I remember Test having many finishers...Big boot, Pumphandle Slam, Test Drive, TKO, Diving Elbow, Full Nelson Slam, Gutwrench Powerbomb. I believe he used most of em as finishers at one point. He definitely had a bunch and you're right that he used all of them at one point as a finisher. It really bothered me that in No Mercy on N64 his front Special was the Baldo Bomb. A move he never even used once. |

Not sure if it’s really forgotten, but it was always funny to me that Ludwig Borga used the Torture Rack as a finished despite Vince telling Lex Luger that he couldn’t use it when he joined the WWF. Then they started feuding and no mention of Borga using Lex’s old finisher was ever mentioned.

And then Lex just started using the Torture Rack again in 1994 once they cooled off on the "loaded forearm" gimmick. |

Definitely could suit him, but my issue was that he never used the move EVER so it was baffling why they gave it to him as a finisher in the game when there were half a dozen other moves that would have actually made sense based on his real-life repertoire. |

Yeah that's true lol. I loved em in the original Smackdown games. |

The Brock Lock immediately comes to mind. I always got a kick out of how unpainful it looked. He's bending his opponent's knee the way its meant to bend and if anything, hurting himself in the process.
Taker used the Dragon Sleeper for a while in 2002 if I recall.

The one time the Brock Lock looked painful to me was when he literally sat on Benoit’s head while applying it. Outside of that I never thought it looked good. |

Pretty sure I saw it used more in the Smackdown video game than in real life and he was always in a standing position while doing it. |

The issue with the Brock Lock was it didn’t look painful. ACTUALLY doing that to somebody does hurt, because it’s pulling on your knee like a MFer…but for the sake of wrestling, it just didn’t look painful. It looked fun haha
Something like the surfboard stretch looks painful but doesn’t hurt at all. You’re just kinda balanced on the opponents legs. It’s all about the perception

Does HBK's weird back suplex he used when he first turned heel count?? aka the ''teardrop suplex''. The announcers never called it by that name though He also used the piledriver briefly in late 93 Aka the Saito Suplex, too. That was actually Jushin Liger's finishing move during his debut year in '89. |

Chico Santana changing up his finisher (I don't remember the name, I think they called it pasa del monte, or something like that) when he became El Matador. Never understood why, his flying forearm looked amazing. El Paso del Muerte |
