I'm thinking the Rockers win them in the October (as was the plan until Neidhart ribbed the ropes off), and then Roma and Herc win them at Mania. You'll get a good Rockers run out of it as well.

Of course, some members may not know that in the few days after the phantom title switch was filmed but before they decided it couldn't air, the Rockers were defending the belts against Herc and Roma on house shows.

They should bring back the Money Shot/Big splash off the top rope for one of the bigger lads. Always a cracking visual and relatively simple in execution. Ditto a Vader Bomb, which I think I've seen Nia Jax use although knowing her she probably executes it horribly. 

Mark Henry's World's Strongest Slam will be up for grabs now - that can be re-named and given to someone else. Think it would be impressive from someone like a Lars Sullivan from NXT.

I was thinking a good big splash or Frog Splash with height or grace would be an excellent finish for one of the middleweight types then I remembered Rollins effectively uses the High Fly Flow for a mid-match near fall. Which made me angry.

The cobra clutch with that visual for Harper is a blinding shout, but It needs a Minoru Suzuki style exclamation point. Transition into Rainmaker?

Lot of technique being discussed for a monster who should be ragdolling people. The guy's got presence and can be genuinely scary, I don't want him twisting an arm or applying pressure to the carotid artery, restricting the flow of blood to the brain. He could get a monstrous short-arm clothesline over as a finish easily without theatrics.

 I know hardly anyone watches it but Lio Rush does a fantastic Frog Splash with height on 205 Live. I’ve always liked the Burning Hammer as a finished. Don’t think anyone has done it since Tyler Reks.

Mustache Mountain use it as a finish and when KOR kicked out of it at Takeover I slunked back in my chair and muttered "For fucks sake". No one should be kicking out of the fucking Burning Hammer unless it's for a massively important occasion.

The Crush style "head vice" could work well for someone like Strowman or Lars Sullivan. Have it as an inescapable hold and make sure his opponent sells the shit out of it and it would make a great visual way to end the match...

Did anyone ever use a "Brain Drain" type move as a finisher? I'm thinking like the head vice previously mentioned, but using the knuckles on his opponent's temples? I have a vague memory of seeing it, but can't think where from?

LOL! Tyler's faceplant finish was as close to The Burning Hammer as Cena's finish is to a Death Valley Driver. Bastard ginger step-sibling, picked last in PE, smells like sour milk.

Bob Laughter finished with a knuckle to the temple until he got cushy with Sadaam and switched to the Camel Clutch.

No-ones doing a Shoulder Breaker as a finisher, are they? I always loved the move but I can't recall ever seeing it used much post Scott Norton.

Birchall used a shoulder breaker for a small period of time, he transitioned into an armbar for added effect.

The Dominator is definitely a move a big bastard should be breaking out.

What's Lashley's finisher these days? I remember him using the Dominator in his first run before they switched him to the Running Powerslam, but with that being Strowman's move now, I was wondering what he does.

People talking about the Burning Hammer.... I forgot Kendrick had busted one out. For 2. Sickening.

 

I remember this. I also remember forgiving it because it's Ibushi and he could no-sell a bump through adamantium and I'd still love him.
