Goldberg had the best spear by far. Roman has the worst IMO. I agree that Edge's spear looked bad, but it didn't look as bad as Roman's. Edge has stated that he couldn't do the spear properly the way he wanted to due to his neck issues. So, I can excuse Edge's spear being bad for that reason. Kaitlyn's spear was awful. Christian's was bad, too. AH! That's got to be a joke. Right? Right? No way you're being serious. It's not a joke. Roman's spear just doesn't look like it has any impact to me. It just looks like he moves very slow. He doesn't run very fast. It's just too slow. When he hits them, it looks ok, but the running part is why I hate it.

1. Goldberg 2. Rhino 3. Big Show (Based on the fact that it's a freaking giant running at you) 4. Roman Reigns 5. Everyone else 6. Edge I agree with this list. Goldberg and Rhino are the only 2 people who can do the spear and make it believable.

That's just one out of millions he has done.

On the list, the spaces in between are not big at all. Goldberg's is definitely the best, and Rhino's is destructive. Big Show and Reigns have the closest. Both are very good.

It's just a football tackle. It's not a wrestling maneuver. It's supposed to be used by journeymen who retired from Football after injuries, & is a subtle way of saying "Me no know how wrestle right, so me just knock you down now."

Ok, that was a good one. I mean most of the ones he does in the ring look slow.

I watched that gif about 50 times! One of his best imo

Is this the finisher that people just go to when they can't come up with something original or creative? The first time I ever noticed the Spear was when Goldberg popularized it. I still think he looked the best doing it and it wasn't even his finisher! Rhino also had a great one too, but I did see the movement being a little different and it was definitely marketed much better (Gore! Gore! Gore!) But lately, it's just been all over the place and it happens to be the finisher for the new face of the WWE! I just feel like the move has become extremely basic since everyone's doing it! Roman Reigns Edge (I always thought his looked the weakest) Batista Big Show Lashley Christian Charlotte I'm sure there's more... I guess what I'm trying to say is it would be cool to see Roman do another finisher... The Spear is everywhere, but the Overdrive Swinging Neckbreaker using the leg was the original interim finisher for guys on the roster. Its been used by Prime Time Elix Skipper, Randy Orton, Carlito, MVP, etc

The only guy right now that does a spear I love seeing everytime I see it is Moose. His spear is great

I always thought that move looked creative, and then wondered why everyone would abruptly stop using it. Maybe it was just TOO unrealistic for their tastes...

I remember during the invasion Rhyno speared The Rock and it looked so powerful I actually thought he killed him.

Goldberg spears the sh** out of big Kane and then kills poor Nunzio on live TV... I mean... he died, right?

Charlotte's spear is just awful IMO. Reigns can be hit or miss. But Goldberg & Rhyno had fantastic spears. I remember Big Show hitting Evan Bourne with a spear and it looking brutal af.

I wish the spear would go away. Most who use it now can't do it right. I really can't stand Charlotte's weak looking spear.

His move is a spear because he ing sucks. His other move is a punch because he ing sucks. Superman punch. I'd like to Superman punch the jackass that thought that was a good idea. That said, I love spears, as long as it's not a total waste of human doing it. Goldberg and Rhyno win 10 times out of ten.

Are you actually trying to argue that he's good at it? And that's the gif you provide? I'm actually jealous that you could find this entertaining.

I know Goldberg isn't a great wrestler, didn't pay his dues, doesn't love the business, but his spear/jackhammer finisher combo is by far my favorite finisher. Unlike many finishers it doesn't have an overly elaborate and unrealistic setup and it actually looks like it hurts. The spear makes sense as a setup for a finisher, not a finisher in an of itself. Similar to a kick to the face - it's a good stunning move that sets the guy up for a finisher, but not really a finisher IMO.You can add the superkick to over used, not all that impressive finishers. I dunno about you, but a full blown proper kick to the face is a pretty effective finisher. Far more realistic than a lot of other finishers. I'd believe an Orton punt would put someone away pretty easily, and you just have to watch stuff like UFC to know a proper kick can put you down in an instant

I'm going to go with something Courtney Rush said one time (she uses the spear) "If you can't be bothered to leave both of your feet, don't use the spear"
