WWE Finishers that Really, Really Need to Go - Part One.

WrestleMania 31...
WWE finishers can be a thing of beauty - sometimes.

#2. Dana Brooke - Samoan Driver

WWE Live In Lille
The Samoan Driver isn't working Dana; remove it.

Not to be confused with the Michinoku Driver, a Samoan Driver starts from the fireman's carry. Performed correctly the move has a nice snap and certainly looks like it could actually hurt an opponent.

Dana Brooke has been with WWE for some time now. Whilst admittedly she may not be the best talker or the best in-ring performer, it was clear for all to see that she was improving with WWE giving her the chance to share the ring with the likes of Bayley and Sasha Banks. She even got a huge pop when she finally snapped, slapping her "mentor" Charlotte Flair on RAW. Unfortunately, nothing came of that and, now, she is lost within Titus Worldwide, hardly wrestling a single match.

If and when WWE decides they want her to wrestle again, they need to take away her Samoan Driver. Dana actually managed to pull off the move pretty well back in NXT, but that was before she gained extra muscle. Although you cannot deny her athletic ability, her Samoan Driver looks awkward, clunky and her opponents almost always hit the mat in a weird, unnatural sort of way. Perhaps a submission finisher would better suit Dana, allowing her to put her strength to better use?
