What the hell is up with all these fools using their opponents finishing moves? I mean c'mon...... I remember when a finishing move meant something and was like the totally coolest thing ever when they did it....

I mean no one would ever kick out of the finishing move unless it was a big occasion such as WrestleMania but now it so annoying when you see that everyone is doing everyone elses finisher...... Especially Jericho!

I mean its like every week i see him hitting a Rock Bottom! I mean certain occasions such as........

- The Build Up to Rock vs HHH in the Iron Man at Judgement Day when Rocky was Rock Bottomed through a table and then Rock Pedigreed Hunter through the announce table and that was like ultra mega cool.........

- Wrestlemania X-7 the build up was intense.... You had Rock give Austin the Stunner and then place a beer next to his head... Which was like totally the coolest thing to do to his "Double Stunning, Beer Swilling Candy Ass". Then come the Main Event and then Rock (Chasing Mr. McMahon) ran straight into Stone Cold who then gave The People's Champion the Rock Bottom...... Rock also gave Austin another Stunner by the way.........

But then you have like EVERYONE doing everyone elses finisher..... I have seen the following do the following

The Rock - Stunner, Pedigree, Crippler Crossface, (I'm sure i saw him do this one) Wall of Jericho......

Austin - Rock Bottom, Sharpshooter, Walls of Jericho.....

Jericho - Rock Bottom about 4000 times, (I think) Pedigree and the People's Elbow

Rhyno - Walls of Jericho

I wanna see Tajiri do a Jacknife PowerBomb or The Rock do the Shooting Star Press........

I mean i really sometimes like the case of Judgement Day and Wrestlemania it was cool when it happened but i mean when it happens all the @#%$ time it degrades the power of the move when it happens all the times......

Also are finishers not as strong as they used to be? Everyone is also kicking out of everyone's finisher......

And also to note - Earl Hebner you are a fool and i hate you for making Kurt Angle look superhuman and also to make The Rock look inferior and weak. Remember back in 2001 i think at No Way Out... The Rock vs Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship and The Rock hit the Rock Bottom and Earl only counted 2 when he should have counted 3!! The look on Rocky's face said it all........ Then he had to Rock Bottom Kurt again and then he gave a dirty look to Hebner and Rock was champion once again.........

This is my first post here and it won't be my last!!!

The weakest finishers seem to be Angle's, Jericho's and Booker T's. Everyone seems to kick out of Angle Slams, Lionsaults, Breakdowns and Scissor Kicks and no one taps to the Ankle lock or the Walls. Even when they copy finishers their opponent taps out, the same goes for Scott Hall copying the stunner. Of the top heels only the Undertaker has a well used real finisher in the Last Ride but he seems to use the Chokeslam which people kick out of.

The main reason for wrestlers (especially heels) copying finishers is their own moves have been kicked out of so many times.
