Can't have one without the other.
Whiplash has to have the record for the worst "character coolness to finisher coolness" ratio in the history of the game. A great drawing (the first COTG character I ever saw in PWI, in fact), a cool mechanic for the "Backside Beheading" (I'm a sucker for a good clothesline)...and a finisher involving pulling on his opponent's thumb. Even if it was "nearly ready to break off," as the 2091 booklet said...come ON.
Zouave has the worst "roll" finisher in history...a 1 or a 2?? Aspin Northstar's FLASH OF BRILLIANCE is actually less likely to hit, but when he does, it's lights out (er...so to speak). Longevity is a factor working against him, however.
Astro Turk and Black Hole Bart were unable to muster anything above a (0) rating...the worst-rated tag finisher in history.
Sam is a legend, but running at a guy while pretending to hold a flagpole?? Actually, Sam never really was that great with finishers. Even the atomic drop was pretty much done as a match-ender by 1986 when the game first came out.
The FREEDOM FLYER...a freaking back body drop for a finisher? Is it any wonder that no team ever wanted to sign the Young Allies?
If you've never thought about pie one way or the other, here is your chance to say so.
