Good call on the Power and Glory finisher, loved that move. Here they decimate some jobber with it.

Pretty boring answer but for me it’s gotta be the Stone Cold Stunner.

Have always been a fan of the stun gun.

Not even a gif of Austin using it as his finisher in WCW?

Although I was aware that he used it as a finisher in WCW, I've seen very very little of his work as Stunning Steve. There's this whole huge gap in my watching resume where I haven't seen most WCW/NWA before ~1995 except for the epic matches that people have pimped as being must-watch.

DDT for me. Simple and brutal (when done well).

Years ago I debated doing a "build a wrestler's move-set" draft. Everyone would get the basic stuff, of course. I think that kind of draft would be fascinating.

I was a huge DDT mark when it was Jake's finisher and it was a head plant style landing for the victim. The type of move that legit put wrestlers out of action with a concussion for months. Ricky Steamboat taking it on the concrete has to be the GOAT DDT

Once people figured out how to use flippy momentum to take the impact and it became a transition move the move lost its appeal for me but I cant blame any wrestler for taking it like that

When Rico ran up AJ last night... If he can figure out how to add a punch or kick on the way down, best finisher ever.

Least favorite: Undertaker old school

Just seemed insanely pointless. Doing it from the turnbuckle would have the same force and it tilted me that hardly anyone ever just pulled him off the rope b/c it would be so easy to do so.

If we’re talking moves by one specific guy, then for me it was Savage’s top rope elbow. I don’t think anyone ever delivered a move as well as Savage did that elbow. The pose, the height, the gracefulness, everything.

Another thing about Savage's truly iconic flying elbow is just what a garbage move it looks like when almost anyone else does it (and yes I'm thinking about CM Punk when I say that, but really only because he drew extra attention to it by plainly making it a Savage tribute). Shawn Michaels is the only other one I can think of who threw a very decent-looking flying elbow, at least of that variety. Obviously Bret Hart's measured elbow off the second rope was well-executed also, but it feels like it's a different move.

Bret's was great but I wouldn't put that as nearly the same move esp since it was a second rope move.

If we count Bret I gotta mention Kairi

Okada's elbow isn't bad. Not in the same class as Savage, though. Savage just made it look so easy.

For the record, this was actually a bad botch by Warrior because he let go of his grip behind Rude's back. Rude had no choice but to do what he did to protect Warrior's neck.

I think Velveteen Dream does a pretty decent elbow drop.

And it's not really the same style, but Kairi's elbow drop looks great.

I don't think I've ever popped harder for a single move than I popped the first time I saw this:

Here's another move I love, and no one (even Kobashi) has ever used it frequently. I think it would make a great finisher for someone:

Kairi Sane's flying elbow is fantastic. So is Velveteen Dream's, although I like his less.

I didn't post that one because most people on this forum are familiar.
