Can The Walking Dead Reboots Find Their Way Back to Greatness?
This post contains spoilers for Season 9 of The Walking Dead and Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead.
Season 9 of The Walking Dead said goodbye to Rick Grimes - sending him off in a helicopter for a three-movie adventure - and Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead killed off Madison Clark, which leaves us with some big questions about how these shows will continue without the characters who served as our entry point into the zombie apocalypse. With recent tone and perspective shifts on both shows, it definitely feels like The Walking Dead universe is evolving.

Most Devastating Finishing Moves in WWE History
"It's all over but the screaming!" as Gorilla Monsoon used to shout from the announce table. Or "Stick a fork in him, he's done!" as the ref counted 1-2-3, with certainty. It signaled the absolute end of the match. The hero or villain had landed their textbook, trademark, signature special move and the match was a forgone conclusion. Their foe? Obliterated. Knocked cold. Trampled by sheer power and precision.
Flash-forward decades later, from the heyday of Monsoon and co-commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and a WWE Superstar's finisher doesn't always guarantee a win, as the trend is to have opponents kick out of what used to be killer maneuvers, especially during important matches on super-hyped cards. But if you grade on a curve you can still figure out which of today's finishers are the most revered. They may have to be used twice sometimes, but they'll still get the job done.
