This forums hate on the double stomp is so bizarre to me. It's a move where a full grown man jumps high into the air and drives both feet into a person's chest and people act like this wouldn't hurt them somehow. This may be the forum with the biggest amounts of badasses posting here.

It's not like it's alone either Sasha does a double kneed corner spot, Del Rio does almost the same spot from a tree of woe, I'm sure Cesaro has done the stomp a few time when he was paired with Swagger.

At least it's not another fireman carry finisher.

No one is saying it doesn't hurt. Must people are saying it probably hurts a ton.

I think the issue is that it's a unique move that we're not used to seeing. It sits in a weird place in kayfabe moves.

Splashes like the Red Arrow, Frog Splash, Air Enzo, all seem legit. There's a big slam sound, the guy does a bit of a stomach bend sell, that's 3. All very effective.

There's no big sound on the stomp. It's on the chest, so you can't do the big stomach sell. It doesn't have a lot of the normal big-move tells that were used to seeing.

Compare it to Del Rio's stomp, where he also comes off the top, but it's turned into a curb stomp/slam type thing. That thing looks like murder (probably feels like it too).

I like the stomp, but I definitely feel its bit weird, like it's missing something as a finish.

The difference is that Sasha and Del Rio's spots don't look like poo poo.

Demon Finn should keep the Coup de Grace as his finish, while nice Finn should do one hundred pile drivers onto tacks instead.

Speak for yourself. I think the Sasha spot looks like poo poo. It looks like she gently bumps into them and they go crashing into the mat.

You bunch of spot marks.

It's a move that literally anyone could do. It's just jumping on a guy. I could do it, assuming I don't fall off while climbing the turnbuckle. Wrestling finishers should look super cool but not actually injure anyone, not look really easy to do but hurt really bad. Whether it hurts irl is a bad metric to apply to wrestling, unless you love dick punch finishers.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I can kick a guy in the gut, turn around, and then do a Stunner on him. I can also hook a guy's arms and plant him in a DDT or a Pedigree, as long as he's willing to help out like everyone else does. Hell, if I get high enough, maybe I can do a Frog Splash or two. That argument is worthless.

Del Rio's also only looks good because he doesn't give a poo poo about whether he injures his opponent and just double stomps their fuckin face half the time

...You're a sadist, aren't you? You want someone's ribs to be literally crushed, since a fat man can't control his weight distribution well enough to avoid causing serious injury.

I mean, I'm fine with them, I can buy it finishing a match no problem and most of the time it looks okay in my eyes. It's even somewhat fitting of a non-nonsense cruiserweight type, just stomp the poo poo outta your opponent (literally) instead of doing rope-walk moonsaults or whatever. To be completely honest with you, I like it better than Owens' pop-up powerbomb in terms of "recent NXT Champion finishers".

Of course there's been a fat guy who does double-stomps and he was GREAT at them. Also the rumors of him doing the Benoit murders make him very sad.

If he rolled forward, that would again put all the pressure on his opponent and he would not absorb it himself. Wrestling is all about protecting the other person in the ring, not trying to make yourself look good over everything else.

Yeah, the great Del Rio move, where his opponent has to go to do a turnbuckle move even if they never do, so he can put them in the tree of woe so they can then lift themselves up so he can do a lovely stomp on them.


That's way better than knocking a guy down and jumping on him.

Also just give him back Bloody Sunday. It's a perfectly serviceable finisher.

Or it could just look like poo poo.

Like Low-Ki's double stomp looks absolutely fine to me, Balors has literally never looked good to me at all and always makes him look like a fanny to me. Which is a shame as I think he's legitimately cool and good in pretty much every other respect.

Well other than the leather dreadlocks.

The best finisher is the KO punch because punches end fights all the time and even a normal man's fist will knock you out, much less a GIANT'S fist
