50 Greatest Finishing Moves in WWE History
WWE 50 Greatest Finishing Moves is definitely a MUST BUY, MUST SEE!!! It was my husband's 30th birthday gift and he absolutely loves it. What we like the most were the #1 Finishing Move and the historical matches on the other discs--awesome blasts from the pasts. Thank you WWE!!!
WWF and WWE fans may like this DvD
I ditto what Wrestle Dude said, the crippler crossface should be on this dvd, but you true fans know why it isnt. There is a good mix of old moves so WWE does a good job of paying homage to their roots. Then of course there is a whole buffet for the WWe universers out there. This isnt a dvd that you will watch over and over again but still pretty good. I loved seeing the Brett Hart v Mr Bob Backlund match which i havent seen in years. Good stuff, although they did leave off The Stieners and the British Bulldogs finishers.
WWE Kind Of Reaching With This One
In recent years, the WWE has found a nice little niche market in releasing these "countdown" lists, capitalizing on both current fandom and nostalgia alike. This "Finishing Moves" list, however, just fails to hold viewer interest for the full runtime.
The problem here is two-fold:
First, a listing of finishing holds just isn't dramatic enough to form an entire show out of. With all the other little WWE collections that have come out before this one, there is no fresh material here (just a different grouping of the same information).
The other problem is that many of the commentators talk about the finishing moves/holds as if they are actually real wrestling holds. I understand the concept of kayfabe, to be sure, but come on! I think we are all past the point of analyzing the "physical purpose" of the hold and instead just enjoy the drama of the whole spectacle.
Thus, "Finishing Moves" is a WWE production that will not stay in my collection...
