Worst Name for Finishing Manuever

One thing that annoys me about the WWF is how McMahon has to name every
finishing manuever around the wrestler's gimmick that performs it.
A few examples:
Double Underhook Power Bomb=Pearl River Plunge

Belly to Belly Suplex= The Final Exam (remember, ugh)

Reverse DDT= The "Slop Drop" (Yukk, smell the vomit!)

Well, this one was invented by Mitsuharu Misawa. Damned if the Japanese
didn't name it after his gimmick:

Tiger Driver

There's nothing wrong with name moves around the inventor's gimmick or
name. Ace Crusher, Doctor Bomb, German Suplex, Tiger Suplex,
Huracanrana, Gory Especial, Frankensteiner, etc. It's actually kind of
cool.

For the life of me, I haven't the foggiest idea where the name double
underhook powerbomb came from. Anyone know this?

The pearl river plunge is named after a town and a river south of Jackson
mississippi called pearl river mississippi

Because you start off hooking the guys arms like a double underhook (I
think that's the name of the "move" where you hook their arms like that),
and then you Powerbomb them...

I got that part going in, Chris. It is purly a descriptive name given to
the Tiger Driver.

My question was (and perhaps not clearly defined) who undertook the
effort to create a "new" descriptive name for the move when one already
existed. One that was shorter, catchier, and gave credit to the
inventor. That's the part I don't have the foggiest notion about.

Let me say this again... This is NOT a scorpion death lock... It is a
reverse flying chickenwing... A scorpion Death lock is a what Sting
uses, and is also referred to as the Sharpshooter when Bret hart does
it.

So there... I remained on topic...

Well, I don't know what Mankind's finisher would be called, but the
name "Mandible Claw" just doesn't make sense...

To my knowledge, a mandible is a pincer in front of an insect's
mouth... So McMahon is either comparing Mankind's fingers to
mandibles, or is saying that Mankind is grabbing onto an opponent's
mandibles, which isn't very flattering for the opponent...

Mandible is the proper term for one's lower jaw.

In anatomical terminology it is correct. Mandible means "jaw". And
it is the scientific name for the human lower jaw. Those "pincers" you
see on insect heads serve the same function, biting and chewing, hence
they are called "mandibles" as well. Tho' the "Jawclaw" could be kinda
catchy albeit somewhat childish.

1. The Cock of the Walk- Red Rooster ( i forget what it actually was)

3 The Whoppe Cusion- Doink (actually the whole clown thing was stupid

P.S. Why do the feds always make the name of your move go along
with your gimmick?

I would prefer if they would refer to it as "The Finger".

No, the cock of the walk was the Scorpion Death Lock. The Reverse
Chickenwing was the Reverse Chickenwing. You see, The Rooster used both.

I think "Wet Willy of Doom" is a much catchier name. Though technically,
I guess it'd be more of a reverse wet willy.

Calling this a 747 does not inspire happy thoughts of air travel.

Considering how bad this guy sucked, the name of the hold did fit the
character well. Does that mean the name sucks? I don't know. I
confused myself.


>>how about goldusts curtian closer

Stinks


>> tl hopper's toliet flush

Stinks (no pun intended)
Here are some more
Punch in the Face-Tutti Fruity(BeBadd)--I can't believe Mero
ressurected this finisher. It is patently wrong for a face to have a
finisher that is also an illegal move.
Sleeper-Goodnite Irene(Adrian Adonnis)
The Kiwi-Cross(Tony Garea)-There is nothing intimidating about a Kiwi
(the fruit or the bird).
Leg drop off the top rope-The Alabama Jam(Bobby Eaton)
Clothesline-The Steiner line(Guess)-This ceased to be a truly
dangerous move when Larry Hennig retired.
DDT-D.D.S.(Issac Yankem)-Dumb name for a dumb character
Modified suplex with head landing first-Ghostbuster(Koko B.Ware)-What
the f*** does that mean? Talk about irrelevant.

>>1.) Superkick. What the hell kind of a name for a finisher is that?<<

Superkick sounds cool!... the only thing is that it's not the Superkick...
It's "Sweet Chin Music." Now THAT is dumb.

The band's tunning up for some "Sweet Chin Music"

That bar-none is the worst ever in pro wrestling.

Thanks, John

I agree with you, John, I HATE HATE HATE "sweet chin music." The nickname for the
"superkick" (why does a finisher need a nickname, anyway?) is really annoying. And I
hate how all the announcers, esp. Todd P., allways "suh- swweeeeeeeettt." I hate that!
Personally, I think Shawn needs a new finisher. I hate the Superkick, and how he
telegraphs it so much. Like only an idiot would not know it was coming after the enire
crowd "loads the boot" with him!

I don't care if guys want names for their finishers. But I wish the finisher
would be half decent. Look at Salvatore Sincere...his is the 'Sincerely
Yours' I believe (UGH!). The name sucks, but the move is good. For them
to have Michaels use that kick as a finisher when Savio Vega does 'em ten
times better and never pins with them is stupid in the extreme.

My worst finisher name would be:
"WHAT A MANOEUVER!!!!!" (tm) Vince McMahon...

The Wall Street Crash is the worst name, in my opinion.

By far the worst name for a finisher was The Red Rooster Terry Taylor's
sharpshooter/scorpion deathlock leghold. It was called The Cock Of The
Walk.

I have to throw my two cents in here:

I think the worst name for a finisher has to be the 'Mandible Claw'
my choices for some alternatives:

The 'Finger Lickin Good'
The Epiglottis Enema
The Cactus Clutch (hey had to put a reference to Cj in here somewhere)
The Tongue Depressor
The Reverse Heimlich

any others out there?

The 'Finger Licking Good' gets my vote.

By default the other name Rotunda used for it, The Write-Off, must
tie with the Crash.

How about the DDT ?
I realise what they're getting at, but what the hell does the poison DDT have
to do with wrestling ?

This is a wrestling newsgroup, not an e-wrestling newsgroup. Get that shit
