The resume of the worst finisher ever: The FU

[Guest It wasnt my WOOO]

The FU in all its crappy glory is now been turned into a finisher that no-one is allowed to kick out of. Basically its a rubbish version of a death valley driver or a modified samoan drop. But my point is many people have been pinned after cena has hit them with this move and i am trying to find out how many great superstars have had to job to cena and the worst finisher EVER:

 

 

Shawn Michaels-Taboo Tuesday 2005

 

JBL-Wresemania 21

Kurt Angle-No way out 2005

 

The list goes on feel free to add your own

 

EDIT: Mark TT spoilers at least until Friday please.

Sorry we didn't catch this earlier.

No they did face later on in a feud, Cena winning a few with undertaker winning a few, but this was before he turned into the Phenom Undertaker i believe.

[Guest Brad]

RVD

Booker T

 

I don't remember RVD, when was this?

[Guest big pau hoolinator]

It was probably for the US Title maybe at GAB 2004 ?

 

EDIT: Scratch that..he pinned RVD with a rollup then

[Guest Kanenite]

Undertaker?

Yes, he did beat The Undertaker, I don't know if it was with the FU. But once when they faced in the Smackdown Semi-Finals for the Number One Contender title to face Brock at Backlash 2003.

I have enver been a fan of the FU but I must say i'm glad Cena uses it... i'd hate to see him try a more complex move :P

How is the FU different to a death valley driver?

 

Is it just me? :help

 

pinmepayme.

[Guest Anime Otaku]

I think he's started to do it with a sit out which looks better.

The DVD emphasizes impact on the neck in kayfabe, and wrestlers take the bumb on their shoulders.

 

The FU is simply an elevated Firemans carry that he falls to his knees with, some times...

The Protoplex was a great move (until he has recently destroyed it).

[Fidel Cashflow 130]

He did it once at Mania and it was indeed a great improvement. I think he did it as some "special" move. Hence, he went back to jobbing out people with the worst finisher in the business.

Technically, the person who is performing the move has different motions.

 

With the "sloppy" FU, all Cena does is drop his opponent down from his shoulders.

 

With the current "kneel out" FU, Cena turns towards his opponent as he performs the move, so he almost ends up with their head between his knees.

 

With the Death Valley Driver, the person performing the move actually drops to the side while still holding onto their opponent, so it looks like they're dropping them on their head and shoulders more.

It's subtle, but the FU impact is more onto the back than on the head/neck.

[Guest Kaedon]

Finishers worse than the F-U

 

 

The Canadian Destroyer

The SSP or the 450 done by Kidman or London because they both become knee drops as opposed to splashes.

Carlito has a friggin DDT and no one cares.

HBK's finisher used to be used mid match in the 80 and early 90s, no one says anything

 

 

Once again, people needlessly bitching about Cena.

[Guest big pau hoolinator]

the worm and peoples elbow are also worse.

I'd add Hogan's leg drop, to that.
