Right Gimmick / Wrong Finishers?

Edge's Spear- I don't know why people say this doesn't suit him I see it working for him because he's bigger than alot of the other superstars so it makes it believeable that he would be able to knock the wind out of someone with a spear that has him get a running start from across the ring and he's not so big that the move would look weird when he does it like when Batista or Show does it.

It's not so much that it doesn't look believable, it's more that it's hard to believe that Edge can win matches with it, when guys 50-100lbs heavier than him can't. Goldberg, Batista and now Show are all guys a lot bigger, heavier and more powerful than Edge, so why would we believe that his spear is the most effective? Especially in the instances when he doesn't do the run up.

And people complaining about Big Show having the chokeslam as a finisher? He's 7 foot 2 and 450lbs for God's sake! Anything he does is likely to leave you flattened. On most of his opponents, they're so small that he doesn't look like he's delivering a chokeslam, he looks like he's throwin a garbage bag into a dumpster. So forget that Undertaker and Kane do it, Big Show is bigger and stronger than them, therefore his is the most effective Chokeslam, therefore it's a suitable finisher for the largest athlete in the world.

Whoever said Matt Hardy needs to stop using the TOF because Jeff uses it. Do some history research son, it was always Matt's move first. Jeff's finisher has always been the Swanton, and the TOF has always been a signature move of all three members of Team Extreme, but originally, it was Matt's finisher.

And a number of people have said things like 'That move is perfect for his character.' wtf is that supposed to mean? Someone said the Starship Pain was perfect for JoMo's character. How? Does he dress like an astronaut and threaten to torture people? Or is it just because he does lots of flips, so therefore, he's got to have a high risk finisher?

"The Killswitch is such a better name than the Unprettier, it fits Christian's character better." Pure bollocks. Neither name has anything to do with Christain's character... EVER! It's proper name is the Impaler. But when Christian came along, Gangrel was calling his Implant DDT the Impaler, so they didn't call it anything for ages. Then Edge and Christian went heel after the Triangle Ladder match at WM16, and that's when they gave it the name, 'Unprettier'. Not because Christian was obsessed with his looks or any bullshit like that, but for the pure logical reason that it smashes your face into the floor!

Tommy Dreamer added a Death Valley Driver to his signature moves years ago. Why did he stop? Because some other douchebag decided his finisher should be something similar, and Vince said, 'He draws, you don't, stop using that move!' And he went back to the DDT, that he always used, since 1993. You people aren't banging on at Hogan after 20 years of leg drops are ya? Hypocrites.

I do however, agree that some people have the wrong finishers. Shelton Benjamin, wtf is the Pay Dirt anyway? Everytime i see him do it, it looks like his opponent countered. It's like a Downward Spiral, but it's jumping in the air? Stupid. He should have stuck with the T-Bone suplex.

Regal's Knee Trembler. Here's a guy that throws some of the best suplexes in the 'E' today, has a unique submission hold, and a nasty looking neckbreaker in his repetoire, yet his finisher is a running knee to the head. LAME!

Miz's Reality Check or whatever it's called. The running high knee, into a neck breaker. THAT'S NOT A FUCKIN' FINISHER, IT'S 2 SHIT MOVES DONE RIGHT AFTER ONE ANOTHER, AND GIVEN A STUPID NAME!

Ziggler's finisher. It's a Pay Dirt executed from behind, isn't it? So need I explain why i think it's a shit move?

And isn't Tyson Kidd's finisher a sprinboard elbow drop? Yeah, you're gonna have to do better than that dude.

I don't think that a finishing move needs to tie in with a gimmick at all really. You can easily have any move as you want, you don't need to be restricted by what you're character does.
