It's very rare when I say these two words... You're Wrong. Much respect to you, so please don't misunderstand, but it's very easy to popularize a move that has already been popularized. Beniot and the rock use The Sharp Shooter. RVD, Eddie and Val Venis all use a splash for their finisher much like Superfly. Steve Austin was able to use the Lou Thez Press, and if you don't know where the name came from then stab yourself in the eye. Edge and Rhyno both took a page out of the book of the Goldberg hand book when they use the spear. The Lion Tamer can be traced to the Goldust Trio, while Kurt was able to use Shamrock's ankle lock.

It's all a matter of how it looks.

Beniot, The Rock, Bret Hart and Sting all have their own twist on the Sharp Shooter/Death Lock. From how high they are off the ground, to how they hold the victims feet. It makes that move their own.
Eddie and Val both have their own pose right before their splash, while RVD sells his splash to make it the Five Star.
Lou Thez pinned people with his move, while SCSA punches them.
Edge and Rhyno, while are both more talented than Goldberg, use the move that in the eyes of many people Goldberg made famous. Much like the Sharp Shooter, it's all a matter of how the attacker sells it... I'm just waiting for someone to do a summersault after diving into the “victim’s” rib cage.
I believe if it weren't for Rick Martel, the Lion Tamer wouldn't be here. Just looking at Martel and Jericho... Do I really need to say "it's all a matter of how the attacker does it" again?
I don't recall anyone doing the ankle lock before Shamrock. Seeing him "snap" and twisting someone's ankle in ways it wasn't meant to be twisted was pretty brutal. Here we have "The Most Dangerous Man Alive" grabbing something and twisting it in a way that it should be twisted... then an Olympic gold medal winner doing the same thing... You can't do lot with the ankle lock, but hey, Shamrock isn't in the lime light, so why not use a move that is already over?

DDP isn't in the right now, so we won’t see The Diamond Cutter coming anytime soon.... I'm not saying that gives Randy Orton every right to steal his move, but it's how it's done. While DDP got it over as something you never see coming, Randy seems to put a little more swing into it. That's why I firmly believe that with a little more hype Orton can popularize the RKO, which DDP already got over.
