Good workers, lame finishers
By Scott Keith on 2 May 2013
As a follow up to the finishers post- what about good workers that have lame finishers? This doesn't apply to stiffs that are limited with their abilities. For example – Kurt Angle was an awesome worker and the best he has is an angle slam (looks like a transition move) and an ankle lock (effective in a legit fight but not exactly visually stunning). Or HBK with all of his ability uses a finisher where he kicks someone in the face?
Would be interesting to hear thought on this or if there and any other obvious examples.
Wait, what? The anklelock isn't completely BADASS? In what universe?
I always thought Ricky Steamboat needed a better finish than the bodypress. Jericho's codebreaker was a MAJOR improvement over the Walls of Jericho and IMO was one of the things that allowed him to become a legit main event guy late in his career. I still think Punk needs something better than the GTS, like something more quick and impactful. Maybe he should switch to the high kick full-time or something, I dunno.
