List of professional wrestling finishing maneuvers

A finishing maneuver or finisher is a wrestler's trademark move; one that he/she relies on most of the time to end a match. For the past few decades, virtually every professional wrestler has his/her own finishing move, usually with a name that suits the wrestler's gimmick. The finisher may simply be a glorified version of a move that other wrestlers use as a regular maneuver, or it may be an innovative attack that no one else had executed before. Regardless, if a wrestler is scripted to lose a match after receiving a finisher, he will sell that move as if it is the most damaging attack in his opponent's arsenal.

Most finishers take time to set up and execute, and require that the victim be already somewhat dazed. This convention creates some opportunities for the storyline. A wrestler might attempt his finisher too early, without having worn down his opponent enough -- the finisher will then fail, as the intended victim will extricate himself from the hold preceding the finisher, or simply move out of the way. Thus, a failed finisher can backfire badly if it is a high-risk maneuver.

In recent years, however, some finishers have emerged that require little or no set-up time and effort, and can be sprung on a fully capable opponent almost instantly.

Wrestling fans tend to cheer if a face successfully performs his finisher, or boo if it is a heel. This is because they know the match will soon end, with the winner being the wrestler who executed his/her finisher. Only in very rare occasions does a wrestler get back up after receiving his/her opponent's finisher.

In Japanese puroresu, however, finishers are not quite as devastating, where they are seen more as signature moves. Many Japanese wrestlers have multiple finishers. A wrestler may have to perform his finisher two or three times in a row or use multiple finishers in order to put his/her opponent down long enough for the referee to make the three count. Often, an opponent will kick out of a finisher, only to fall victim to a less powerful move that affects the same area afterwards.

Examples of well-known finishers:

• Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner, a three-quarter facelock chinbreaker. One of the main draws of this move is that it can come out quickly and without warning. When Austin is portrayed as a foul mouthed rebel, he would perform the Stunner on every wrestler he met, regardless of whether they were face or heel. The Rock was a regular victim of the move, selling it with an exaggerated backflip on more than one occasion. A variation of the same move (a three-quarter facelock bulldog) was previously used by Diamond Dallas Page, who called it the Diamond Cutter, and by Johnny Ace, who called it the Ace Crusher. A modified version is currently used by Randy Orton, who calls it the RKO.

• Triple H's Pedigree, a double underhook facebuster. The set-up of the move is slow enough for fans to realize what he is attempting before he actually does it. Because Triple H had considerable authority over the booking of matches, very few people have ever kicked out of the Pedigree. The move gets its name from his original gimmick, that of a "blue-blooded" upper-crust socialite Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

• The Rock's People's Elbow. This is a good example of a finisher that is portrayed as being much more damaging than it actually is. It is basically a simple elbow drop, preceded by a routine that involves The Rock pulling off his elbow pad, bouncing off the ropes and lifting one leg as if performing a leg drop. All this time, his opponent has to lie motionless on the mat, waiting to receive the elbow drop.

• The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver. Where the opponent is held belly-to-belly, up-side-down, with head between the thighs. The wrestler then drops to their knees or bottom, sending the opponent's heading supposedly crashing into the mat. Usually, The Undertaker then lets down the opponent on the mat, back-first, where he takes one hand, followed by the other, placing it on their chest and holding them down for the pin, while 'overshadowing' the opponent, staring off into the distance, extending his tongue.

• Bret Hart's Sharpshooter. It is a submission hold that damages his opponent's legs and back, and can legitimately hurt a wrestler if Bret applies more pressure. Sting in WCW used the same move, which he called the Scorpion Deathlock, although he placed the opponent's legs below the knee instead of the thigh. Although the name originally referred to Hart's "Hitman" gimmick, it was popular enough that it became the common name for the hold. Many wrestlers, such as Chris Benoit and Riki Choshu, have used the move since.

• Keiji Mutoh's Shining Wizard. This move is so popular that many Japanese professional wrestlers and independent American wrestlers use it. It is a running step-up knee strike done to a kneeling opponent. Mutoh often executed the move from various positions. The most common variant is the Shining Enzuigiri, which ends in a kick to the face instead of a knee strike.
