5 WWE Finishers that lost its effect

#2. Edgecution - Edge

Edge has used a number of finishing moves throughout his career

Edge was one of the first wrestlers in North America to popularise the Spear as a finishing move. While it is the most iconic move associated with Edge, it is also interesting to note that Edge has used at least three more finishers during his career.

His first notable finishing move was the Unprettier, which was used frequently during his tag team days with Christian. Christian would eventually use it as his finisher after the duo split up, with Edge progressing to the Spear. While the Unprettier wasn't really protected as a strong finisher, the Edgecution was.

Edgecution was Edge's version of the lifting DDT, which looked devastating and was truly worthy of being a finisher. Edge used the Edgecution alongside the Spear as his primary moves in 2002 before an injury saw him miss most of 2003.

When he returned in 2004, Edge hardly used the Edgecution. Instead, he focussed on the Spear which was the better move to build anticipation before its delivery. The rare occasions that Edge did use the move, JR called it as an 'elevated DDT' on commentary, completely rendering the Edgecution worthless.

Additionally, Edge also pulled out a submission move called the Edgecator in 2004, which was basically an inverted sharp shooter. It didn't stick either, with the Spear being his weapon of choice, so much so that his entire Wrestlemania 26 World Heavyweight title feud with Chris Jericho was based on the move.
