Non-finisher Finishes
By Scott Keith on 7 December 2020
Would love to hear your favorite finishes to a match that didn't end with one wrestler using their usual finisher on the other person?
For me, the Eddie loosening his boot for a roll-up at Mania 20 remains just pure gold.
Definitely a classic. Bret was always really great at coming up with stuff like that, like the sleeper reversal against Piper and then Austin, or his victory roll on Bigelow.
What about the counterpoint: Guys trying to get new finishes over and failing miserably. I’ll nominate HHH and his sleeper and Okada’s cobra clutch to start.
