And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Kenta Kobashi's Burning Hammer. Arguably the most protected Finisher of all time (when done by him) with a 100% success rate.

It might just be seeing it live for the first time recently, but gently caress man is it cool and good.

The best finisher is an accidental one that nearly murders your opponent but looks cool so you keep using it:

I know it was Shuji Kondo's first, but he never did it as a finisher. Murphy rules, anyway.

Super Dragon is very much a relic of the 2000s indy scene but his Curb Stomp is far cooler than anyone elses and the Psycho Driver is rad too.

Taichi still uses the buzzsaw kick for a signature move. It still rules.

Made better by the angle set up where Regal is hesitant to let him compete, finally relents, then does lots of over the top reactions while Tajiri basically commits legalized manslaughter on Crash Holly.

As far as finishers go, man do I love a properly executed piledriver. Variations are cool, but a properly executed one is so credible, Punk drilling for oil with Cena on RAW is a perfect example, the crowd reacts pretty great to that sequence.

Hey yo, it's survey time:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LXTDGFG

Rowdy Ringsport 2019 Finisher Survey featuring questions such as Ranking WCW Finishers, and choosing the best finish from http://www.wwe.com/article/10-greatest-top-rope-finishing-maneuvers

Results should be set to real time but I will post results after it runs for awhile

It depends on if the opponent sells the hell out of it. Like I would have a hard time buying Shibata’s soccer kick as a legit finisher if his opponent didn’t treat it like their sternum just got destroyed.

Submissions are the best finishes but wrestling has very few good submissions

Liontamer is still my fave. Not the lovely Walls of Jericho crab but the elevated crab with the knee to the neck owns.
