I think I posted about this a while ago, but there has been no improvement since then really - why the fuck don't the announcers (and WWE in general) bother giving names to so many prominent moves?
Just watching Ambrose vs. Ziggler on Main Event, the announcing in the match suffered because when Ambrose hit his finisher, the announcer can't go "Oh he's got him for the (_____), he hits it!" or something, he just goes "Ambrose...Ziggler...planted!" or something lame. With no move names the announcer can't say something like "He's looking to hit the (_______)" or "He hit him with the (____)." Imagine a lot of the all-time great WWE calls without the move names. It's ridiculous.
The specific moves I'm thinking of are Ambrose's finisher, Bryan's new knee finisher, and Curtis Axel's finisher. Other prominent guys without finisher move names include Fandango and Seth Rollins (even though the blackout already has a name). The weird thing is, most NXT guys have names for their finishers. Bray Wyatt does. But then again Sami Zayn doesn't.
Do you guys agree it's completely bush league to not give prominent moves names, and that the calling of the matches often suffers as a result? And I know we did this part last time, but if you've got suggestions for good names for the moves, shout 'em out.
