Yeah, this coming from a guy who thinks the Cranium Crush and Hogan's leg drop are two of the best finishers ever.

[faust34]

Best:
Swanton-when Jeff first did it before he crippled his body.
Stunner on Rock -Savior mentioned this. Rock would fly out of the ring from it, it always made me laugh.
Figure four -When Ric used it, you always stood and cheered.
Sharpshooter
Unpretter -I have no idea how they don't smash their faces in.
Rhyno's old turnbuckle/off the apron DDT
Awesome bomb
Old School 3D -before we got this watered down crap.
Diamond cutter
Walls of Jericho-Old school version where Jericho kneed you in the head
Angle slam

Worst:
Clothesline from hell
Any of Hardcore Holly's
Maven's Dropkick -It's only a damn dropkick!
Steph's slap
The pedigree -It's like being piledriven by some guy's nuts
Swol-The heart punch
Stink Face-it was funny for a week like 4 years ago.
Batista tiger bomb- could it be more vanilla?

When you think about it, the M. Claw really lost its effect when Foley became a face. He wouldn't make those hysterical, beserk, squealing sounds anymore. I mean if someone jabs their bare hand (he doesn't wear the protector anymore) in your mouth, you bite the bastard. He should have just stuck with the double underhook.

[CanAmConnection]

I agree with a lot of folks here saying that the Widow's Peak and the Unprettier are just nasty... love 'em. Always was a fan of the Rude Awakening as well.


As far as worst, I'll throw out a few from the past that weren't mentioned. Honky Tonk Man's "Shake, Rattle and Roll" swinging neckbreaker was not only weak, but whenever he got up to "Roll", the face would reverse it or break out. Also, I never liked the Garvin Stomp. I'm sure getting stomped would hurt, but it just looked stupid.

[Innovator]

You people are forgetting Sweet Shin Music, followed by the Double Underhook DDT

Oh one other thing, if Jericho does the move correctly (which he really only did consistently in WCW) it's the Liontamer! *end overly anal jericho fan mode*

[Swordkata]

oh, yeah....that chair guilitine was cool.

Oh yeah, I always loved Austin's "Stungun" when he was in WCW. He would hit it out of nowhere sometimes.

[tucsonspeed6]

Now that I think about it, an honorable mention should be given to Raven for his DDT. Sure, it's just a DDT, but he actually made it look like it hurt. Kudos to him for making a modification on a basic move to make it his own.

[Frank Grimes Jnr]

Buzzkiller
Jacknife power bomb
Outsiders Edge
Big Shows Choke Slam
Liontamer
Flying Elbow Smash (Macho Man's version)

[JeremyTB29]

I always thought Jake the snake's DDT was awesome.Just the way he did it and how he could do it out of nowhere.Btw was he the only wrestler to use the ddt in his days because I remember him calling it "Damien's dinner time".

"Damiens death trap" actually, i still dunno if theres a proper designation for what the initials ddt mean.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

BEST: Burning Hammer
Ki Krusher 99
Stardust Press
Twist of Fate
Running Liger Bomb
Tajiri's kick of death
Kawada's jumping enziguri
Angel Wings
Unprettier

WORST:
The Worm
Heart Punch
FU
Bubba Bomb
------------------

Eh, some powerbomb finishers can be badass, but usually only in INdy or foreign fed. I love the miracle ectasy bomb ( Chokeslam into a powerbomb). Also, a properly executed black tiger bomb is nice. On a whole though, Powerbombs are better ends to a competitive match then they are as standard finishers.

[Moongoose Mcqueen]

Best Finisher: Stunner, Crossface, Walls of Jericho, Sweet Chin Music, Tombstone...
Worst Finisher: The "Magic Wedgie", compliments of Phantasio!!!

[Batsu]

The best finisher: Hard to tell. I might go with the Stunner because of its simplicity, but the Crossface and other submission finishers are pretty convincing.

The worst finisher? It would have to be the overly horrid "Finger Poke of Doom". Though, I guess it wasn't supposed to be a real finisher, it still sucked. "The Worm" is pretty bad, but Scotty really doesn't get a 3 count for it. It's kinda like The People's Elbow in that it's a way for Scotty to be an ass toward his opponent (the only way I saw Rock's People's Elbow is not so much as a serious finisher -- that's what the Rock Bottom is for -- but as Rock being an ass toward his opponent that he has time to showboat and embellish his elbow drop while mocking his opponent. That move has always cracked me up).... that "Wedgie" finisher sounds pretty horrid.

and SmackDown! PS2 game fans, that "Big Elbow Drop Pin" -- is a laaaaaaaaaaame finisher. Was that supposed to be a Rhodes elbow?

Didn't he actually invent the move by slipping while going for a suplex one time? That's the story I heard.

[PureHatred]

Awesome list...glad to see someone mention some non WWE finishers. Especially Daniels' Angel Wings. I'd also throw the InfraRed in there, Frankie Kazarian's Flux Capacitor, and NWA's new guy, Dalls, has a lethal looking Standing Iconoclasm.

[Wondermouse]

I haven't seen the Angel Wings.

[MAdoubleT]

I've seen him do that move once and I don't remember it being called the Houston Hangover.

[MAdoubleT]

Best: Crippler Crossface, Unprettier, Pedigree, 5-Star Frog Splash, Clothesline From Hell (when the opponent takes it like a man unlike Matt Hardy who bumped before Bradshaw made contact with him on a SD! in December 2001), Stone Cold Stunner, Haas of Pain, Shooting Star Press, Widow's Peak

Worst: Stratusfaction, Edgecution, Atomic Leg Drop, Hurricane Choke Slam, Jackhammer

I forgot the Flux Capacitor, which gets my vote for greatest named finisher as well. I haven't seen the Standing Iconoclasm you mentioned, but I'll need to look into it... I've always been a big fan of the cross arm Iconoclasm.

[KaliKot]

LOL Rhyno jobbed to the worm once
Seriously, GOAR GOAR GOAR and Goldberg's Spear are wicked
and so is the sweet chin music when done properly during wmxx when benoit had hhh in the sharpshooter
Shelton's dragon whip is pretty cool
Yang Time (Akio time?)
Edgecution
Jumping Tombstone
Dreamer's Emerald Fusion
Train Wreck
Walls of jericho on the ropes


Anybody remember the Hip-hop drop?
that was funny

[Evolution]

Gerard, I think DDT stands for Double Down Take as it takes both you and your opponent to the mat.

Anywho, best: Stunner
Pedigree
Rock Bottom
Vertebreaker (I had never seen it until I bought the "Ramped Up DVD, it's in Hurricane's TitanTron, he must have used it on HeAt)
Swanton Bomb (not the most effective, but a thing of beauty)
Shooting Star Press
Michinoku Driver

Worst: The Peoples Elbow
The Worm
The Slug
Road Dogg's Shake Rattle and Roll
Booker T Scissors Kick (purely because he does the whole % Time hand thing, dance and then run to the ropes)
FU
Ho Train (fair enough, the Pimp Drop was mainly used as a finisher, but the set up took too long)

D.D.T. is a pesticide used to kill insects....I think remember reading an interview in his pre-WWF days about how his character would look at every other wrestler as an insect, and he needed to spray them with the D.D.T.

I think Adrian Adonis used the D.D.T. before Jake came into the WWF..It was just called an inverted suplex..

[Wondermouse]

DDT isn't just a pesticide, it's Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane, the pesticide, a mother****in' rampage of a killer that's been banned since 1973. It's very, very effective in killing insects, but also pretty effective at killing a bunch of things. The shame of it is, in controlled doses, it's very effective and safe, yet the US won't use it in third world countries where thousands die every day of malaria.
