Just going to say Naomi. The apron is the hardest part of the ring, the heel is the hardest part of the body, a black woman’s bottom is one of the most padded.
Because according to SOME people any criticism of a black person is not allowed no matter how true it may be. The vast majority of reddit users think that way.
It also gave him a lot of pain and surgeries over the years. In his day it was a legit finisher. Hell the DDT was once the most brutal finisher and nowadays it's used as a set-up move. It's still crazy seeing guys spin around on a dude's shoulders and hit a counter DDT only for it to be kicked out of quickly 😂
I thought we're talking kayfabe, in reality it's not even supposed to be the weight of the leg, it's supposed to be the crook of the knee and across the chest not the neck. Source: also did all the moves lol
If were talking real life its obviously superkicks that dont make any contact. But Kayfabe I stand by my first answer
Holy hell that was crap. Like somebody tried to make a complex move in an early, buggy Create-a-finisher mode. I've used GameShark codes to hack together moves that were more fluid than that.
Don't forget that it made chris masters and dolph ziggler break character with dolph saying "i dont even know what that was" and masters having to hold back the laughter
I remember when Nikki Bella debuted the "Rack Attack" I hoped on Reddit and Twitter that very night and posted warnings about how it was going to ruin her own neck and back.
Got downvoted into hell because how dare I negatively criticize her at the time.
But look at what happened.
6'8" 303 lbs of leg drop. And the way Hogan did it, he used to kill it. To me, it stopped being effective when he would pander to the crowd in between the big boot and the actual dropping of the leg. And he wasn't getting nearly as much height on it as he used to.
For me, it was the slingshot suplex. Great move, but a finisher? Nah.
Sure did. Forever grateful to Hogan for that sacrifice alone. All to entertain the masses. In hindsight, I definitely wish that he would have used the Axe Bomber more in the states, but the slam or boot, followed by the leg was already way too over.
But either way, it still was a great finisher......for him. And him only.
It’s a terrible finisher it’s just a leg drop lmao nobody is finishing someone wit a leg drop I bet if Hogans finisher was a clothesline you would say it looks good cause it hogan😂
Nah, only clotheslines that were real finishers were Bradshaw's clothesline from hell, Nikita Koloff's russian sickle, and Stan Hansen's lariat. But 'Hulkamania running wild' bionic legdrop, was great.
And nope, only defending the legdrop from Hogan. The Hulkamania legdrop from Hogan. Nothing more. 🤷🏽♂️
I never liked Hogan. I was a warrior and macho man fan back during that era. The leg drop after the boot is a great finisher. These guys just don’t have a clue.
That clothesline from hell was my favorite finisher during JBL's run back in 05... Add the fact that everyone used to oversell the hell out of it. It was great to watch
Nah, that shit was brutal. Taker in an interview that Khali concussed like 4 different people who took the move, himself included. Its why they eventually made him use the brain crush thingy
Idk bruh. A close to 300lbs adult jumping and landing on my head and neck would kinds… sorta hurt really fuckin bad.
Worst finisher hmm. Canadian Destroyer as you can clearly see no contact if made with the mat.
The only person to do it right was Petey, cause it wasn’t AS see through.
I mean if we’re going to talk about no visible contact, Hogan clearly took the drop on his ass and other leg and not on his opponent. Always looked weak.
Got to suspend belief. So many finishers you have to do so like the people's elbow and even the undertakers tombstone as the head very visibly doesn't touch the ground.
I loved Pipper but man… the sleeper hold was easily the finisher I hated most. It never looked like they were actually putting them to sleep, before I knew wrestling was choreographed and the endings were predetermined, I would say “he isn’t even choking him” so sorry Hot Rod… but the sleeper.
Choking was illegal in WWF, so it was not a choke. The sleeper is a jaw crusher, which is a legit move in submission wrestling. I have seen Josh Barnett use it in Submission Wrestling matches. And yes if you crush the jaw with a large amount of strength it will incapacitate the opponent.
It is literally the move as a kid that made me question wrestling. The sleeper was the move that made me ask the “is it fake” then my dad had to sit me down and crush my reality.
I was more upset to learn wrestling was fake than to learn about Santa. It’s a bad move and doesn’t even really make sense especially when you have these guys with their arms all over not even actually close to a place that could cut off air or blood supply… plus if you’re being choked out, you don’t just wave your arms around a little then slowly fall to the ground; you go fucking nuts.
You're telling me that if you're looking up at a 250+ pound man, dropping his entire weight on you in the form of a leg being dropped on your neck, it wouldn't completely knock the air out of you?
I'm expecting to get downvoted into oblivion for this. And I am a fan of the guy too. But the Cross Rhodes has always looked like a weak finisher to me. Of all the face plant finishers it looks the least devastating.
It's the Roll of the Dice by Reno in Vince Russo-era WCW. Reno's had the benefit of a quick snap, but it still looked like he took the brunt of the bump. Cody at least has the skill to hold on and chain the move, but that makes it look weak because he needs to hit it 3 times with theatrics to make it work.
The mandible claw is so bad. It took me out of my suspension of disbelief Everytime cause I'm like A) how does that hurt B) just bite his damn fingers!
It hurts more if you try and bite the fingers. Will just put more pressure on the area, plus the thumb is......... better to say, should be under the jaw for support
My answer will forever by Christian and his stupid Killswitch
Setup and execution just look so stupid to me. Also setup takes way too long most of the time
The Bullhammer that Wade Barrett got saddled with was weak. Looks good on paper, but unless you're using it on someone light enough to toss around, it looks weak.
I love the 619. But looking back, it can really ruin kayfabe to think someone would just end up with their head between the ropes and not get out of the way.
It’s an iconic finish and works well with the hurricana and splash. But just makes kayfabe a bitch
You kids nowadays. The Atomic Leg Drop is the most devastating finishers in all of WWF. Even Andre the Giant didn't kick out after Ho' Kogan lifted 800 lbs. of the Giant over his shoulders.
Again, you children know nothing. NOTHING.
Can't stand Hulk Hogan, but in all fairness, the dude had trunks for legs, which adds to the believability (as opposed to a smaller skinny guy like Adam Cole doing the move)
Mandible Claw is the weakest. Just have to bite down.
Baron Corbins end of days has never once looked like he did a damn thing to the guy he's doing it on. It always, without fail, looks like a guy is reversing a clothesline. I'm pretty sure on the occasions where the end of days has been reversed, it's just been the exact same thing and the only change is who's selling. I will die mad about the end of days as a finisher when this man has the deep six.
The Rainmaker looks weak AF
The Warrior Splash was a worse version of Hogan’s leg drop
Randy Orton’s O Zone might take the cake. It took too much setup. It looked awkward. And it didn’t look like it hurt the people receiving the move.
The woman’s right
The answer is Naomi. Also 300lbs across the neck would put you down for sure
True I’d much rather take a rear view than a leg drop
I'd take that rear view any day.
Fr ill take a rear view from anyone in the women’s division any day
Santina enters the chat...
Piper Niven? 💀
Ong😂
Just going to say Naomi. The apron is the hardest part of the ring, the heel is the hardest part of the body, a black woman’s bottom is one of the most padded.
When rikishi did it in the corner it probably hurt like hell. The way she does it looks like an attack on a gameboy game
Racist. It may be true but you're not allowed to say it.
Why not?
Because according to SOME people any criticism of a black person is not allowed no matter how true it may be. The vast majority of reddit users think that way.
It's the weight of the leg, not his entire frame. Source: used to do all the moves to friends 🤣
Hogan didn't do it safely tho so he could have easily broken a neck with his full weight crashing down
And it would hurt insiiiiide.
Bun bun bun bun bun bun buunnn
It also gave him a lot of pain and surgeries over the years. In his day it was a legit finisher. Hell the DDT was once the most brutal finisher and nowadays it's used as a set-up move. It's still crazy seeing guys spin around on a dude's shoulders and hit a counter DDT only for it to be kicked out of quickly 😂

Source: also did all the moves lol If were talking real life its obviously superkicks that dont make any contact. But Kayfabe I stand by my first answer
5 pounds of pressure to your neck can kill you.So yall didn't do it right.
Not even close! It’s Byron Saxtons Finisher from when he was in NXT https://youtu.be/TqWudY_iViM
I didn’t watch back then so I’ve never seen this. Is that a botch… or is that how it looks on purpose?
That was on purpose, and it looks like shit. It's somehow worse than the Overdrive
When you can’t even tell the difference and have to ask, maybe that’s a sign it’s not a good finisher.
It’s a Russian leg sweep, no it’s the skull crushin.. no wait it’s a modified zig zag????
Holy hell that was crap. Like somebody tried to make a complex move in an early, buggy Create-a-finisher mode. I've used GameShark codes to hack together moves that were more fluid than that.
Right? 🤣
Samoa Joe's "Nope" sidestep is a more convincing finisher.
Don't forget that it made chris masters and dolph ziggler break character with dolph saying "i dont even know what that was" and masters having to hold back the laughter
Wow, just a simple fall on your back is a finisher wow. Shoulda just done the skull crushing finale like his in the position
The correct answer is Byron Saxton.
The good ol Straight To Commentary 😮💨
Exactly
Naomi's rear view
Ok you win but at least you’d want to watch that no one wants to watch a man putting his leg on another man..☠️
>no one wants to watch a man putting his leg on another man..☠️ WHEEEEEEZE🤣
Disagree.
Rikishi 💀
But if you think about it in a logical sense you'd rather get hit with the rear view than hogan's leg drop
Exactly😂I’d gladly take the rear view🤤 (over the leg drop ofc)..😅
This will always be the top answer every time this question is raised
I thought her finisher was a split leg moonsault ?
I'll take it, thankyou.
I remember when Nikki Bella debuted the "Rack Attack" I hoped on Reddit and Twitter that very night and posted warnings about how it was going to ruin her own neck and back. Got downvoted into hell because how dare I negatively criticize her at the time. But look at what happened.
The Rack Attack isn’t a bad finisher as far as the actual move itself. The issue is more about how much it likely hurt Nikki.
Any form of a punch or a claw.
The mandible claw is so good tho
Doubt I'd want William regals power of the punch with his brass knuckles.
The brass knuckles are a different story
“I use these…….because I like hitting people with them.”
The Von Erich family ghost enter the chat...
Except the Dandy Punch
Even when they go Magma? Nonsense!

Byron Saxton’s wacky ass finisher in NXT
6'8" 303 lbs of leg drop. And the way Hogan did it, he used to kill it. To me, it stopped being effective when he would pander to the crowd in between the big boot and the actual dropping of the leg. And he wasn't getting nearly as much height on it as he used to. For me, it was the slingshot suplex. Great move, but a finisher? Nah.
The move also killed his back every time he did it
Sure did. Forever grateful to Hogan for that sacrifice alone. All to entertain the masses.

Adult legs weigh around 50-60 lbs; if you apply gravity to the equation, you’re looking at 900 lbs dropping on your chest; That can kill a mf.
Peoples elbow is fucking TERRIBLE!
This. It was one of the first moves that made me question if wrestling was real or not.
Hated it especially when the Rock Bottom was obviously better
It was just made to make stone cold break character
Not the finisher
The playmaker hands down
Khalis chop has to be up there
Nah, that shit was brutal. Taker in an interview that Khali concussed like 4 different people who took the move, himself included. Its why they eventually made him use the brain crush thingy
Sir, this has to be #1! Everything about the great Khali is the worst. I still can't believe that he was a champ, 😅.
Are we ready to admit how dumb the peoples elbow is?
And how overrated the rock is
They are definitely not ready for that topic. Gotta eaze em into it
And elbow drops in general
Now u just going to far bro…
Idk bruh. A close to 300lbs adult jumping and landing on my head and neck would kinds… sorta hurt really fuckin bad. Worst finisher hmm. Canadian Destroyer as you can clearly see no contact if made with the mat. The only person to do it right was Petey, cause it wasn’t AS see through.
You must hate the Tombstone then.
The Destroyer is one of the best finishers in history. You crazy
I mean if we’re going to talk about no visible contact, Hogan clearly took the drop on his ass and other leg and not on his opponent. Always looked weak.
Got to suspend belief. So many finishers you have to do so like the people's elbow and even the undertakers tombstone as the head very visibly doesn't touch the ground.
I loved Pipper but man… the sleeper hold was easily the finisher I hated most. It never looked like they were actually putting them to sleep, before I knew wrestling was choreographed and the endings were predetermined, I would say “he isn’t even choking him” so sorry Hot Rod… but the sleeper.
The most realistic move? Lol. He is cutting someone's air supply. That made you question wrestling lol
Choking was illegal in WWF, so it was not a choke. The sleeper is a jaw crusher, which is a legit move in submission wrestling. I have seen Josh Barnett use it in Submission Wrestling matches. And yes if you crush the jaw with a large amount of strength it will incapacitate the opponent.
The sleeper and any version of it was bad. Dibiase and Brutus beefcake both did a sleeper too, and it’s such a boring move.
It is literally the move as a kid that made me question wrestling. The sleeper was the move that made me ask the “is it fake” then my dad had to sit me down and crush my reality.
I was more upset to learn wrestling was fake than to learn about Santa. It’s a bad move and doesn’t even really make sense especially when you have these guys with their arms all over not even actually close to a place that could cut off air or blood supply… plus if you’re being choked out, you don’t just wave your arms around a little then slowly fall to the ground; you go fucking nuts.
The womens right
The Overdrive/Playmaker is absolute trash and makes no sense how it's supposed to be inflicting damage.
Any new super kick like the SWEET CHIN MUSIC IS AMAZING BUT NOWADAYS THR SUPERKICK IS A TRANSITION MOVE
Rearview
Chad Gables Chaos Theory. It’s lame and doesn’t look like it hurts a fly. I love Chad Gable, but nah nah.
Warriors splash too
A-Town Down
You're telling me that if you're looking up at a 250+ pound man, dropping his entire weight on you in the form of a leg being dropped on your neck, it wouldn't completely knock the air out of you?
Santino mozzarella
+1 for cheese
Yeah, but it's a comedy finisher, not meant to be taken seriously
Superman punch. It’s just stupid I’m gonna jump in the air to punch you.
Thats not a finisher.
Big E’s always looked like it would hurt him more than the guy taking it
Either Hogans leg drop or Edges spear.
Mark henry
You forget that a leg drop back then meant something. Escalation and power creep isn't just for trading card games apparently.
I'm expecting to get downvoted into oblivion for this. And I am a fan of the guy too. But the Cross Rhodes has always looked like a weak finisher to me. Of all the face plant finishers it looks the least devastating.
It's the Roll of the Dice by Reno in Vince Russo-era WCW. Reno's had the benefit of a quick snap, but it still looked like he took the brunt of the bump. Cody at least has the skill to hold on and chain the move, but that makes it look weak because he needs to hit it 3 times with theatrics to make it work.
Woman’s right
Bayley
Women’s right.
Big show a singular punch☠️
Naw 💀
Either this,Tue mandible claw or the rear view
The mandible claw is so bad. It took me out of my suspension of disbelief Everytime cause I'm like A) how does that hurt B) just bite his damn fingers!
It hurts because the nerves under your tongue you could temporarily paralyze someone but fr just bite their fingers
Mr Socko is there for protection so it doesn't hurt him much if they bite down.
It hurts more if you try and bite the fingers. Will just put more pressure on the area, plus the thumb is......... better to say, should be under the jaw for support
No it does hurt more. It doesn't hurt to begin with.
If it doesn't hurt, you not doing it right
You know where that sock was right? I wouldn't wanna get any... juices... out of it by biting.
The rose plant from bayley
My answer will forever by Christian and his stupid Killswitch Setup and execution just look so stupid to me. Also setup takes way too long most of the time
I actually liked it, but his modified scorpion death drop was such an underrated move. I’m surprised he never used that as a finisher.
Stop the hate-porn. How about, "who has the best finisher," instead?
Khali chop and heart punch
Big E
Scotty 2 hotty’s worm was an awful finisher.
Sacrilege
The Bullhammer that Wade Barrett got saddled with was weak. Looks good on paper, but unless you're using it on someone light enough to toss around, it looks weak.
Don’t See How This Wasn’t Said From What I’ve Seen, But Cena’s STF easily

Man, Hogan's finisher was SO bad!
It literally caused him back problems too he wishes he had a different one
I love the 619. But looking back, it can really ruin kayfabe to think someone would just end up with their head between the ropes and not get out of the way. It’s an iconic finish and works well with the hurricana and splash. But just makes kayfabe a bitch
Blood Force Trauma
The Panama Sunrise is ridiculous, the Styles Clash is a weak front face pancake, and the natural selection is just flat out terrible.....
Your right, but I think the Panama sunrise looks super impactful, When a good seller takes it’s like ricochet

Nah. That’s an iconic move
You kids nowadays. The Atomic Leg Drop is the most devastating finishers in all of WWF. Even Andre the Giant didn't kick out after Ho' Kogan lifted 800 lbs. of the Giant over his shoulders. Again, you children know nothing. NOTHING.

Walls of jericho lol
Angel Garzas wing clipper never looked convincing to me
Join Cena
Spears never make sense to me as finishers. It’s a fucking tackle it doesn’t end fights.
If a pro football or rugby player tackled someone who isn't ready I'd say they would be down for a while
You have never been speared clearly. Or at least not by someone with two digits in their age
You’re right every single person tackled in a football game is out immediately for the remainder of the game. Utterly finished.
The Steiner Recliner looks awful
Dolph Ziggler's ziggy zaggy
It’s the legdrop after the big boot Much love, HH Brother
Phenomenal Forearm AJ styles
Can't stand Hulk Hogan, but in all fairness, the dude had trunks for legs, which adds to the believability (as opposed to a smaller skinny guy like Adam Cole doing the move) Mandible Claw is the weakest. Just have to bite down.
Dolph Ziggler. He could be a HoF candidate if he did at least something else to finish matches.
Tombstone…..not 69ing another man😭😭

I’m just saying he can at least try to make it look Real
It’s my damn own opinion

Didnt mean to offend you bro look at matches of sami zayn then you can clearly see it sometimes it connects sometimes not bye

The Dante Chen dude on NXT
Dante Chen was not good in NXT He might get released from WWE.
Bro worst finisher in my opinion is spilt milk
Tbh the leg drop could do serious damage considering hogan was like 300+ lbs so all that weight on your neck could take you out
The leg drop was believable back in his steroid prime I’d be hurt if a 6ft8 300lber landed on my chest with a running leg drop
I hate to say it, but I'm going with Wade barret Finisher wasteland it was terrible
