It's pretty. It's much like Jeff Hardy's "Swanton Bomb" in that the high angle makes it especially appealing. Though Hardy almost never fucks his up. But to be honest, I've never seen Kidman fuck up a Shooting Star either.

I do believe that Kidman almost killed Chavo Guerrero with one.

I believe that Billy Kidman is actually a damn fine wrestler, though. I've found myself really, really enjoying his work. He knows what he is doing (in general), and his matches in the WWE are often a lot of fun. See: his cruiserweight stuff, his tag team matches with Rey Mysterio against The World's Greatest Tag Team and his shit with Paul London.

I'd rather see Billy Kidman re-signed to an on-screen WWE role, though. The man would be great for a cruiserweight division relaunch. They need someone in there who has been a Cruiserweight Champion before. As much as I love Funaki and Nunzio, they are not really credible enough. Guys like Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Gregory Helms, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jamie Noble and to a certain extent, Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore, have all grown beyond the division, and should be allowed to keep going in their main event, tag team and miscellaneous mid-card roles. Billy Kidman would be a great former Cruiserweight Champion to revive the divison. Matt Sydal would be a damn fine inclusion in it.
