In addition to helping them secure a victory, a wrestler’s finishing move can also serve as an extension of their personality and in-ring style. From Lita‘s moonsault to the Sable Bomb to the Glam Slam to the Widow’s Peak, there were and are many finishing moves as memorable as they are devastating. Which move, then, is the best of them all?
Based on your nominations, we picked the 16 most popular moves to advance to our knock-out bracket tournament. Keep your eyes peeled over the next several weeks as you will be asked to vote between some of women’s wrestling’s best loved finishing moves and help us whittle it down from just 16 to one! (View the brackets below.)
Finals: We’re down to the final match-up: two devastating finishers delivered by in-ring powerhouses. In the semi-finals, Tara‘s Widow’s Peak defeated Molly Holly‘s Molly Go Round and Beth Phoenix‘s Glam Slam bested Athena‘s O-Face. Who will be crowned the tournament’s victor?
It’s a tough choice, but the vote is entirely down to you!

I’m going with the widows peak
at 7:35 pm
Widows Peak. Looks lethal.
at 7:44 pm
Neither for me. The Glam Slam suffers from how exposed and visible the victim is, which makes it all too obvious that she’s landing on her arms The Widow’s Peak is a little better, but again it’s one of those finishers that requires too much obvious ‘help’ from the person on the receiving end.
Of the limited options, the Peak is better. But neither move would even be in my top 10 finishers.

Widow’s Peak Freak!

Widow’s Peak, as Kelly Kelly never reversed it into a pinning combination.
at 10:56 pm
Without a Doubt, Widow’s Peak. This contest was kind of unneccessary imo, The Peak wil always be one of the best Finishers in all of wrestling history not just of the women.
at 11:23 pm
Definitely the widows peak. The move looks more devastating, but you also have to love Tara/Victoria giving thanks to Molly Holly and the Indy wrestler who helped her develop it.

I can’t believe Skyler Moon’s finisher was never mentioned.

Umm…yea Widows Peak!!!
at 3:04 am

at 6:50 am
widows peak…..i like the glam slam too so its a good final….
at 7:53 am
Both good and technical finishers.
Went with the widows pick because its a bit more difficult to execute.

I don’t even have to look at the videos; “Widow’s Peak” for sure. Even if the “O-Face” somehow made it to the finals, the “Widow’s Peak” is FAR better than both finishers. The ONLY finishers that probably would’ve given Tara/Victoria a run for her money were the “Kudo Driver” and the “Voodoo Drop,” and the fact that they lost to the respective finishers they were up against is ridiculous. Not to start a debate, but “Kudo Driver” >>>>>>>> “Litasault,” and “Voodoo Drop” >>>>>>>> “O-Face” point blank.

Whoever voted for Glam Slam over O-Face NEEDS to be legally shot in the arm with a bean bag shotgun.
