The Super-Finisher

A great finishing move can define a wrestler. Finishers can become iconic, from Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stunner to The Rock's People's Elbow. But when a finisher doesn't work, in rare circumstances, wrestlers dig deep to brandish a powerful, more dangerous super-finisher to finish the job. Sometimes, the maneuver becomes more iconic than its creator!
