 What's good, Josh? You're all back again with another video. So we're going to check out 10 finishers. WWE wrestlers quickly abandoned. This should be a good one. This was dropped last year by WrestleMania. So I'm interested to see what finishers was dropped by which wrestlers. But appreciate all the love and support, man. Rotes of 70 K and let's get right into this video. Finishes have been ingrained with wrestling since the very beginning. The finisher is the move the wrestler executes to finish his opponent off and hopefully win the match. The finisher in question is the most important move in a wrestler's arsenal. And should have to be the most devastating one. Almost every wrestler would have changed their finisher at one time or another. This could be for a number of reasons. The move itself may not match the gimmick that they're portraying at the time. And also the move itself may not be safe. Meaning in order to protect their fellow wrestlers, a wrestler will change their finisher to something safer. But who seemingly abandoned their original finisher? Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 abandoned finishers of WWE Superstars. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos. Number one, Seth Rollins high knee. The Seth Rollins is well known for using the curb stomp. A deadly looking finisher which involves Rollins stomping his opponent's face into the ground. Despite the legitimacy of his current finisher, there was a time when the WWE actually banned his finisher. In 2015, shortly after Rollins won the WWE title at WrestleMania 31, Vince McMahon decided the curb stomp was unsafe and ordered for it to be banned. Rollins then proceeded to use a DDT variant for a couple of matches before settling on the pedigree to tie in with the association with Triple H and the authority. That's when he started using the pedigree. After they banned the stomp, he started using the pedigree because he was tied in with Triple H. However, in 2016, Rollins would turn babyface and move away from the association with Triple H. After Rollins would defeat him at WrestleMania 33, Rollins would begin to use a knee to the face, similar to Kenny Omega's finisher. The move though was very anti-glamactic and was nothing in comparison to the popular curb stomp finisher. Now, this would be the case until Rollins would return the curb stomp finisher in January 2018. Yeah, his curb stomp, it's always been a better finisher. It's more fluid. Granted, I don't like how John Cena sells it when he gets hit with it, but it's always been a better finisher in my opinion. Using the pedigree, we all know that's tied in with Triple H. I'm glad he got rid of doing that. Michaels, a teardrop suplex. Long before Shawn Michaels had become famous for the sweet chin music, HBK would have a very anti-glamactic finisher that didn't really suit his gimmick at all and was in drastic need of a change. That was his finisher? Michaels would use a finisher called the teardrop suplex. The finisher was basically a leg hook suplex, which was made famous by Masa Saito in Japan. Michaels would use the move between the years of 1992 and 1993, and interestingly, the sweet chin music was still part of his move set and usually preceded the teardrop suplex. Naturally, HBK realized that the suplex was the perfect fit for him. So around 1993, he would drop the suplex and just use the sweet chin music going forward. Sweet chin music would then go on to be one of the most famous finishing moves in the history of WWE. Number three, The Miz, Miz of Oz. When The Miz debuted in 2006, many fans thought he wouldn't last. His act was extremely corny and this translated to is at the time at below average in ring work. This also translated to his relationship with his co-workers. Miz was notably disliked and was even kicked out of the SmackDown locker room at one stage. Miz's early days as a wrestler in the WWE wasn't great to say the least as he would come across as awkward and unnatural. The finisher The Miz used would be called The Miz of Oz, obviously a pun on the classic movie The Wizard of Oz. The move itself would be basically a swinging neck breaker without the swinging. Miz was so green at this point in his career that it looked like he just fell over when executing it. Luckily, Miz would later go on to use the skull crushing finale. Yeah, that's way better. The Miz of Oz cringes and doesn't look effective at all. At least the skull crushing finale looks a little bit more effective. Miz himself would go on to be one of the WWE's most successful stories and would even go on to win the WWE title. Number 4 John Cena Protobomb Prior to John Cena ascending to the top of the WWE and prior to him becoming famous for using the attitude adjustment or the air view to finish off his opponents, Cena used a different finisher. Cena would use a spin-out powerbomb and it actually looked really good as Cena was naturally strong so it looked devastating. The move would be called the Protobomb which was appropriately named after his FCW name of the Prototype. However, in 2003, Cena would enter a feud with the then WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. This was the first time that Cena had received a main event level push and to get inside of the head of Lesnar he would begin to use the FU as a pun on Lesnar's finisher, the F5. He would then use it moving forward and would be later renamed the attitude adjust- I didn't even know that's how they got the name because that was actually pretty cool. Because the F5 is still one of the craziest, most savage finishing moves of all time. But the fact that he was feuding with him at the time so he was like I'm gonna call this the FU instead of the F5. I like that. And then they changed it to the attitude adjustment for PG reasons. Adjustment after WWE went PG in the summer of 2008. Number 5, Randy Orton the Ozone. What? The RKO without question is one of the most popular finishing moves of all time. I remember when he did that, he did the splendid hair. I was like what the fuck Randy? He was even turned into a meme. Even people who don't watch WWE know what the RKO is and who executes it. However, there was actually a time when Orton wasn't hitting the RKO out of nowhere. When Orton made his WWE debut in 2002 on the SmackDown brand Orton would use a move called the Ozone. The move in essence was the same as MVP's hair maker. It would involve Orton bending his opponent over, locking his leg around the wrestler's head, keeping hold of their arm and then spinning him down to the mat. The move is terrible and in Orton's defense, it's been done by so many WWE superstars over the years that it never looks good. It looked good in that first one. It definitely looked good in that first one. I think Randy could have possibly pulled it off, but the RKO is perfect for him. Orton would debut the RKO and the rest, as they say, is history. Number six, Kane, falling powerbomb. Many fans associate the legendary Kane with either the Choeslam or the Tombstone pile driver as his finisher. However, there was a period when Kane used a new finishing move and it actually looked incredible. In 2001, Kane was positioned as a top babyface and he would need a new finishing move to go alongside the Choeslam as the Tombstone had been semi-retired, albeit moderate uses from the Undertaker. However, even the Undertaker had adopted the last ride to use as an appropriate replacement. Being his half-brother, Kane would begin to use a similar move, the falling powerbomb. The powerbomb was previously in Kane's arsenal, but in 2001, it became his finisher. It would be a much quicker powerbomb than fans would traditionally see and Kane would fall down with his opponent and then roll into a cover. The move looked awesome, but unfortunately, Kane would start using the Choeslam again as his main finisher after his return from injury in 2002. Maybe injury could have been part of the reason, because you're falling down with that person, so all that pressure is going to your knees, so I can see that. Number seven, Triple H, Diamond Cutter. Didn't know Triple H used to use the Diamond Cutter. What the hell, the Pedigree-Pandemonium? I'm glad he ended up using just the Pedigree, but the fuck is the Pedigree-Pandemonium? That's bad. Now, regardless of the name, the move was notable for being used by Diamond Dallas Page at the same time in WCW and being called the Diamond Cutter. Famously, DDP requested that Triple H pick a different move to use as his finisher, and he obliged out of respect for the future Hall of Famer. Triple H then began to use the Pedigree, a move that would make him famous and would win him countless world titles. Interestingly, the Cutter move would be used by Triple H's stablemate Randy Orton in the Evolution Stable as of 2003. Orton would get permission. Yeah, uh, someone's at the gate. I guess, uh, I got a package coming, or, I don't know, what's going on? Oh, okay. Just to see it, so she ordered something. Alright, back to the video. Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, I must have missed that part. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, that's cool. That's cool, he got permission. Of course. Yep. Mmm. Mmm. Ah, yeah. Ah, yeah, I'm glad he changed that up. Mmm. Yeah. Mmm. It does. Wow. I did not even realize that. I forgot. I didn't even realize that. Mmm. Wow. Mmm. Mmm. Wow, bro, that was, that was pretty cool. I did not know, I did not know Triple H was using a somewhat of a cutter variant in his earlier, early in his career. Like, I didn't know the FU came from Brock feuding with Sina and Sina going with the part, you know, mocking the F5 as calling it the FU. Like, these were pretty cool, bro. Like, you know, I'm not even lying to you. This was an informative video. I saw it in my sub box. I've never seen it. It was dropped last year by WrestleMania. You know what? Let me go ahead and check it out with you guys. Cause this was cool, man. I like videos like this where you find out some things you didn't even know. And it's cool to see that, uh, you know, some of these wrestlers how they transform their finishing moves, what they used to be to what they are now. And ultimately it makes their character as a whole much better. But comment down below. Let me know which finishing move surprised you from this clip. Like, what did you really didn't know? I think the most surprising one was probably the, uh, Jericho one because I didn't even know he was using that move. I didn't even know that was a thing. You know, I never really paid attention to it. I always paid attention to where we need the walls of Jericho or the cold breaker, but I never really knew that was one of his finishers. So that was pretty cool. Interesting. Well, I appreciate our love and support, bro. It's cool. Send a message. I appreciate you talking to me. See you all next week. Peace.
