A famous retired footballer looks to cross over to professional wrestling. He already has the look and the physicality that makes him made for the ring. What is the move you give him as a finisher? Naturally, you give him the spear.

While the Spear has been used as a finisher by Superstars like Edge, Rhyno and Roman Reigns, Goldberg was one of the best exponents of the spear. Driving his shoulder through his opponent's midriff, as opposed to Edge who seemed to swing around his opponents, giving the impression that it was less of a spear and more of a strong one armed hug.

Goldberg also combined his vicious spear with the Jackhammer and the powerful combination of the two allowed Goldberg to rack up an impressive streak of 173 wins in a row during his tenure at WCW, which included him winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Goldberg also brought the Spear/Jackhammer finisher when he crossed to WWE, the move brought him to win World Heavyweight Championship in his first run and the Universal Title in his second run.
