In-Ring

Finisher

A wrestler's signature match-ending move. The RKO, the Stunner, the Tombstone, the F-5, the Pedigree. When a finisher hits, the match should be over — that's the social contract. A great finisher is easy to set up, looks devastating, and can be hit on anyone regardless of size. The best finishers become so iconic that you can identify the wrestler by the move alone, thirty years later.

"RKO outta nowhere! He hit it out of a backflip! This match is over."
