Yes, it also was one of the few moves that actually utilized the 6 sided rings, which made Monty Brown stand out as the one wrestler who actually adjusted his game to the ring while 90 % of the others were just doing the same stuff they'd do in a conventional ring.
I met Sean O’Haire in 2002 at OVW matches. He was a great guy, and I did see a snippet of his athleticism when he leaped over a fence that was about waist high without using his hands. He did get angry with one fan, though, and justifiably so.
People don’t talk enough about how WWE fumbled the bag with Ultimo Dragon and Sean O’Haire. Maybe things could’ve even ended a little bit better for the latter. RIP Sean O’Haire
Sadly O'Haire was a nutjob, couldn't be trusted outside of the ring. He also couldn't cut a promo that wasn't rehearsed a million times and it had to be pretaped. Ultimo was old and broken down when he got to WWE. He got to do what he inteded though so good on both sides. 1) MSG 2) WrestleMania appearance 3)Cruiserweight Gold
@@shawnfields2369piper over hyped. He didn't get the same pops like Hogan n nwo saying got in their older days. Decent on mic course but that's all. By the time he was with sean it was meh
I agree that Rhinos “gore” was the most devastating, But in my opinion Goldbergs was better looking, he did it with such flare the way he would instantly bounce back up and how his traps muscle was pretty much built for that move.. lol, but since that was only his signature move and not a finisher it wasn’t as powerful as rhinos gore since that was his finisher
Honerable Mention: When he could actually do it smoothly, Ezekiel Jackson's "Book of Ezekiel" was pretty nifty looking because a good sell had the victim curl around his arm a little and he'd throw them down without moving himself like most Uranage slams. Looked brutal when it worked, sluggish and clunky when it didn't.
@@claymathewselevator8121 "This here is what you call Domination, it's a combination of skill and concentration, to rise to the occasion do something amazing anything that I do I dominate it."
One I don't see get mentioned often enough is Matt Morgan's Hellevator (Vertical Suplex drop into an Uranage Slam), also used by NJPW's Hirooki Goto, known as the Shouten Kai.
Honorable mention: Paul Burchill’s Walking the Plank/C4. Didn’t make much sense logically since the receiving wrestler had to do a flip along with him, but it sure looked cool. Also Cedric Alexander’s Lumbar Check.
Which explains the mastery of the Move by Football Players Monty Brown and Keith Lee. Adam Cole was practically erased in record time by Keith Lee one night in NXT!😂😉🎤🏈🤼♂️B.W.
@@garymaidman625 Hang on, the Osaka Street Cutter (which was also there from at least _Here Comes The Pain_ times and I think earlier) is a completely different move - you reverse vertical suplex the opponent into a stunner as they come down over your shoulder. The Asai DDT is practically the opposite: you flip _yourself_ back over the opponent's shoulder, and take them with you as you come down into a reverse DDT. Kalisto's Salida del Sol is the same move.
Saying the Train Wreck is a much better finish than the Baldo Bomb is like saying the Rock’s shoulder breaker was the superior move to the Rock Bottom.
Justin Gabriel had one of the best 450 splashes ever. He would always sell it like it really did damage to himself. That's why when the nexus would beat someone up, his 450 was done last after wade barrets wasteland.
One move I never see people talk about was Sylvain Grenier's 3 Seconds of Fame. It was simple, a vertical suplex dropped into a DDT. I really liked it.
Matt Bloom, aka Albert aka A-Train, pretty much failed miserably in WWE as a wrestler, especially during his second sting in WWE as Tensai. However, he ultimately found his way to huge success in another field of work in WWE. As we all know, Bloom has been head trainer at Performance Center since May 2015, when he replaced Bill DeMott, where he helped train numerous past and present WWE Superstars. I read somewhere recently that that he will soon be officially promoted to position of Executive Vice President in charge of training, although he has been effectively doing this since 2015.
@@NostalgiaDemonI thought that's what it was too. And also; Darren Young's "Gut Check"; while great; is just the GTS; but if instead of getting hit in the face with someone's knee; you got hit in the stomach with his knees instead. But both still cool finishers.
Simon Dean was a fun character back in the day. I didn't realise he had such sick finishers, I totally forgot about them. The spirit squad's finisher I do remember, definitely looks much sore to take now than back then.
I'm glad that you mentioned Simon Dean. Mike Bucci is one of my all time favourite wrestlers, and I feel like most people don't really understand how important he was to western wrestling. Him and Kid Kash were pioneers of their style in the west, and I have 0 doubts that if it weren't for them, guys like Jeff Hardy, CM Punk or ROH/ CZW would've never been a thing (at least as he know them today).
I never knew of the wrestler before he did Simon Dean, but he did a great job with that gimmick. Made feuds with The Boogeyman even more memorable. His gimmick had legs. Too bad he was stuck in mid card and didn't even get a serious mid-card run with a IC or US title or something like that.
@@coolioso808 he didn't want to be a champion. He personally asked Vince and his team to use him as a stepping stone for new talent. He then became a trainer, but he was fired eventually because of the whole concussion lawsuit thing
@@hieroglyph1947 ok, interesting, I didn't know that. That's admirable about him. I think he did a good job then elevating talents. He was a fun heel to see a babyface defeat.
Darren Young was one of the first people I was lucky enough to interview when I was in the video game press. Nice guy, plenty affable, and I can attest he was as professional as anyone I've had the pleasure of (professionally) speaking to. And, his mom took great pictures of us. Weird factoid, but yeah. I'm happy to see he's doing so well in NJPW now!
Still sad they couldn't figure out what to do with Sean O'Haire. He really could have been a star. Such a killer look and in-ring moves...sad end to him that I don't think he deserved.
An underrated finisher that nobody talks about in my opinion was pretty damn good.Ted DiBiase jr's dream street. I loved the name and the execution of the finisher.
Simon Dean/Nova/Supernova is highly underrated for his innovation with wrestling moves. Such a shame he isn't in his prime now to go against guys like Brian Danielson, Johnny Gargano, etc
6:55 love how the cultaholic boys used kota ibushi as an example of why people don’t use the move, as someone who is very well known for not giving a rat’s ass about his neck
Doane I take it is Kenny Dykstra? Yeah, he was really good. I think he was the most talented out of them next to Dolph, and they seemed to want him to have the kind of career Dolph went on to have for awhile. They kept pulling the plug on every push they gave him though. I was especially disappointed when they did it with the feud with Cena. I'm not saying he needed to win, but just having good showings against John would have raised his stock significantly. Instead, as I remember it, he got fucking buried. FOR MONTHS!
Speaking of Luther Reigns, I was a big fan of Mark Jindrak's finisher, the Mark of Perfection. Lift for a back suplex turned into a uranage. When he could do it in one fluid motion, it looked amazing.
@@gabepollock1641 he used it in a few squash matches early on when his gimmick was the stuttering thing. How on earth they thought that was gonna get over..
11:00 the spirit squad was actually good. Each member had their own uniqueness, moves, and dances. Johnny's spin kick, trouble in paradise like finisher/signature is underrated. He kind of got overlooked because of Kenny. There was potential there, wonder what happened with him.
Big ups for the Tyler Reks segment. I won't explain specifically what I liked about it, but just know that I noticed how you wrote it out, and you did a great job.
If the widowmaker was wasted on O‘Haire, why didn’t anyone else picked that move up ever since? Because it isn’t as impressive performed by anyone. He had the size, power and agility to make the move look like a million bucks.
I love the way you handled the uncertainty of f the proper pronouns for Tyler Reks after her transition. As opposed to simply guessing and hoping for the best referring to her as simply her characters name was noticed and appreciated
I always wanted someone like a Bobby Lashley or a Austin Theory to use Tyler Rex's Burning Hammer now in today's world of pro wrestling. Especially Theory I think that move would be awesome for him to finishing his matches.
Fun fact: You can actually get Luther Reigns' finisher in 2k23, it's called "Rolling the Dice". Edit: I have been informed that the move I mentioned is the version used by Bo Dallas. The one used by Luther Reigns is called the Day of Reckoning 2.
It’s the Bo Dallas version. Bo Dallas was using it for a hot minute before the Miztourage stuff, so it was his finisher in 2k17 or 18. The actual Luther Reigns version is in Day of Reckoning 2 though, since Luther was cut from the game.
Gut Check vs Lumbar Check? For me the Lumbar Check looks sooo amazing plus Cedric might belong on this list even though he is a hell of a talent and could do so much more
Polite suggestion, instead of showing clip shots of the moves and wrestlers, show the video of them. It'll help bring more depth and make the video breathe more fluidly and cleanly and it'll help keep people's attention as well because just saying what the moves and wrestlers do is totally different from seeing what they do, It was honestly hard for me to keep watching this because I kept wanting to click out of the video and go look up another video so I could see the moves.
Its disrespectful to have o'haire and Ultimo Dragon on here...especially Ultimo because its his innovation, he created the move...O'Haire was a victim to creative...
I always liked Paul Burchill's Curb Stomp variation where he'd drag someone by the hair then put his boot to the back of their head and stomp down. Looked as brutal as Simon's.
Now do bad finishing move currently used….here’s my list - Austin Theory’s A Town Down - LA Knight’s BFT - Bayley’s Rose Plant/Bayley to Belly - Liv Morgan’s Oblivion - Omos’s JKCB - Big E’s Big Ending - Charlotte’s Natural Selection - Naomi’s Rearview - Matt Riddle’s Bro Dereck - The Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale
Jeff Hardy: I was watching this video from Cultaholic Wrestling and there was this dude Sean he used my swanton bomb finishing maneuver man I’m going back to North Carolina and tell my Stoner friends all about you man
The only thing that could have made High Spirits better is if they started the move with the guy at the head saying "Ready?" And everyone else responding with "Okay!"
9:23 - Ehh, not quite. A-Train did indeed bust out the impressive and underrated Train Wreck from time to time, but as I recall he still used the old sit-out chokebomb as his main finisher, or at the very least a major signature move, except to keep with the new train theme he changed its name from the Baldo Bomb to *the Derailer.*
I used to LOVE Mark Mero. He was with Sable and I loved the boxing theme he had. Even fought Butter bean or was supposed to if I'm not mistaken. Hate what happened to that dude but he seems to be ok.
Monty Brown innovated the Pounce and a combination if Vince's stupid Booking and naming at the time prevented his rise and Brown having to leave to take care of his deceased siblings kids ended his career prematurely
You guys have to find a way to get videos of the finishers on you videos w/o getting copyrighted. There's only so much we can do with photos unless we want to search up videos of the finishers ourselves. Your descriptions are pretty good, but it starts to gets stale without videos of the particular move your talking about.
The Pounce was even better in TNA in the 6-sided ring. The angle he was able to do it from made the move look even more devastating.
Definitely was and he used way more force
The Pounce in TNA was awesome and you are so right about the 6 sided ring it looked so good in that ring
Yes, it also was one of the few moves that actually utilized the 6 sided rings, which made Monty Brown stand out as the one wrestler who actually adjusted his game to the ring while 90 % of the others were just doing the same stuff they'd do in a conventional ring.

I met Sean O’Haire in 2002 at OVW matches. He was a great guy, and I did see a snippet of his athleticism when he leaped over a fence that was about waist high without using his hands. He did get angry with one fan, though, and justifiably so.

This video should have been so good, but not a single video of the moves left me wanting
Why tf would WWE tell Sean O'Haire to tone his style down? Seems like they were a big reason for him not being over as well.
Jindrak & O'Hair were an awesome team.
Pirate Burchill when he used the Flip Rock bottom. Forgot what he called it but it was on SD vs RAW 2007
One I always liked was Kid Kash brain buster, I think if I remember was called dead level? But looked brutal when I first saw it.
I'm a fan of the hurricane finisher move that he called the Chockslam
The he called "Eye Of The Hurricane"? Which kind of looked like a reverse Twist of Fate?
9:23 - Ehh, not quite. A-Train did indeed bust out the impressive and underrated Train Wreck from time to time, but as I recall he still used the old sit-out chokebomb as his main finisher, or at the very least a major signature move, except to keep with the new train theme he changed its name from the Baldo Bomb to *the Derailer.*
I was such a big fan of Monty Brown in TNA. I was stoked when he went to WWE and became disappointed he never became WWE Champion.
next, failed finishers used by great wrestlers. Samoan spike by Umaga, for example
Got to the Tyler Reks part and was pleasantly surprised she was only referred to by gimmick name and not by pronouns. Respect.
I’ve been a wrestling fan for 30 years… I just learned that Simon Dean and Nova are the same person. Mind blown.
So, he's NOT Dean Ambrose then, right?
I was today years old when I found out Simon was NOVA. 🤯
Lol same 😂
I used to LOVE Mark Mero. He was with Sable and I loved the boxing theme he had. Even fought Butter bean or was supposed to if I'm not mistaken. Hate what happened to that dude but he seems to be ok.
These lists are nearly worthless without video clips. I legit had to open another tab to look at the moves as I watched the list.
Paul Burchill's C4 came to mind
He was underrated hated the jack Sparrow gimmick tho
Oh come on Adam, you have a perfect finisher in your move set... the Pacitti-T...
It's just a DDT with a flourish. GET IT?
The Canadian destroyer is the greatest finisher I ever seen in TNA that move was waisted
I get why they’re not here but a clip of the finisher would definitely make this video much much better
I actually think Darren young deserved a little more than what he got . One run with intercontinental title might have worked.
Monty Brown innovated the Pounce and a combination if Vince's stupid Booking and naming at the time prevented his rise and Brown having to leave to take care of his deceased siblings kids ended his career prematurely
Why before the video even started I knew Sean o Haire and the widowmaker would be on here
The burning hammer being used by Tyler god damn Rex has always confused and angered me
ikr.
Should be used by kobashi and only kobashi
Rex confused and angered you then….. or she does now?
@@oddishhonor he
@@tommyjohnson1066 Nah She, Reks is now known as Gabbi and is trans
You guys have to find a way to get videos of the finishers on you videos w/o getting copyrighted. There's only so much we can do with photos unless we want to search up videos of the finishers ourselves. Your descriptions are pretty good, but it starts to gets stale without videos of the particular move your talking about.
