Old finishers are new again

By Scott Keith on 24 July 2019

Owens is using the Stunner. Bray Wyatt may be adopting the mandible claw (although with how much of a legit psycho he looked like giving it to Foley, I’m cool with this). Samoa Joe was basically doing a Rock Bottom for a bit. Showman does a choke slam next time. Dolph Ziggler’s super kick is probably the closest to Sweet Chin Music. What gets recycled next? And am I alone in being ok with this as opposed to everyone having a striking finish these days?

It's fine with me. There's only so many moves in the world and it's not like you need to protect the finishes of the Rock and Steve Austin any more. I do wish people would figure out how to do Randy Savage's goddamn elbow properly if they're going to "pay tribute" to it, though.
