The spear, double sit out power bomb and the crucifix bomb should all be finishers
All main event talent should have multiple finishers like how styles finishes guys with both the styles clash and phenomenal elbow.
Rollins should have the double duplex and the pedigree. Ambrose should use both variants of the dirty deeds (give the other one a new name) Rusev finishes guys with both the accolade and super kick etc etc
It's a crucifix powerbomb, but yeah, it's easily his best move and he hits it really clean. I'd love if he used it as his finisher and got rid of the superman punch.
i like it but i dont think he is strong enough to do it to enough people as a finisher. if i recall correctly he messed it up in the battleground triple threat against rollins at one point and just hit him with a sitout powerbomb.
I liked it but then I always liked The Razor's Edge powerbomb. Why not recycle it now? It's certainly got a lot more going for it than some of the finishers that people have.
I still don't see how Sister Abigail is all that effective as Wyatt still has his arm under the person being slammed. Is it supposed to be Whiplash or something? Never got the appeal of the wierd thing MVP would do as well. It looked like he was taking the weight on his face. Huge Powerbomb looks a ton better!
It should be. I'm so sick of the lame ass spear being a finisher. Goldberg had the most devastating spear ever and it wasn't even his finish. I honestly think that's one of the (albeit many) reasons why he gets so much hate from the smarks. It might even be subliminal because I just realized myself just how pissed off I get when he hits the spear because of just how lame it is when it's supposed to be this super move. The only time he should end the match with it is on a counter like say AJ springboards off the ropes for his forearm and gets caught with it. Something like that.
WWE has relied upon transitional finishers too much for so many wrestlers that it has become obvious that certain moves will never result in a pinfall
Rollin's superplex follow by another suplex never results in a pin, Reigns sit out powerbomb never gets a pin, zayn's blue thunder bomb never gets a pin...
Fans wise up to these false finishes and expect a kick out at two every time.
I've been saying this for a while now actually, since he did it on AJ back in their feud. I think it looks awesome, it's also different from Hall's "Razor's Edge" (standing crucifix powerbomb) and Sheamus' "High Cross" (running crucifix powerbomb) as it's a seated variation. Especially with Rhyno Goring people, his Spear looks weak as shit, it's a running hug compared to Goldberg and Rhyno. The spear as a counter to other moves is fantastic, he should keep it in his moveset and get rid of the superlame punch, and use the powerbomb. Such a wasted move. And yeah the Blue Thunder Bomb should replace the frickin "Helluva Kick" too which is a piece of shit move for me.
I think he can only do it on smaller guys, that's why it's not his his main finisher. Though he certainly can do better than the spear though (which his doesn't even look good half the time).
He's done a million different powerbomb variations to Sheamus. I think he'd be able to handle people a little bigger than him doing the razor's edge. Now guys like Strowman and Cass? Obviously not.
Reigns should use this as a finisher, much cooler than the Spear. Speaking of that, I always felt Zayn should use Blue Thunder Bomb as his main finisher rather than the Helluva Kick. Cesaro's finisher should be the springboard spinning European uppercut instead of the pseudo-Styles Clash. And Falcon Arrow is a great finisher for Seth Rollins when he turns babyface and ditches the Pedigree.
I said that it should definitely be his finishing move.
Zayn kicked out of it in the fatal four way match - but I see they sort of protected it in the main event with Balor countering. I really hope they go down the route of making it his finisher. It looked awesome and he can pull it off.
Anyone can do a spear, but Roman is one of the few, in an era of skinny indy imports, that can actually perform a razors edge powerbomb. I say give him the new finisher.
It definitely should be his finisher. It looked great when he first performed it - his spear looks weak as hell. And his Superman Punch does too to some extent - and it doesn't really suit his new tweener-character. In-ring he's fighting more like a heel than a babyface it seems now, so even the name 'superman punch' just really doesn't suit anymore. If he keeps it, it should be renamed 'the Iron Fist' to go with all the 'Roman Empire' stuff.
