We all have our favorites, and for different reasons. The can be basic and simple, they can come from out of nowhere, or they so amazing your left wondering how, and if the person who received it is still alive. Yes, wrestling is scripted, but the moves can be dangerous or deadly, hence why the pro's do it, and we the fans watch (if you try them, your not a fan, you are an idiot).
Here's the Non-Geeky Nerds Top 5 Favorite finishers;
5) Sweet Chin Music/Super Kick
Whether its with the band tuning up or from out of nowhere, and also regardless of who delivers it, this move makes the list. Surprise factor (timing), and there is also room for error that could leave the move looking weak or the receiver left toothless. You "baby" the move and everyone will see you didn't connect, but if you go too hard, your gonna connect with the persons head/face.
4) K.O. Punch
There really isn't anything more basic than a straight right or left hook. However, when it is delivered by a 7ft 500lbs giant, that basic move becomes weapon of mass destruction. Every time Big Show (Paul White) delivers his K.O. Punch, I find myself wondering what if? Imagine if Show connected with one by accident or if he was pissed off at the person (backstage heat)? Scary stuff.
3) Rock Bottom
I almost put the Stunner in this position, but the needed boot before delivery bumped it in place of this one. Rock Bottom or if your a Booker T fan, Book End, is a finsiher that is both something that can come from out of nowhere but also for a photo op moment (ie Rock/Hogan WM18). And either way, it usually signals The Rock is about to get the W.
2) R.K.O/Diamond Cutter
The move is owned by Randy Orton right now (not complaining), but before it became the R.K.O., most of us knew it as the Diamond Cutter. Regardless of the name or who uses it, this move is a favorite because it can happen at anytime and can come from out of nowhere. Even in situations where we know Orton is going to win the match, we are left with the possibility of a surprise on "when" the match will end.
1) The Canadian Destroyer
If you have not seen this move before, I urge you to at least check it out on Youtube. The wrestler who is known for this, is Canada's own, Petey Williams. I don't really have to get into just how dangerous this move is, as we all know the risk involved in a basic piledriver, but a flipping piledriver? Gives you that "Sick" feeling in both the good and bad way at the same time every time you see it.
Honorable mentions are Stone Cold's Stunner, 'Takers Tombstone, Jericho's Lionsault and Macho Man's Elbow Drop. Not on the list because they are even more obvious than the ones already listed, but also because I like them for who delivered them.
Stay Nerdy!
