 What's good, Josh Boros back again with another video. So we're going to check out 10 WWE wrestlers who had a more brutal alternate finisher. Now, this should be a very interesting video because sometimes alternate finishes you would think should probably be the main finisher. But we're going to check out some of these instances where wrestlers alternate finishes were better than their main finisher or came off as more devastating. Should be a very interesting one. Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's get right into this bad boy, man. Evolution is one of the key parts in keeping a wrestler popular and relevant. Evolution can take many forms. It can take it a form of a new gimmick or persona or it can be the introduction of a brand new finishing move. This is always a risky decision to make as the new finishing move has to stand out when contrasted against the wrestlers prior finishing move for sure should always make a logical sense to the gimmick of the respective wrestler. Sometimes the new finishing move is positively received by fans and that wrestler will implement the finisher into their arsenal for the remainder of their career. However, it's also often the case that fans left confused by the finishing move and the move is quickly abandoned and the wrestler hopes that fans it raise it from their memories.

Let's get right into this one. Should be a good one. Number 10, Randy Orton, the punk kick. Oh, the punk kick is it's just classic and it fit his theme, bro. The voice is in his head. He was deranged and it's effective because when you really think about it, you kick someone in the head. They're done. CTE all over the place and the RKO is a very dope, uh, you know, finisher, but that punk kick. Oh, that she was so good, man. A new finishing move back in 2007. Oh, so good. Finishing move the RKO is without a doubt one of the most famous finishing moves ever. But Orton WWE decided to take the risk by expanding Orton's repertoire during his vastly underrated feud with Shawn Michaels. Orton introduced the punk. Oh my God, so good people in the skull and it was presented as one of the most devastating and sinister moves in WWE at the time. According to Orton during an interview with Talksport, it was a legendary on Anderson who came up with the idea. The punk kick was on Anderson's idea. I believe it was in 2007 and I was working with the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels and I believe he was the first guy that I kicked in the head. Then it was a different time and I kicked a lot of people in the head. I talk about taking care of your opponent and I talk about how your number one priority should be making sure that you physically have your opponent's back above even having the best match on the card. It should be about taking care of each other as a first priority. So with that punk kick, it was hard. It was hard because I've got to make this thing look good, but it's kind of hard to work for lack of a better term. I kicked to the head something that devastating. Yeah, due to a strong presentation, Orton was able to get the move over and whenever Orton has hit the move in recent years, it's always received a significant ovation from the audience. Yeah, because it was protected and it looks devastating. Someone running full speed and kicking you in the head like a damn soccer ball. You do that to someone in real life. You're going to jail and they're going to definitely be in the hospital. So it just worked in once again. It fit his deranged theme like he wasn't using this finisher. He was trying to legit put you on the shelf. Love the punk kick. Number nine, Batista, Batista bite in 2000. I remember this one final few weeks in the company. He decided to introduce a new submission based finishing move. The reason for the introduction of the move was to give Batista a possible move to defeat his archrival John Cena and the question was known as the Batista bite. Despite the move being short lived, it looked fantastic as it was in essence a scissored armbar cross face and some fans compared it to the notable submission move. The rings of the satin fans will always remember the Batista bombers, Batista's primary finishing move, yet a submission based move was certainly one that had the ability to get over and connect with the audience. Well, yeah, Mark Henry slumped. Damn. Number eight, Kevin Owens, the stunner. Whenever wrestler reuses the finisher, the finisher is always going to be I had to get used to it. I definitely did have to get used to him using the stunner. I'm okay with it because I mean, I think we all Kevin Owens is so he's great. He's fantastic, but I really did have to get used to it initially. It's the original version of the move. When Kevin Owens decided to use the stunner as a finishing move, it took a considerable amount of time for fans to react positively because the stunner was synonymous with Stone Cold Steve Austin and even John Cena had a tough time in getting his variation over. While speaking to inside the ropes, Owens would discuss why he decided to adopt the move and he even revealed that he asked Austin permission before he started incorporating the move into his arsenal. So I tried to think of something new that nobody was doing and then it occurred to me that nobody was really doing the stunner and then you know I was looking at the landscape of things and everybody does a superkick. The superkick was sure Michael's his finishing move. Nobody ever used it as good as him. Nobody was using the stunner and to me, those are pretty much two of the most iconic finishes of all time. So I'm like, well, the super kicks obviously kind of spoken for the stunner is my favorite move of all time. It's a lot of people's favorite move of all time. I know the guy who used to do it. I'm going to go and ask him. So I did. He was very happy to tell me I could use it. Give me his blessing. He said, I don't know why nobody came to me sooner about it. Yeah, which is crazy. It was just finding the right time to do it. And I think it's because just out of respect because they know it's not as soon as you do it, it's not going to it's going to take fans time to really buy into it. The only reason why I work with Kevin Owens because Kevin Owens is he's more or less liked by the fan base and it took some time and is one of those things where he was able to really expound upon it when he ended up talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin and they had their few going into WrestleMania that year. But it took time for fans to actually be like, you know what? I'm okay with it. Now fans are okay with him doing it, but it took time. Anybody else that's not Kevin Owens or you know, not at that level of of Kevin Owens in the sense of being at the top of the car. Kevin Owens is mostly usually at the upper tier range in WWE and has been for a while. I don't I don't think it even works even with them like it is DOA on arrival type situation. Once I started using it on television, it just took off from there and it's funny because it's been like a conflicting point for some people. You know, like I also have some people saying it's awesome that you use it. Number seven will be Lashley Hurtlock which are WWE fans associate the full Nelson submission with Chris Masters. Yeah. During the Ruthless aggression era Masters used the move and he labeled it as the master lock. Yeah. Masters managed to get the move over to such a degree that WWE began presenting the Master Lock challenge on Raw. Interestingly, the man who eventually broke the hold that being Bobby Lashley would be the one to reuse the move as during Lashley second run in WWE, he began to use the move as a secondary finishing move. Lashley similarly to Masters got the move over and he won his first WWE title with the submission. I like when he used his demo as the Hurtlock in 2021. Number six Bray Wyatt The Mandible Claw. The Mandible Claw is one of the most under-appreciated finishes around. The move was introduced by Mick Foley in WWE and it saw Foley places middle and ring finger into his opponent's mouth and pressed down on the bottom tissue. In theory, the pain of the hold should be so severe that the opponent should pass out. It was welcome when Bray Wyatt's the fiend character decided to use the move as it was about time that the move was introduced to a new generation. It was the perfect move for the fiend to use and in a selfless segment, Foley would even allow the fiend to deliver the move to him in this segment on Raw. It's common for wrestlers to be extremely visceral if wrestlers use their established move. Yet this wasn't the case with Foley. Simply put, Foley had nothing but love for the fiend using his trademark move. Which worked. It worked with his character. It was cool. Foley. One thing about Mick Foley, which we once again, we always got to give credit to, he is all about putting people over, bro. However he can, he will do what he can to put you over, even if that means letting you use his iconic move to get you over. I'm all for it, bro. Number five, Daniel Bryan, running knee. Daniel Bryan ascended to become one of the most popular stars in WWE. It made sense for Bryan to introduce a new finishing move. His prior move was known as the yes. Love the most top wrestlers. They usually have a secondary move to use when WWE don't want to go with a submission based finish for a match. Bryan introduced the running knee move in the summer of 2013 and he couldn't have picked a better match. Such a good move to. Bryan was wrestling John Cena at SummerSlam and he used the new move to defeat WWE's franchise guy and win the WWE title. Love their move. He's instantly put the move over as he had been seen and from that point onwards, the fans accepted the move as credible and legitimate. Number four, love that running knee is so good. He builds up for it. Oh, so good. So good. I wish he was ain't gonna lie to you. I do kind of wish he was in WWE still. McIntyre Claymore when Drew McIntyre returned to WWE in 2017, he introduced a new finish which was known Claymore is really good to know that McIntyre did use a move in his prior run on a few occasions, yet it was never marketed or labeled as a finishing move. McIntyre had previously used a future shock DDT, but this was a new move that allowed McIntyre to win matches in an intense yet quick manner. McIntyre's had significant success with the move, having defeated names such as Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton and Goldberg. Number three, the Undertaker TCB. The Undertaker's Hell's Gate finishing move isn't the only submission move that the Undertaker incorporated into one of his many incarnations. During the Ruthless aggression era, the Undertaker began to use an alternative move as his finisher and it was known as the taking care of business. The move would offer the abbreviated simply TCB and it saw the dead man perform a dragon sleeper on his opponent and it looked painful. It didn't warrant the crowd response that WWE were looking for. The move was quickly retired and the dead man would only use it on rare occasions, most notably at WrestleMania 21. I forgot he did this. I mean, it makes sense. It didn't really get over so they kind of buried it. I will have you do the other stuff you've been doing. When he collided with the legend killer Randy Orton. Number two, Chris Jericho, Codebreaker. When Y2J Chris Jericho returned to WWE in 2007, he once again showed the world why he was the undisputed king of evolution. Jericho returned with a new look and a brand new finishing move and it would keep the iconic walls of Jericho, but he would also introduce the Codebreaker. The Codebreaker is a double knee facebreaker and at first it was apparent that the fans were struggling to connect with the move. However, over time it became a stable of Jericho's character and he still uses the move 15 years on from his initial debut. But this isn't the first time that Jericho introduced a new finisher as in 2001 he introduced the Breakdown. This was a version of the Miz's skull crushing finale and due to the move failing to make any type of statement, the move was eventually retired. That's crazy, but it works with the Miz. That's crazy how some moves work with some wrestlers and it works better with others. And number one, Roman Reigns, Guillotine Show. Yeah, 2020 was a year in which WWE finally pulled a trigger on turning Roman Reigns heel. Yes, this was so good. He would debut as tribal chief persona and he would be joined by Paul Heyman in what would become a run of widespread praise as well as critical and financial success for WWE. As part of the new heel character, Reigns decided to introduce a new submission move. Love it. It was a deadly Guillotine choke. Love it. The best possible move for Reigns and due to the move looking incredibly legitimate, fans instantly took it seriously. Reigns had great success with the move having choked out the likes of Braun Strowman and Daniel Bryan and although Reigns still prefers to use the spears as primary finishing move, the Guillotine choke is always waiting to make a sudden reappearance. They have it folks. 10 news. It fits his character. It fits how he had changed because yeah, you can have him go out there and still do a spear as a heel. But you saw once he applied I remember when he applied it first and I was like, oh shit. He's just he's doing different moves and he's choking him out and he has this aggressiveness. He's talking trash while he's doing it. Just putting somebody to sleep and then they fade off. It's perfect because it matched his intensity and matched the change in his character. Now he's not here to hit you with a spear and in the match. No, he's he's willing to choke you out and hold it too. I love that love that and you can do that to set up a little hype moment for the baby face to try to overcome the guillotine. Right? It's it's it's a good addition to his move set. A lot of these were actually great for the the particular character that they were trying to, you know, elevate different moves with or add more moves with because it worked with the wrestler's character at that time.
