Paid Members garynysmon Posted September 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not the best executed version I can find, but I always loved the Headbangers' finish. (Skip to 4.35 in) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as it was always Taker's finish anyway. Â They immediately banned piledrivers after Hunter suffered either a stinger or was partially knocked out by the Tombstone at Judgment Day 2000. Hence Taker starting to use the Last Ride and Kane going home with a chokeslam the rest of the year on the occasion he was allowed to win a match. Gradually they softened to allowing only wrestlers they trusted to execute safely to start using them again on occasion including Taker himself on (funnily enough) Triple H by Mania 17, even as far as Shawn giving Cena a piledriver on steps at Mania 23. But it's still seldom seen, part of the reason Punk got a good reaction from nailing Cena with one in their shit hot match just before Mania 29.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 4, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2018 I remember Austin hitting Angle with a piledriver on the concrete during the Invasion. They sold that as such a huge, brutal thing that I totally bought into the devastation. I don’t think I’d have done that if I’d been seeing piledrivers in matches every week. It’s nice when certain moves only turn up every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2018 Talking of which, someone should start using The Last Ride again. Maybe Strowman? That was a hell of a finish - even though it was adopted as an alternative to the Tombstone, it didn't feel like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strowman has made the running powerslam his own so seems a waste for him to change his finish. Drew has the claymore kick but someone his size would look great smashing people in half with a last ride. He could even tweak it to make it more his own, sit out or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well game for Drew having a big ol'powerbomb, he's got the size and aesthetic to make it look devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
