Top 10 Worst Finishing Moves in Professional Wrestling

August 29, 2009

1. Jeff Jarrett – The Stroke

I love this picture’s caption as it sums up how I feel about The Stroke. This move has always been my least favorite modern day finisher. Everything about it is bad. It looks ineffective, and more importantly, Jarrett rarely pulls it off with any amount of power. It’s sloppy, most wrestlers don’t take it well and block most of the impact with their hands, and ultimately just does NOT look like something that would knock an opponent out.
