Playmaker is a shitty finish. SCM and RKO are probably the two best finishers in WWE. Crossface was one as well. Quick, look realistic, and looked effective.

The 619 is actually a kind of complicated move, i dont think it should be on the list.

Stunner's a nice finish, where as the 619 takes too long to execute and looks contrived.

I think the worm is another crappy finisher. What damage could that possibly do?a good finisher was the F-5

Actually, the F-U can take out a baby, but it can't take out anyone else, unless he slams his opponent that hard on the ground. Yeah though, I agree with KGB.. How much real do you want him to make it look..

def the Hogan leg drop its extreamly simple and doesnt hurt much (real not fake) but then again I havent had a 300+ pound man doing it to me soo...

and has any of you actually had the FU done to you (not fake shit but really)? its maybe slightly over rated in my book, its simple but effective (even when it is faked its based on a painful move which is what we should be looking at)

Actually he can make it much more realistic, as a matter of fact the F-U hasn't always sucked. I'm no fan of Cena, but toward the beginning of his usage of the F-U it use to be more like an Elevated Death Valley Driver with the opponent landing mostly on their neck/shoulders as opposed to a Standing Fireman's Carry Slam which lays them out flat for the landing. Like everything else though the WWE made him dumb it down, this is also why most DVDs done in the WWE nowadays, when done, look sort of like the F-U. Tommy Dreamer does his like that now as well, and it sucks. So as much as I'm not very big on Cena, I don't really think he can be blamed for it. Blamed WWE for making everything too tame. I understand looking out for the well being of their talent, but they take it too far sometimes and it just ruins the who look of things. But, yes, the current F-U can definitely be considered overrated.

The 619 is just goofy, I really don't think it needs an explanation. Nor does the Worm.

The Playmaker is just a horrible move, and in no way is MVP to blame. This move is literally one of the worst there is. No one can do it and make it look credible. This is a jobber or rookie move as far as I am concerned. It's a jobber or rookie move given to people until they can figure out a real move to give them. Orton use to do it and it sucked. Carlito use to do it and it sucked. Elix Skipper used the move, and possible invented it, and it sucked. Now MVP does it and it still sucks. No one can do this move and make it look credible. This is one of the wrestling moves that should be banned out of it's pure lameness.

The Stunner was a good finisher and not at all overrated because he usually did it fast and sudden enough that it could easily pick up a pinfall if followed up with a pin soon enough.

The People's Elbow, well, this is a hard to call one. In the beginning it was just one of his trademark moves, not a finisher. Then he started using it as a finisher and it was pretty overrated then because he would set it up with a simple scoop slam. But later it became more plausible in my opinion because he set it up with a pretty stiff looking Spinebuster which could easily be believable enough of a move to keep the opponent down, couple that with the fact that he start landing the elbow with more force and usually toward the middle of the opponent's chest. I can see it keeping someone down for a quick three count realistically.

I'd also say the RKO is overrated somewhat too. It really isn't all that great. It's a poor man's Diamond Cutter in my opinion and doesn't come close to it, nor does it really come close to being as good as the Twist of Fate either.

The F-U, its basically a firemans carry, if it was more like a Death Valley Driver, it would look more painful and more effective (since you dropping them on there head). Also Hogan's Leg Drop is pretty lame & Mark Jindrak's Power Punch.

all I can say about any of the finishers is try having any of them done to you for real and tell me that it felt great.......to me the most overated move was Curt Hennigs' "Perfect Plex" Fireman's Suplex Pin.....the Sharpshooter was to me one of the best finshers ever used.....I've been locked in it for real and it hurts like you wouldn't believe

I agree with the new/old FU, WWE dumbed it down
actually I agree with most of what The Rob said exept the RKO, I think it looks better than Daimond Cutter but Twist of Fate does top them both

Never said that he said that, IMO if it was more like a DVD, it would look more effective

F-U. It's a firemans carry. People do it on Cena - no effect, but Cena does it - opponent's KO'd for the 1-2-3.
