Was gonna post a comment myself but you beat me to it. Man is a machine when it comes to the wrestling content and should actually take a full week to himself. Even when he was on vacation about a month or so ago, he was still recording reactions for us. 😂
@@pleaseshutup7053 Yeah but he still did some vids while he was in Portugal, but also he still had to record quadruple times the videos before he left for Portugal
16:02 Idk, I think Chad Gable's ankle lock is pretty fire, when he put it on Gunther in their third match, the selling on both ends was the closest I came to thinking Gunther was losing his title
I was gonna be mad if Kane’s Chokeslam and Tombstone wasn’t on here. Love his tombstone but he does have the best Chokeslam so that wins. There were some close calls with many others too. Love how great they make all these finishers over the years.
I have a few counter arguments for the Mandible Claw. The first one is the fact that you're supposed to be putting so much pressure on the jaw that you can't close it, thus can't bite down. I'm also sure that biting is illegal in most normal matches anyways.
Fun fact for you Santi, Undertaker beat triple H 3 times at wrestlemania, with all 3 different finishers. WM17 with the last ride, wm27 with the hell's gate, and wm28 with the tombstone piledriver.
Drew McIntyre's Claymore over the Future Shock. Bobby Lashley's Hurt Lock over the Spear. Big Show's WMD over the chokeslam. Hulk Hogan's leg drop over the Fingerpoke of Doom. 😂😂
i know i’m leaving a lot of comments but if the natural selection was done with the opponent standing up i think it would be better. it’s like a reverse blockbuster and i think could look crazy good
RKO Attitude Adjustment GTS Curb Stomp Tombstone Piledriver LeBell Lock Skull Crushing Finale Guillotine Pop-Up Powerbomb Figure 8/Natural Selection Powerbomb/Final Symphany Both Pop Up Powerbomb Both Code Breaker/Lion Tamer (Walls of Jericho is different because it's a Boston Crab) Both Mandible Claw for The Fiend Chokeslam Dis-Arm-Her
The Ankle Lock IS Kurt Angle. Especially when he does the full-body wraparound to really cinch it in. On Chaddy Daddy has ever come close to making it look as legit, and even he can’t do it as much justice since as you say, he isn’t as intense or vicious with the facial expressions. Any other option for Angle would be wrong
@@JqlGirl meh. I honestly prefer Submission finishers anyway. If they close out a match than you can compare the two. Both are finishers to end the match
Randy - RKO. John Cena - AA. CM Punk - GTS. Seth Freakin' Rollins - Stomp. Undertaker - Tombstone. Daniel Bryan - Running Knee. The Miz - Skull Crushing Finally. Charlotte Flair - Figure 8 Leg Lock. Gunther - is tough... I think all but the splash is a contender, I really personally liked the Final Symphony, but I think it has to be his Power Bomb. The Rock - Rock Bottom looks great, no idea what Santi is on about, it is also the easy winner of this one. Roman Reigns - I never disliked Roman, I never understood the anger about him, people now cheer LA Knight for the same reason that they hated Roman Reigns. But I agree his Guillotine is better. Even though I like the setup for his spear, we have just seen better spears than his. Kevin Owens - Popup Power Bomb, not even close, his stunner looks dumb and I fear it will break his body the same way it did Austin's. AJ Styles - Phenomenal Forearm. Styles Clash is lame. Chris Jericho - Walls of Jericho with the knee on the back in particular, but just Walls of Jericho. Codebreaker is great, Santi you are high. Kurt Angle - Ankle Lock. Ain't no fucking way you remember him for his Angle Slam. Bray Wyatt - Damn... Hating on the mandible claw... You ever wondered why they wore a glove (or sock) for this move? It's so you can't just bite. It looks disgusting and vicious and I actually preferred Bray Wyatt's version of it, even if I think Sister Abigail is amazing too, I dunno, for me it depends on his Gimmick, I think his Sister Abigail was less powerful than mandible claw once he had the Fiend persona, where as his Eater of Worlds didn't have the mandible claw, but it wouldn't really work with that older persona anyway. Overall, I liked Eater of Worlds more, so Sister Abigail. Kane - Chokeslam. Becky Lynch - Disarm-Her, I hate the name, absolutely fucking hate it, but it's a very, very good move.
About the Mandible claw and bitiing down on them. You can't bite down. The idea is that you're pushing down on the pressure point in the bottom of your mouth which prevents them from being able to bite. Two ways you can test this is either having someone do it for you, or, if you have a dog that like to bite, you can try it on them as it has the sane result.
Jericho's Liontamer is literally just a Boston Crab, it's stupid that people call it Walls of Jericho. Walls of Jericho looked legit painful because he would put his knee in their back while standing up, doing a sit down Boston Crab is a completely different move that doesn't look like a finisher.
The discrepancy between the Rock Bottom as "fine" and Rock lacking a truly great finisher for his character (in your opinion) and the Manhandle Slam as "great" and it defining her character just says to me these moves have as much as the people taking the moves as the person delivering them. Same can be said for the Styles Clash to an extent. But even historically, great finishers like the Stunner even when delivered by Steve Austin have looked like a killer (see Sgt. Slaughter taking the Stunner) to looking like complete carny business-killing garbage (see Linda or recently Vince taking it). Whereas a "mid" finisher has had times where it looked incredible when you'd see a Kurt Angle or even a Rodney (for a deep pull) get height and get folded by the move. It takes two to tango in the squared circle.
Unpopular opinion - The Big Show’s KO punch is the best finisher. - It was so devastating seeing a 7ft tall 450lbs giant punch someone in the jaw and watching them flop to the ground.
Guys, all finishers are dangerous if they execute it properly on an opponent but they don't execute it properly on a wrestler because the chances of getting injured are high.
Tbf, the mandible claw is a real submission, its a pressure point and in a real fight your opponent wouldn't be able to bite because youre basically pulling a dude's lower jaw. It really hurts too.
Kevin still uses the Pop-Up Powerbomb but it;s often either escaped or doesn't get the win, although it do still get the win sometimes. I'm pretty sure Kevin even got a win with it fairly recently.
braun strowman could’ve made this list. his triangle choke when he was a heel looked so good. same with the reverse chokeslam. i hope he brings one of them back at some point. his running powerslam is so wack
Dude I think the styles clash is the most devastating looking finisher ever. It looks like it’d kill. But I guess you’re right he doesn’t look good doing it to bigger guys
Don’t know about this one, it comes down to personal preference but to me i just looks like he drops you on your stomach and lays on top of you. I agree with Santi that striking finishers look the best
Orton: RKO as normal, Punt for special ocassions, big matches Cena: AA/FU (STF is dreadful, ngl) Punk: GTS (Anaconda Vice is cool too though) Rollins: Curb Stomp, ez Taker: Tombstone. Amazing. Bryan: Knee. Especially when sold well. Miz: Skull Crushing Finale. Obviously. Charlotte: Figure 8. Spear and Big Boot work well for her, too, though. Gunther: Powerbomb. Just fits. Rock: Rock Bottom. Elbow is not good. At all. Roman: Guillotine. Fits him so well. KO: Pop Up Powerbomb. Not even close. An amazing move, love it. Don't like his stunner. Angle: Angle Lock. Bray: Sister Abigail. Move itself is kinda eh, but the theatrics work. Kane: Chokeslam. In a vacuum, Tombstone. But Chokeslam works for him so well. Becky: Dis-Arm-Her
yeah but there are times when Randy doesn't quite connect properly with the RKO which makes it look bad too. If they don't fall at the right time, no matter the move, it's going to look bad. It's why I prefer the moves where you completely control their movement like powerbombs or slams, or point of contact like a strike
Shout out to Gunther who in 2024 I saw win with all of these moves: powerbomb, lariat, splash, ankle lock (vs riddle), rear naked choke (vs Ciampa) and a liontamer (vs Miz)
I know its not relevant for this video but i feels like if the rock challenges roman reigns to wartlemania its tells us that in the fatal 4 way match roman reigns is going to win so i not expecting for randy orton la knight or aj styls to win at the rumble match
Personally I'd have had a way harder time choosing for Jericho if they had The Judas Effect instead of The Code Breaker cuz like you said it was 💩 as a finisher(he uses it as a signature now n it works way better for that) but that said I'd still have picked The Walls Of Jericho for the nostalgia cuz I grew up slapping The Walls Of Jericho on my little brother
Blue thunder bomb or helluvakick.. I think in my opinion helluvakick should be a prep for Blue thunder.. where in Sami does the kick first then grabs his opponent to do the Blue thunder bomb
The punt is the most protected finisher in history.
Nobody has ever kicked out. It’s literally used to write people off.
Ya sure ? No one kicked out ?
@@ajaykumark7319 unless there’s some kind of house show, or dark match that I don’t know about, yeah. It’s never been kicked out of

Man is a machine when it comes to the wrestling content and should actually take a full week to himself. Even when he was on vacation about a month or so ago, he was still recording reactions for us. 😂
He just took a week long break when he was on vacation he has prerecorded videos. Not everyone is a wuss like you who needs multiple breaks often
@@pleaseshutup7053 Yeah but he still did some vids while he was in Portugal, but also he still had to record quadruple times the videos before he left for Portugal
@@pleaseshutup7053 so as your name says “please shut up”
I'm from South Africa, when I was a kid we used to call the Ankle Lock, the "Angle Lock". That's how synonymous it was with Kurt Angle.
I can't believe you don't like the Codebreaker. I think that finisher looked great, especially when the person taking it really sold it with whiplash.
Facts
Santi smokes something because he said it’s bad for a baby face to make the heel tap out when it’s not
We all know walls of Jericho and lion tamer are not the same
Catch codebreaker on AJ
Yeah I love the fact that he can even do it as a mid air counter not many finishers are like that
16:02 Idk, I think Chad Gable's ankle lock is pretty fire, when he put it on Gunther in their third match, the selling on both ends was the closest I came to thinking Gunther was losing his title
I know he doesn't use it a lot anymore but I really dig AJ's Calf Crusher submission. Really wish he use it more
Tombstone Piledriver is my favorite. RKO is close second
I wanna ask him when did he knees start to hurt doing the tombstone
@@tmac731 lol😂

I remember the storyline with the punt to Cena Sr. back in 2007
This was a period of phenomenal heel work by Randy Orton
Started the punt on HBK then RVD right after Backlash '07
I loved JBLs Clothsline from Hell, the way the opponent sold it.
Anytime someone sells the clothesline with a flip epic
I have a few counter arguments for the Mandible Claw. The first one is the fact that you're supposed to be putting so much pressure on the jaw that you can't close it, thus can't bite down. I'm also sure that biting is illegal in most normal matches anyways.
the hand also goes under the tongue, try to bite down with your fingers pushing under your tongue
Adambryant4149 biting is not illegal in normal matches watch John cena vs Austin theory
The mandible claw sucks.
I really liked when Seth did the ripcord knee
Fun fact for you Santi, Undertaker beat triple H 3 times at wrestlemania, with all 3 different finishers. WM17 with the last ride, wm27 with the hell's gate, and wm28 with the tombstone piledriver.
Not a finisher but that power bomb roman used to do was insane

The Ankle Lock IS Kurt Angle. Especially when he does the full-body wraparound to really cinch it in. On Chaddy Daddy has ever come close to making it look as legit, and even he can’t do it as much justice since as you say, he isn’t as intense or vicious with the facial expressions. Any other option for Angle would be wrong
I always get excited when I see Santi upload a new video. Nice one as always ❤
16:30 I’ve been saying this for years 😂😂😂💯
I don't generally think that submission finishers clash with other finishers. They're different things.
Their finishers tf you saying?
@@kevinuchiha6830 Yes, but they're different tools for different types of wins.
@@JqlGirl meh. I honestly prefer Submission finishers anyway. If they close out a match than you can compare the two. Both are finishers to end the match
You should do one like this with wrestlers theme songs
Also, here's a video idea for you: Signature moves that are better than wrestler's finishers.
Im legit scared when Roman uses the Guillotine. I was legit surprised when Cody was able to get reverse it at Wrestlemania.
I was wanting Kevin owens vs Santos escobar, and santos literally popped up from a pop up powerbomb like it wasnt a finisher
Randy - RKO.
John Cena - AA.
CM Punk - GTS.
Seth Freakin' Rollins - Stomp.
Undertaker - Tombstone.
Daniel Bryan - Running Knee.
The Miz - Skull Crushing Finally.
Charlotte Flair - Figure 8 Leg Lock.
Gunther - is tough... I think all but the splash is a contender, I really personally liked the Final Symphony, but I think it has to be his Power Bomb.
The Rock - Rock Bottom looks great, no idea what Santi is on about, it is also the easy winner of this one.
Roman Reigns - I never disliked Roman, I never understood the anger about him, people now cheer LA Knight for the same reason that they hated Roman Reigns. But I agree his Guillotine is better. Even though I like the setup for his spear, we have just seen better spears than his.
Kevin Owens - Popup Power Bomb, not even close, his stunner looks dumb and I fear it will break his body the same way it did Austin's.
AJ Styles - Phenomenal Forearm. Styles Clash is lame.
Chris Jericho - Walls of Jericho with the knee on the back in particular, but just Walls of Jericho. Codebreaker is great, Santi you are high.
Kurt Angle - Ankle Lock. Ain't no fucking way you remember him for his Angle Slam.

Becky Lynch - Disarm-Her, I hate the name, absolutely fucking hate it, but it's a very, very good move.
i miss the punt kick
What do you think about Karrion Kross' latest finisher, which takes 5 business days to execute?
5 business days is wild
I agree with all except the last

I wish the superman punch was Romans finisher the set up is solid with the gold glove to boot
Mandible Claw (I think) is meant to strain the jaw downwards so that can’t bite and it hurts like hell
Jericho's Liontamer is literally just a Boston Crab, it's stupid that people call it Walls of Jericho. Walls of Jericho looked legit painful because he would put his knee in their back while standing up, doing a sit down Boston Crab is a completely different move that doesn't look like a finisher.
Actually walls of Jericho is just the Boston Crab and Liontamer is the move where he puts his knees behind the neck of his opponent.
Seth Rollins also had 3 finishers with the Ripcord knee but that did not show up either
The discrepancy between the Rock Bottom as "fine" and Rock lacking a truly great finisher for his character (in your opinion) and the Manhandle Slam as "great" and it defining her character just says to me these moves have as much as the people taking the moves as the person delivering them.

It takes two to tango in the squared circle.
Personally I wish AJ Styles would make the calf crusher a finisher, instead of just a signature, because it just looks amazing.
Pepsi Plunge is Punk’s best finisher
Punt is the nets finisher after the SWEET CHIN MUSIC
Unpopular opinion - The Big Show’s KO punch is the best finisher. - It was so devastating seeing a 7ft tall 450lbs giant punch someone in the jaw and watching them flop to the ground.

Not really a huge fan of Corbin, but the end of days is a great finisher
John Cena's FU/Attitude Adjustment (AA) is my favorite finisher
Plus Undertakers wife did the same move as AJ when she was in wwe
I see what you're saying about Chris Jericho but personally I've never been alive when he hasn't had the code breaker
Finn Balor's Coup de grace and 1916 DDT
Forgotten finishing move no one talks about but was legit
Mengs Tongan death grip
I like the mandible claw, looked vicious every time
Kevin still uses the Pop-Up Powerbomb but it;s often either escaped or doesn't get the win, although it do still get the win sometimes. I'm pretty sure Kevin even got a win with it fairly recently.
SANTI MAKE A VID ABOUT THE BESR STIPULATION MATCH FROM 2020-2023 EXAMPLES BEST HIAC,BEST MITB BEST ONE ON ONE

Gunther should have this concept as his own video cuz bro has 20000 finishers
at least we got a finisher video but, day 32 of asking for top ten best womens finishers🥲
Ouch bro
when I was a amateur wrestler growing up I would use CM Punks Anaconda Vise and have won nearly half my matches with it
Baron Corbin deep 6 over the end of days
You should do a video on “finishers that would fit other wrestlers” for example , I think a Kinshasa would fit fin balor
with the mandible claw, i he hand goes under the tongue, try to bite down with your fingers pushing under your tongue
Orton: RKO as normal, Punt for special ocassions, big matches
Cena: AA/FU (STF is dreadful, ngl)
Punk: GTS (Anaconda Vice is cool too though)
Rollins: Curb Stomp, ez
Taker: Tombstone. Amazing.
Bryan: Knee. Especially when sold well.
Miz: Skull Crushing Finale. Obviously.

Kane: Chokeslam. In a vacuum, Tombstone. But Chokeslam works for him so well.
Becky: Dis-Arm-Her
Elevated lion tamer is soooo good, not the sitting position
With the GTS people should sell it like they are scrambling to get out of the fireman's Cary then go to sleep when the knee connects
The stunner just comes second to the rko because you never know if the seller is Gonna do a rock or Mr McMahon
yeah but there are times when Randy doesn't quite connect properly with the RKO which makes it look bad too. If they don't fall at the right time, no matter the move, it's going to look bad. It's why I prefer the moves where you completely control their movement like powerbombs or slams, or point of contact like a strike
Too me the Man handle slam is just a rip off rock bottom. They’re both basic. But in my opinion the rock made it look deadly.
Shout out to Gunther who in 2024 I saw win with all of these moves: powerbomb, lariat, splash, ankle lock (vs riddle), rear naked choke (vs Ciampa) and a liontamer (vs Miz)

✅The Rock Bottom
✅Spear

✅Phenomenal Forearm
✅The Walls of Jericho
✅Angle's Ankle Lock
✅Sister Abigail
✅Chokeslam
✅Dis-Arm-Her
the best finished john cena had is the FU and the worst is AA, theyre not the same, the fu was a harder slam to the ground
Is nobody gonna mention the five nuckle shuffle
The Manhandle Slam is a bad variation of the Rock Bottom, I'll always prefered the Dis-arm Her
Shoulda included Sami’s Helluva Kick and blue thunder bomb
Unbelievable putting last ride and not Hells Gate
Unpopular opinion the stylesclash looked better in women’s division as faith breaker by Michelle McCool.
You look tired, Santi. Get your well-deserved rest.
Will Santis upload streak ever end
santizap vs wrestlelamia . Who put out the best finisher video today ?
Jericho has a new finisher in aew and I really love it
yea the RKO is literally randy freaking orton bc the move is his name Randall Keith Orton
You need to rewatch Kane and undertaker because taker had the most height in choke slam more than Kane
i have a feeling we’re gonna hit 200k this year. so consider this a pre congrats
Personally I'd have had a way harder time choosing for Jericho if they had The Judas Effect instead of The Code Breaker cuz like you said it was 💩 as a finisher(he uses it as a signature now n it works way better for that) but that said I'd still have picked The Walls Of Jericho for the nostalgia cuz I grew up slapping The Walls Of Jericho on my little brother
Blue thunder bomb or helluvakick.. I think in my opinion helluvakick should be a prep for Blue thunder.. where in Sami does the kick first then grabs his opponent to do the Blue thunder bomb
My favorite is seth rollins stomps
Mine is Sharpshooter. Tombstone and RKO
doesn't beat the RKO
For Me The Curb Stomp, Stunner and Sweet Chin music are the best Finishers of all time
Yes
I really love Jeff hardy cutter it's just hits different even tho alot people don't like it.
You forgot Gunther’s 10 other submission finishers lol
For Seth Rollins I like his ripcord knee strike
