K, I love Edge's personality and character, in AND out of the wrestling arena, and he was always top like 6 in my favorite "sports entertainer"'s list.
I'm also a big "signiture move" kinda' guy, someone who looks forward to such things as the stunner, or rock bottom, or even the O so famous LEG DROP!
BUT what is HIS real "finisher"?
Edge for some reason has never really kept a true "finisher" for himself, tho' he is and was always seen to me as Main Event potential.
I know he has the spear. But who doesn't/hasn't used it in the past 10 years? It's truely Goldberg's move, basically Rhyno's, now Lashley's kinda', and still Edge.
I remember back in the day on wrestling games his finisher was "downward spiral" which would actually be a decent move for him, but I don't know if I've ever seen the guy use it. Then the "Edgecution" or whatever, that DDT-like move, and he also had the Submission hold for some time. But now he basically just has "the spear" and I don't like it.
When I think of Edge's BIG moves or spots, I just picture him on top of a ladder holding a tag team belt.
WHat do you think of Edge's "signitures"? And any idea why he stopped using basically all of them from the past?
Edge should go back to the Downward spiral, maybe give it a different name and use that along with the Edgeucation or whatever that submission move was.
Just to clarify some of the finishing moves he has used:
Edgecution-A lifting DDT
Edgecator-A kneeling invertered sharpshooter
Downward Spiral-A Reverse STO(Chris Kanyon called it the Flatliner

Personally, I don't mind Edge using the spear as his finisher...especially when he adds a little hype to it by doing the squat with the handwaves. It'd be a nice touch to have him hit his opponent with the Downward Spiral first...roll back...then pump things up for the spear as his opponent struggles to get to their feet.
Edge has made the spear his own just by the way he performs it. He still performs the Edgecution which he did at Summerslam but it isn't a finisher and they don't call it Edgecution.

what is lashley's finisher? is it the spear? running powerslam? dominator? he's used all of them and I don't think the crowd knows when to cheer for the end
