In this episode, Josh and Chris Lansdell consider what aspects make for a good finishing maneuver before launching into some of their favorites from the eighties. The discussion drifted through finishers in the nineties into the 2000s and eventually to modern day. After highlighting some of the best of modern day, Chris and Josh determined whether finishers in general are in a worse or better place than in the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/09\/20260921ADFREEWOB.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
