1.0 Introduction

Hello, and welcome to another one of my wonderful WWF Smackdown guides! 
This time, I have decided to do a finishing move guide for the game. In 
the game, I will explain how to do each finishing move in terms of where 
you must be in relation to your opponent, as well as my description of 
the move and my overall rating of the finishing move. This guide is all 
but finished now, but if you have any questions or comments please send 
them to the e-mail address above. Thanks, and enjoy my finishing move 
guide for WWF Smackdown!           


-------------------------
2.0 Finishing Move Guide
--------------------------------------

-----------
Al Snow
-------
Finishing Move Name: Snow Plow
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: Al Snow goes for a vertical suplex then crushes 
the opponent with a facebuster. One of my favorite finishing moves in 
the game, the Snow Plow is really quite a dangerous move.

--------------
Big Boss Man
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Boss Man Slam
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 3
Description of the Move: This finishing move is pretty stupid, in my 
opinion. I have seen the Big Show do the same exact move a lot harder, 
and use it as a setup. The Boss Man uses his as a finisher. I could 
probably kick out of this move.

--------------
Big Show
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Show Stopper Chokeslam
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 7
Description of the Move: It is just another normal chokeslam basically, 
but the cool thing about this move is the fact that the Big Show 
actually pauses for a few seconds, choking the opponent and setting him 
up for the huge landing. Better than the average chokeslam.

--------------
Bradshaw
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Clothesline from Hell
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: On TV this move is probably the one that looks 
like it hurts a lot most. In WWF Smackdown, the move really goes by too 
quickly to be noticed, but it does get the job done on the opponent.

---------------------
Buh Buh Ray Dudley
---------------------
Finishing Move Name: Jackknife Powerbomb
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 5
Description of the Move: No, the 3D is not in the game, and yes, the 
Jackknife Powerbomb is the same move that Kevin Nash uses. The finisher 
is okay, but I would have loved to see the true Dudley Boyz finisher.

--------------
Chris Jericho
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Double Powerbomb
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: Again, the Walls of Jericho would have been a 
cool addition to the game, but it is really no huge loss because Jericho 
uses this move a lot too (though not as much as he used to)

--------------
Christian
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Impaler
Posistion to Do the Move: From Behind
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: I love this move, although it doesnt look like 
it hurts that much. Basically, Christian flips the opponent around then 
slams him to the ground with a facebuster. It really looks cool, and is 
one of my favorite finishing moves.

--------------
Chyna
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Pedigree
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: Well, she doesnt use this move on TV anymore, 
but the Pedigree is still my favorite finishing move in the WWF, even if 
I do prefer the HHH version more. 

-----
Debra
-----
Finishing Move Name: DDT
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 2
Description of the Move: Okay, this finishing move really sucks, and I 
have seen about 20 wrestlers use this move before. And furthermore, 
Debra is weaker than the other wrestlers. So this move wouldnt really 
hurt at all.

--------------
D'Lo Brown
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Lo Down
Posistion to Do the Move: Top Rope
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 7
Description of the Move: Okay, this finishing move on television looks 
really cool. But in the game something seems missing due to the lack of 
animation. It just moves too fast for my liking, just like all the other 
off the top rope moves in the game.

--------------
D-Von Dudley
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Jackknife Powerbomb
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 5
Description of the Move: No, the 3D is not in the game, and yes, the 
Jackknife Powerbomb is the same move that Kevin Nash uses. The finisher 
is okay, but I would have loved to see the true Dudley Boyz finisher.

-------
Edge
-------
Finishing Move Name: Downward Spiral
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 3
Description of the Move: Edge used to be my favorite wrestler, the thing 
I hated most about him was this stupid finisher. Thankfully he uses the 
spear as a finishing move now. I think the Downward Spiral hurts Edge 
more than it hurts the opponent.

-------
Faarooq
-------
Finishing Move Name: Dominator
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: Faarooq is one nasty son of a gun. And this 
move looks like it could seriously kill some one. Faarooq picks up the 
opponent then slams him to the ground HARD. One of my favorite finishers 
in WWF Smackdown.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Gangrel*
*Gangrel is trademark of White Wolf, Inc. All rights reserved.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Finishing Move Name: Inverted DDT
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 6
Description of the Move: I really dont like these DDTs that they change 
a tad bit then make it seem like a whole new move. But Gangrels version 
of the DDT is okay, but still, it is a DDT.

--------------
Godfather
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Pimp Drop
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: Come get on the ho train with this fantastic 
finishing move! Godfather picks his opponent up and throws his opponent 
around his shoulders. Then he twirls the opponent around and slams him 
to the ground hard! I love this move!

--------------
Hardcore Holly
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Falcon Arrow
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: Another fantastic finishing move from an 
underrated wrestler. Now called the Holycaust, Holly picks up the 
opponent into a vertical suplex, then slams him to the ground with a 
huge facebuster!

--------------
Jeff Hardy
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Senton Bomb
Posistion to Do the Move: Off the Top Rope
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: The Senton Bomb is my second favorite finisher 
(behind the Pedigree) on the real television WWF, but it just doesnt 
look as good on WWF Smackdown. Still, you got to love the athleticism 
that Jeff Hardy shows while doing this incredible move off the top rope.

-------
Kane
-------
Finishing Move Name: Chokeslam 
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 4
Description of the Move: Yes, that is it, the Chokeslam. Not the Fiery 
Tombs of Doom Chokeslam, just the chokeslam. And wheres the Tombstone 
Piledriver? Im disappointed, THQ!

--------------
Ken Shamrock
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Shamrock Anklelock
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: If I am not mistaken, this is one of only two 
submission finishers in the entire game. And I would not want to be put 
in this move by Shamrock, that is for sure!

-------
Mankind
-------
Finishing Move Name: Mandible Claw
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 6
Description of the Move: Yes, this move is cool, but he doesnt put Soko 
on his hand before doing the move, so the Mandible Claw loses some of 
its mystique.

--------------
Mark Henry
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Bearhug
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 3
Description of the Move: I really dont like Mark Henry, and this 
finishing move is a dud too. All he areally does is picks up the 
opponent and hugs them. And trust me, it hurts!

--------------
Matt Hardy
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Northern Lights Suplex
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 5
Description of the Move: I have no problems with this finishing move, 
althought THQ made another bad mistake by not including the twist of 
fate, which is one of the cooler finishing moves in the WWF today.

---------------------
"Mr. Ass" Billy Gunn
---------------------
Finishing Move Name: Fame Asser
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: I love this move, even if it is just a 
glorified version of the Jaw Dropper. I like it when he points up in the 
air then does the move. One of my favorite moves in the game.

--------------
Paul Bearer
--------------
Finishing Move Name: DDT
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 2
Description of the Move: Yeah, like this move really hurts. Like I said 
before, it is just a DDT. So what is the point of the move itself? I 
mean, I hate the DDT as a finisher.

--------------
Road Dogg
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Pumphandle Slam
Posistion to Do the Move: From Behind
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 4
Description of the Move: This move is okay, and I wish that Test would 
have had this as a finisher. Still, I dont like the move that much, 
although I do admit is is better than the Shake Rattle and Roll

--------------
The Rock
--------------
Finishing Move Name: The Peoples Elbow
Posistion to Do the Move: On the Mat
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: yeah, the move in WWF Smackdown does look 
pretty cool, but I definitely like the Rock Bottom as a finishing move 
better. Mainly because this is just a friggin elbow.

--------------
Shane McMahon
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Diving Elbow
Posistion to Do the Move: Off the Top Rope
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: Yeah, a diving elbow off the top rope, and it 
actually looks somewhat realistic. Heres another move I wish Test would 
have had in this game.

--------------
Steve Blackman
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Fishermans Suplex
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 3
Description of the Move: Yeah, like this finishing move REALLY looks 
like it hurts. And the move looks really bad in the game too. I would 
have preferred the whack the opponent with a kendo stick finisher 
better.

----------------------------
Stone Cold Steve Austin
----------------------------
Finishing Move Name: Stone Cold Stunner
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: If you have never heard of or seen this move, 
what planet are you from? The second most recognizable finisher, only 
behind the Peoples Elbow.

-------
Test
-------
Finishing Move Name: Diving Powerbomb
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10):
Description of the Move: Like I have mentioned already, I would have 
much rather seen the Pumphandle Slam or Test Elbow then this wussy 
powerbomb finisher.

-------
Tori
-------
Finishing Move Name: Tori Suplex
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 7
Description of the Move: Oh my gosh, a womens finisher that actually is 
decent? Toris version of the suplex is actually the best version of the 
suplex in WWF Smackdown.

--------------
Triple H
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Pedogree
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 10
Description of the Move: The best finisher in The Game, Triple H stuns 
the opponent with this glorified facebuster. And the move looks really 
cool too, even if it doesnt have as much power as I would have liked to 
see.

--------------
The Undertaker
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Tombstone Piledriver
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 9
Description of the Move: I love this move too, and I hope the Undertaker 
will use this move again now that he is back on television! At least the 
move is in the game, because Kane doesnt use it.

--------------
Val Venis
--------------
Finishing Move Name: The Money Shot
Posistion to Do the Move: Off the Top Rope
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 8
Description of the Move: Another great off the top rope move that 
doesnt look great when translated to a video game.

--------------
Vince McMahon
--------------
Finishing Move Name: Stunner
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10):
Description of the Move: Basically a one handed Stone Cold Stunner. I 
guess Vince uses this move because of the big rivalry that Stone Cold 
and Mr McMahon have had on WWF television.

-------
X-Pac
-------
Finishing Move Name: X-Factor
Posistion to Do the Move: In Front
My Rating of the Move (1-10): 10
Description of the Move: The second, and final, finisher that gets a 
10/10 from me, mainly because I love the look and strength of the move.
