Without the sock, I will defend the Mandible Claw until the day I die. If you find it unbelievable as a finisher, clearly you've never had it done to you properly.

styles clash is a very dangerous move if not done the right way, go and ask rodrick strong
Never said it wasn’t dangerous. A lot of moves are dangerous if done the wrong way. Try taking a pop up powerbomb the wrong way....

In any case, I still think it’s awful.

Yeah that's why I specified that I didn't like Socko, I mean I did not hate the sock but it made such a great finisher look ridiculous IMO. I will always love the Mandible Claw.

I personally NEVER liked the Curb Stomp

I respectfully disagree. It is a simple move, but can be brutal looking depending on the sell. So popular that everyone freaking does it on their CAWs and I've lost track how many people have it on their e-fed characters.

Also, while it is a typical signature, it has finished some matches, but I dislike the Superman Punch. I get it's an MMA move, but the excecution of it comes off as over the top and cartoony. But Roman's Spear, that is typically good.

This can be applied to literally every move ever. Not disagreeing with any of your post (except the part about the Superman Punch...see avatar for my feelings on that one xD), just stating that the selling of any move is just as important, if not moreso, than what the actual move is

Yes!!! The curb stomp looked like it legit was messing people up and could easily be done to anyone. Now Rollins does some goofy ass knee.

I mean, I like his knee, only because my e-fed character started doing the move a while before he used it. [HASHTAG]#DidItBeforeRollins[/HASHTAG]

But I can say he should at least slap the leg to create a louder "impact" with the knee.

Ehhhh idk.... I mean it’s not terrible to me and is better than him just using the pedigree.... but, he goes from the curb stomp to the pedigree to the knee... and it feels like he’s just trying to be different and it sucks. I want the curb stomp!

A legit finisher has to look good and devastating
1)Tomb stone
2) Style's clash
3) The red arrow
4) 450 spash ( i think there was a 540 too , not sure)

Currently...I have to say...

Alexa Bliss' DDT...its a basic move nowadays and frankly its lame
she is putting so many great female performers away with it.

Jake the Snake & Raven...YES! Alexa...NO!

Get your biscuit butt up on the top rope and use the Twisted Bliss...
or get a new submission hold finisher like a choke hold or something
and call it "the Blissful Sleep"

Bayley's Bayley to Belly...is fucking lame & Blue...much like how
she has been booked since arriving on the main roster. Its a basic
move sold as a finisher...and I have always cringed at it...even when
I watched her in NXT. The flying elbow she had was better I guess...
but again...Randy did it better...and Kairi Sane has the greatest elbow
drop I've ever seen.

I do think Alexa should be doing Twisted Bliss a bit more and maybe do a different variation of the DDT in other situations, get that extra snap on it.

For Bayley, I'm one of the few Bayley fans left here it seems...But I can admit the Bayley to Belly ain't the best finisher. I personally think she can use the Guillotine Choke a bit more (she hugs her opponent's head really hard :3). But the top rope Bayley to Belly, very nice.

That's actually the move I want Alexa to start using...
Just have her latch on and not let go...and I personally
think it would work well as a heel move and it would look
good against the larger women like Nia & eventually
Charlotte...possibly.

But the top rope Bayley to Belly, very nice.
I agree with that...and it least it looks like it would
drive the air out of your lungs.

Bayley should use a Guillotine bear hug as a
submission hold. She literally hugs her way to
victory.

I feel as though that Alexa Bliss' character is essentially a "mean girl" and with her smaller size she needs to be a bit smarmy as a heel, not forcing people to pass out to out power them (or out hug them). I think a DDT variation works for her just because typically that move can be hit fairly quickly and she doesn't need to outpower someone.

Well...I don't consider choking someone out to be
overpowering them...but that's just my perspective.

I never considered the facehuggers in the Alien
film series to be overpowering people...they
simply went for the face & neck, latched on and
only let go once they'd given you that special
present.

I guess the idea of her having a quick "Out of Nowhere"
finisher makes sense...I just think her DDT is bland and
it's making all those she defeats with it look lame.
