10 Best WWE Finishing Moves
The best WWE finishers ever!
2. The Stunner
When Steve Austin came into WWE as The Ringmaster, he was given the finisher that his manager, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, had previously used.
And while there was nothing wrong with The Million Dollar Dream submission hold, Austin needed a new, more explosive finisher as his attitude became increasingly intense and aggressive.
It was Michael Hayes who suggested Stone Cold use a version of the Ace Cutter, which John ‘Johnny Ace’ Laurinaitis had been using to great effect in Japan.
A swift kick to the gut is the perfect setup for the move, which sees Austin grab his opponent with his bicep under their jaw, before dropping to his backside and sending his foe to their knees in a sort-of jawbreaker motion.
It was one of the missing pieces of the puzzle and would go on to become one of the moves that defined the Attitude Era.
A timeless finisher, fans to this day will still pop huge for a good Stunner, a move which has been adopted in recent years by Kevin Owens.
