I hear you, but in this case it's to emphasize the fact that it's Brock Lesnar.
Let's have a discussion: Repeated finishers aka "Finisher Spamming" in big matches.

Exactly, if Lesnar cant get an easy fight against a much older, slower Undertaker. He shouldnt be just dusting off Sheamus signatures/finishers.
Certain guys on the roster just shouldnt have the same suplex city/no sold finishers deal. Imo
This was a house show man!!! I think at this point some of you will complain no matter what wwe does
As if the same thing doesnt happen on PPVs. Because its a house show Sheamus should look like a push over?

Didn't that trend start in Japan tho?

I've always found teasing the finisher multiple times over the course of the match to be way more effective. It makes the finisher have a much larger impact once it finally lands.
Yes? House shows are about sending the crowd home happy, they're not supposed to make sense.
When reigns kicked out of sheamus' white noise from the top rope. It's bad enough for a regular one to have no effect....but from the top rope? How does sheamus win? White noise from a ladder or cage is the only way that move will work.

In Japan, it makes more sense cause theyre all about fighting spirit and shyt like that
it's a different kind of wrestling too

Yeah, and a lot New Japan matches center around familiarity between wrestlers and unique counters. They feature tons of callbacks and subversions of past encounters.

If it's Raw/Smackdown then a finisher should almost ALWAYS finish the match. They should put more into reversals/counters than into 2.8 second kickouts.
Give us the odd kick out at PPV, but not as many as today... first round of finishers and you don't even expect the ref to get the three count anymore. "Nah, he's gonna need to hit him with at least another Tombstone and a couple of chokeslams yet..."
RKO out of nowhere is actually the rare exception.

I think it was JR (?) or maybe Wade Keller... idk some dude on a podcast...
But he talked about how the titles had built in value/prestige ("equity") from being defended kayfabe for so many years, but after a while if you abuse that prestige and don't respect it... it loses it's meaning.
Which we all saw the titles lose their meaning and prestige.
Now modern day wrassling companies are doing the same thing to the wrestling finisher... the finishing move has prestige and value from so many great workers establishing the concept of a finishing move, but little by little that shyt is gonna erode and it's not gonna mean anything even to a typical mark kid.
Same way everyone on TSC got sick of suicide dives and they're meaningless now.
