Finishing maneuvers are meant to signify the end because of their punishing impact. It's more than a simple clothesline or a body slam. Some of the best finishers look so devastating that we feel there's no way a person could get up afterward. Then, we have the finishers that make us cringe for a different reason.The finishers on this list are, for lack of a better term, weak. Any male wrestler on the WWE active roster qualified for this list, with only the worst of the worst making the cut. John Cena - Attitude AdjustmentCertainly being thrown onto your back could knock the ...

The WWE Hall of Fame is a good idea that spans back to the 1993 induction of Andre The Giant. After a hiatus from 1997-2003, the 2004 class ignited a very fun 10-year run of stars who (mostly) deserved the recognition they got. But now we've got a problem. We're running out of stars. Take a look at the major sports Hall of Fames and you'll notice one major difference: In every sport, there are many athletes who aren't in, but it could be argued that they deserve to be inducted.Can we argue that with the WWE? Aside from the next ...

When a wrestler kicks out of an opponent's finishing maneuver, it's supposed to be a special and heroic evasion of an inevitable ending to the match. Instead, it's turned into a commonplace situation guys like John Cena and C.M. Punk perform on a regular basis.What needs to happen is a change in that philosophy. Finishing maneuvers (minus the submissions) should signify the end of the match. When an opponent is weak enough, that Rock Bottom or GTS should be enough for the wrestler to pin his or her opponent for three seconds.How do we make the subtle change back to ...

The World Heavyweight Championship has a very storied history, dating all the way back to 1940 as the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Title. That title still remains today, but it was back in 1991 when Ric Flair won the title and was recognized as the first WCW World Heavyweight Champion.1991 was a very tumultuous year for the title, as Flair jumped ship to the (then) WWF after being fired by WCW. Long story short, Lex Luger won the WCW title, and the NWA did not want to recognize him as their champion. In September of 1993, WCW officially withdrew from ...

Having The Rock back in WWE has been fun for most, annoying for a few and great conversation for all. We know that Rocky won't be back indefinitely, so while he's here, he should do some good for the future of the company. What better way than to be the head of a group of young men like The Shield?Similar to the rub that Ric Flair gave Evolution and Randy Orton gave Legacy, The Rock could bring some serious legitimacy to The Shield. Even though their vignettes and appearances have been done well, they're still "those guys" to most casual ...

The major difference between WWE programming and my enjoyment of it from when I was a kid until now is completely based on how believable the content is. As children, we allow ourselves to believe much more than we do as adults and the wrestling industry suffers because of that.I grew up watching the 1980s WWF with Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior leading the way. These were two larger-than-life superstars that I believed in. Even as a kid, I knew that Skinner had no chance to beat Hogan because that's what they wanted me to believe and I could tell ...

The WWE has their Hall of Fame induction ceremony every year before WrestleMania and they provide a lot of classic content and memorabilia at WrestleMania Axxess. It tends to be a huge hit and should absolutely continue, but what about the other 51 weeks of the year?WCW once had a wrestling-themed restaurant in Las Vegas. When WCW started going down the tubes, so did the restaurant, but the idea was popular enough that people were interested.If I had to describe Las Vegas in three words it would be glitz, glamour and showmanship. Don't those three things describe what Vince McMahon ...

Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena will headline this Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view from Chicago, Illinois. It's a tremendous opportunity for WWE to enhance how both stars are viewed.Lesnar needs to win without a doubt. There shouldn't be interference from John Laurinaitis or anyone else. This is an opportunity to continue Lesnar as a monster, and they shouldn't mess with it.As a matter of fact, I would love to see Lesnar win quick and easy and make it very well known that he viewed Cena as a joke before and views him the same way now.This kind of booking wouldn't hurt ...

Brock Lesnar was always known for having a chiseled and massive upper body to go along with his menacing look. In his return to Raw last Monday night, he was wearing a sleeveless shirt and many of us noticed that Lesnar looked like he wasn't hitting the weights as hard as he used to.Once he takes off that shirt and gets in the ring for his first match, it's going to be extremely important that he is in as close to top shape as possible. For a guy who doesn't have tremendous promo skills, it becomes that much more important ...

John Cena's thuganomics character has always resonated with me because I enjoy the cocky heel who will verbally trash his opponent in every way possible with a more serious tone.Cena brought that character back last night on Raw and it was no different, as he was awesome on the mic and tore The Rock apart.The Rock had his concert as well and similar to his previous incarnations of sing-a-longs, he was very campy and used the same tired arguments. The Rock continued his "fruity pebbles" and "kung pao" taunts and as is the usual, the crowd enjoyed chanting along.Although The ...
