5 worst names for finishers in wrestling history

#3. Swing Thing - Johnny Swinger

Johnny Swinger is now back in Impact Wrestling

A journeyman wrestler who has had three separate stints in WCW, two stints in WWE and TNA and another one in ECW, Johnny Swinger never really came close to the main event scene in any of those companies. Having friends in TNA management has led to Swinger getting another run there presently albeit in a comedy avatar - 14 years past his initial run with Simon Diamond as a tag team champion.

While he is still in great shape at 45 years old, Swinger's old finisher name might be the prime example for how unimaginative a person can get. Swinger's finishing move was a cobra clutch leg sweep - something that Ted DiBiase Jr also used in the WWE in the 2010's. While it is a middle of the road finisher, it was certainly downgraded by giving the name 'The Swing Thing'.

It is hard to fathom how Swinger could have won matches with the devastating 'Swing Thing' finisher. He later used the 'Swinger Neck breaker' as an alternative finishing move.
