The move just needs to look like it is devestating. The problem with a lot of finishers is that they're less devestating than half the moveset. HHH's spinebuster is just a mid-match spot move, and it's better than half the roster's finishers.

It's a common move, but powerbombs are always a safe bet if they're innovated a little. I always loved the ride, and I think the Jacknife is one of the coolest looking finishers ever. I'm not gonna go crazy over the Batistabomb, but it works much better than an FU, or Edge's spear.

I love Edge to death, but the spear really doesn't work for me. I like it as a move, but not as a finisher. He just doesn't have the force behind it that Goldberg or Rhyno do.
The twist of fate is a stupid fuckin neck breaker, even though I like the guys delivering it.
Jericho should stick to the liontamer, the codebreaker never really did much for me and I don't think it did for the crowd either.
All in all, most of the finishers in WWE today suck. The best ones are the old faithfuls: pedigree and sweet chin music. I wonder why that is...
