    Seeing the breakups happen so often over the weekend, I was trying to think what are some instances where a finisher was hit on someone in a multi person match and they had to either kick out or the pinner had to break the pin themselves due to someone missing their cue to break up the pin?

    I remember seeing it happen with a finisher that hadn't or rarely been kicked out of before but I can't remember the match.

    Sid kicked out of Hogans legdrop at WM 8 because Papa Shango missed his run in spot.

    Watched Hogan v Warrior from wm6 last night. Woeful stuff altogether.

    One of my major gripes with WWE since it's resurgence in popularity, nearly every single major feud or main event is littered with run-ins and interference. It's very rare they allow any of their big names to lose cleanly anymore.

    Another issue I have every champion on both shows bar Tiffy is a heel

    What are some moves that may have been ruined from being overdone?

    Like would Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music be as believable as a finisher these days? Was just thinking that after seeing the Young Bucks deliver loads of double superkicks to Ospreay at All In and then seeing the Usos doing them as well.

    I guess any of Jey's moves counts with his spear, superkick or splash. I'm still not sure which of his moves is meant to be a finisher.

    I guess depends on who does it. Like it's safe to say Bron's spear is believable a finisher

    I think the last time I saw this question asked, someone made the point about Shawn Michaels "tuning up the band", which made his Sweet Chin Music more potent than anyone else's Super-Kick. In kayfabe it works! 😃

    Michaels just made it look better, with the extension and effort he put into it. He made it look like he was trying to take someone's head off with it.

    Compared to the half-arsed thigh slappers…

    Damn, the Sweet Chin Music to Flair is actually crazy flexibility
