The "TOP 50" Finishing Moves... In Order?

**Curd** · 06-21-2012, 04:08 AM

When I first read WWE's list of the top 50 finishers used by WWE / WCW Superstars, I had to believe the list was un-ordered, that the "top 50" were more or less equal within that qualification band. However, it seems that WWE really did rank Lita's Moonsault as "better" than Sting's Scorpion [Death]Lock, JBL's Clothesline [from Hell], Mankind's Mandible Claw, Bam Bam Bigelow's much heavier (and therefore more impactful) Moonsault, and even the Dudley Boys' 3D. It's really jumping the shark when a mere backflip into a splash is rated as "better" than a two-person manuever which has [kayfabe] broken wrestler's necks. Would someone explain WWE's logic on this?
