What's different about that than WWE spamming finishers?

Just legitimately curious what the subtleties are.
The dif is the audience. Here finishers are magic. You get hit and then you die for 3 seconds. The bell revives you and you live again. In puro the moves are just moves. Like a boxer having an effective left hook. He wins a lot of fights with it but he lands plenty along the way. Or maybe it only takes one. In puro he last move doesnt beat you, every move along the way beats you. The last move is just the last move.

One is steeped in fantasy, the other in reality.

Both are fine though, its all about what the audience buys into.
