only two that I have seen so I can judge the other mentions of lariats etc.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Look up Nikita Koloffs and Stan Hansens

You can just tell he stops short when he is punching someone, I compare it to it as if Show actually used his full range and striking power to hit someone. The two would look totally different and the latter would look crazy damaging. I just don't think the way he does it now looks very powerful, but the idea behind it does. That is all I meant buy it. I actually like Big Show a lot and respect the hell out of him. I was happy he beat Sheamus, mainly because I really do not like Sheamus all that much.

You can also argue that Show knows exactly how strong he is and exactly how far he can go with that punch. Perhaps he stops short because he knows that's enough to knock someone out rather than kill them. It would certainly seem logical that a man of his size would be careful with his own strength, even in a match where he's the evil big guy who's supposed to do whatever it takes to win. Looking at it that way, the WMD is perhaps the most dangerous finisher ever, given that we've never seen its full potential realized.
