Onslaught,
you'll help make sure we're around for years to come. Toss us as little as
a few bucks, or as much as your generosity allows. Thanks!
Yeah, that's a great move and that gets used by a lot of guys. D'Lo, Dreamer, Knox.
Actually, hasn't Riley been using it as a set up move? He might have even won one or two matches with it.
Oh, and Crimson has been using it as his finisher.

I don't remember ever seeing Riley use the Sky High. Wasn't Riley using a sit-out uranage like Lance Cade used to use? Speaking of which,
that's a pretty cool finish, as well.

Chris Sabin's Cliffhanger/Chuck Palumbo's Full Throttle is a viable finisher. Safe and great to see. And it's not like Palumbo was
ever a household name.

aka The Rikishi Driver. Don't
think it's WWE-approved since it involves dropping the opponent head first.
quote:I also rate combination finishers, like a powerbomb into a Boston crab.
Now, this is original and could work. I recall Elijah Burke once
used a front Russian Leg Sweep (aka Jarrett's Stroke) and transitioned directly into the Rings of Saturn. I think either that whole sequence or
the Rings of Saturn was dubbed the "Elijah Experience". Also, Christopher Daniels' Flatliner into the Koji Clutch. Nice suggestion.
quote:Anyone else miss seeing Monty Brown hit the Pounce?
You know, Monty, excuse me, Marcus Cor Von, wasn't around long enough to
create a lasting impression. And the Pounce is super safe and visually impressive. Great idea. And since I'm set on Mason Ryan using the
Jackhammer, I say give the Pounce to Titus O'Neil. It'd go well with his barking gimmick.
Apart from William Regal, I think there's another
one in the WWE, but I can't remember who right now.

I don't recall Riley's Uranage. I know he uses Rock's forward Spinebuster.
Ted DiBiase uses a nice-looking Sitout Spinebuster, but not as a finisher. Titus O'Neil is actually using the Sky High as a finisher on NXT. He
calls it the "Clash of the Titus". The Sitout Uranage is a clever way of utilizing the Uranage as a finisher, without invoking comparisons to the
Rockbottom.
[Edit: changed "STO" to "Flatliner"]

Yep, you're right. He does use a TKO hich looks pretty cool, though. I think that's a good finisher for him.
Riley's also used the Stretch Muffler, oddly enough.
Anyway, here's Cade's Sitout Uranage (2:30 in):

I liked how Dreamer used to do the Sky High into the Boston Crab.
What about the Michonoku driver, the Falcon Arrow and Finlay's Celtic Cross? (I mean the emerald fusion if I'm getting Finlay's name
wrong). All safe and cool looking.
Also, Kelly Kelly should steal Madison Rayne's head humping move as her finisher. Best move ever.

I read from one of CMP's posts that Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley is using Finlay's Celtic Cross/Air
Raid Crash as his finisher in FCW.
I think CM Punk busted out the Falcon Arrow as recently as Hell in a Cell.
Michinoku Driver would be a decent and (relatively) easy-to-execute Divas finisher. Certainly better than the X-Factor that pops out in every new
generation of WWE Divas.
Speaking of Taka, how fucking brilliant is this as a finisher? I think it's called the "Just Facelock", which is basically just a
face/chinlock. I wonder if it would be as well-received in the States as it is in Japan, since everyone and their grandma has shit on Orton and his
chinlock.
I found where Batista adapted his "Rings of Saturn" variant from - from fucking Nagata.
It won't hurt Daniel Bryan to add another submission finisher to his arsenal (besides the LaBell Lock and the Guillotine Choke) if they're
looking to portray him as a Submission Machine. I suggest Lo Ki's Dragon Clutch (Dragon Sleeper/Camel Clutch combo). Sidenote: come back, Kaval!

Someone said the WWE wouldn't like that move because you can't see the opponent's face and the pain/emotion.
But I just watched an old Delirious match and he did like a cobra clutch neckbreaker across the knee, then flipped over and bridged into like a camel
clutch choke. That could be a pretty cool finisher.
You know what was terrible though? The Steiner Recliner. Never looks like it hurt.

The ROH kids have some of the nicest submissions I've ever seen. I think Delirious calls that the Cobra Stretch. Low Ki's Dragon Clutch
and Austin Aries' Last Chancery both look sick. Chris Hero's Hangman's Clutch is money when he torques it after grabbing the
cravate.

I don't watch NXT(Don't even know when/where it's on), but I just read a tweet about Percy Watson's new finisher is a
fireman's carry into a pancake. The F-5 is back? NXT people back this one up.
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

The most believable (and coolest) variant of that sort of thing would surely be the tongan death grip which is coincidentally probably the most
stealable too.
I remember how pissed I was when Meng lost to Goldberg. I forget how it happened, but Meng went for the Death Grip, Goldberg was on his back so the
ref started a count,Goldberg kicks out so Meng releases the grip and one spear/jackhammer later is just another victim.
A ho fucks everybody. A bitch fucks everybody but you.
