Preferred Signatures and Finishers for CAW

[TheMadleR]

Growing up when making CAW's I always wanted my CAW to have a Submission hold, Top Rope Move and a devastating Grapple.

These are the signatures and finishers I chose for my CAW who is a 6'4" 236lb Wrestler.

#1 Finisher - Top Rope Burning Hammer
#2 Finisher - Lasso From El Paso

#1 Signature - Top Rope Elbow Drop
#2 Signature - Steiner Screwdriver

I really wanted to do the Houston Hangover but I don't like the way the animation looks in the game and I prefer the elbow drop over a The Last dance. Had a tough time selecting between the Lasso and the Texas Cloverleaf. Always loved the Steiner Screwdriver. It's devastating. The Burning Hammer is a new one for me to use this year but I love the version from the Top Rope it's deadly and beautiful.

What are your choices?

Tell me about it, it looks like someone stop midway through a 450 and then decided to do a Leg Drop

Exactly, it's pretty annoying. They should have made the flip a more long drawn out animation instead of the quick flip stopped suddenly mid flight.

My go-to CAW, Derek Frost, has a finisher called the Frost Bite. It's a flatliner/downward spiral. Sometimes I use the Complete Shot or a variation thereof, depending on what the best animation is in the game of the year. The character is very straightforward, no flash or unnecessary movements needed.

For a signature, I typically go with a cutter variant and an STF. Quick, easy to apply impact signature (been a fan since the Diamond Cutter) and one of my favorite submission holds. Lately, the STF animations are all too Cena-fied for me, so I've switched to a Texas Cloverleaf this year.

I remember from like Smackdown vs Raw 2011 and before had an awesome animation.

I've always loved the Texas Cloverleaf, just decided to switch it up a lil this year and went with Lasso from El Paso. Love the flatliner, the cutters have some good animations this year. I wish they would bring back create a move.

I'll have to check those out, the oldest wrestling game I have that's not on N64 is WWF legends on Xbox, but I prefer wwe all-stars. The over the top arcade feel to it is perfect for wrestling games in my opinion. They just need to add to the roster.

My finishers are:
My favorite finisher in the game, the Fireman's Carry Overhead Kick (used also by TJ Perkins/Manic/Suicide)
And my favorite submission maneuver, the Cloverleaf

Signatures:
Half Nelson Choke Suplex (used by William Regal, looks devastating in the game, just look at the animation, it should be illegal lol)
And one of my new favorites, the Vertical Powerbomb (a new move, wish it had a pin combo)
