Swift Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I was thinking about finishing moves last night as you do, and I came up with a pithy line like "It's not a good finishing move if it can't be done on The Big Show" That's not necessarily true, but it got me thinking. I haven't been watching wrestling for a few years, so some of these moves may indeed have been done on him. Cesaro's helicopter spin thingy? A piledriver? A tombstone piledriver? I feel like it must've been done at some stage as he and Taker had a few feuds going on over the years. Go 2 Sleep surely hasn't been done. Backcracker must be one. And outside of moves that involve lifting, some submission moves must be cumbersome to put on. Sharpshooter? Lion Tamer? What else? Let's limit it to WWE type moves, and not throw out the twisting double underhook corkscrew top rope suplex indy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I don't think anyone- not even Brock- has ever done the Triple German on Show. Shallow Google search says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Fairly certain Angle did once? Jericho certainly had him in the Lion Tamer at some point (Hardcore Title match on RAW early 01ish?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I really want to say The Undertaker did Tombstone him or Kane did back in 99/2000 before he really started bulking up. Maybe I'm just thinking of when I did it to him in the Smackdown video games. But yeah I would say a Piledriver is the one real thing never done to him. I don't think he's ever been put in the Sharpshooter (not when Bret was in WCW). Sting's Scorpion Death Lock doesn't count since Sting can barely do it himself. Personally I find it crazy the guy has been superplexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Pretty sure there was no Liontamer on Big Show. Definitely not in that Hardcore title match. There was a Walls of Jericho (standard Boston crab) during a Royal Rumble, though. 2004 or 2005 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that issue many times as well, never knew that. Would Last Ride count? I'm not talking if he's on the turnbuckle and 'Taker just grabbed his arms and did it (like at WMX7 against HHH) I mean the full motion from lifting to dropping him down.

(BP) Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah, I suspect part of the reason was so he could sneak the Quackensmash in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
