WWE: 5 Ideas for Braun Strowman’s New Finishing Move

1. The Lariat

Sometimes, simplicity is better than over-complicating things. While a big slam or a heaving Powerbomb can do wonders in making someone look menacing, a single, devastating strike can work just as well. And no wrestling strike attack does that more effectively than the Lariat.

Used by a wide variety of wrestlers, the Lariat has been the go-to finisher for many world champions. In WWE, JBL executed arguably the stiffest lariat seen in a WWE ring with his Clothesline from Hell. Elsewhere in the world, legendary strong style wrestlers like Kenta Kobashi and Stan Hansen delivered truly devastating Lariats that looked like they could cleave someone’s head off.

Now, of these three men, JBL was the biggest, and his Lariat was downright vicious. So imagine how devastating it would be if Strowman used one?

He wouldn’t have to run like JBL did, or spin it in a discus manner like many wrestlers do nowadays. All he’d have to do is swing his arm and wrap it around his opponent’s head and upper chest, and they’d be down in a flash…and they wouldn’t be getting up. Strowman’s enormous, so executing a Lariat would be a simple and believable way for him to keep someone down for way more than a three-count.
