Remember when a breh would nail his finisher with every last ounce of strength and struggle to get the energy to get the cover. Protecting the finisher and the opponent. A bygone era :wow:

and then the shock on their face and our faces if they kicked out...

I'm not sure anyone kicked out of Arn's spinebuster when he was an active competitor. That shyt put down Sting, Macho, and Hogan. Only way that move didn't end a match is if a tag partner broke up the pin. The only guy I ever remember kicking out of it was Taker at WM 18. Which was fukking UNDERTAKER at WRESTLEMANIA, 5 years after Arn had retired. I do recall Hogan immediately Hulking up after one, but not kicking out of the pin directly after one at another time.

They really amped up takers powers wrestlemania 18-21...I went wild when both arn ran out to help flair and when Bob Orton went to help randy...they really planted the seed well that you had to do some WILD shyt to hang with taker at mania.

Everybodys move gets kicked out of. Seth had a great run with the Curb Stomp, but Reigns kicked out once. Pedigree, Tombstone and Jackhammer were pretty protected. I think the Rain Maker was never kicked out of until a recent Wrestlekingdom. Maybe Randy Ortons Punt? Steiner Screwdriver? Other than that the only finishers that are protected is tag team finishers.

I know it ended back in 2010 but there was the longest time, that whenever the Dudleys did the 3D there was no way in fukk you were kicking out.

I'm pretty sure nobody ever kicked out of the Doomsday Device...Meltzer Diver...Grand Amplitude...and nobody better have ever kicked out of the Shaker Heights Spike

I ACTUALLY HAVE A SECRET FINISHER THAT NO ONE HAS EVER KICKED OUT OF THAT I'VE ONLY USED AT SHOWS WHERE CAMERAS WERE CONFISCATED FROM EVERYONE ENTERING THE BUILDING AND ALSO NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN ALLOWED TO WRITE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INCREDIBLY GREAT QUALITY OF THESE MATCHES WOULD PUT THE WHOLE BUSINESS TO SHAME AND ALSO THIS HAPPENED ON THE MOON IN JAPAN IN THE 70'S IN PRIDE WITH UNDERTAKER, BROTHER!

The punt was the legend killer move for quite some time and is all around one of the greatest finishers out there. :whew:

Not many faces are in this thread but D-Bry's running knee had a run too IIRC after the Cena win

Jake's DDT was mega protected back ni the day. Anyone EVER kick out of that?

Before the finisher kickout era, Tombstone definitely was as well.

When Vince got mad that the fans chose Bryan over Reigns two years in...he did the Fast Lane match where Reigns kicked out of everything. Only time the Bryan knee was kicked out of.
