Who Owns the Move?
There are certain moves that will always be associated with one guy, like the Pedigree or Figure 4, but certain finishers or signature moves overlap among top wrestlers and I was wondering who you guys subconsciously associate a move with when you see it used by guys who don't normally use it.
Like when Shawn would apply the Crossface or Rock would apply the Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter you might immediately think of Benoit and Bret or Sting. Or how Johnny Ace may have used the Cutter first, but more people are likely to be reminded of DDP or Orton when they see it. It might be due to liking one guy over the other or generational reasons. Just curious. Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter: Sting or Bret Spear: Goldberg or Edge Frog Splash: RVD or Eddie Guerrero Multiple German Suplexes:: Chris Benoit or Kurt Angle 450 Splash: 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk or Justin Gabriel Crucifix Slam: Sheamus or Scott Hall |

Bret
Edge - Goldie's was great, but Edge used it longer and had more memorable instances (spearing Hardy from a ladder, spearing Foley through the flaming table, etc.) RVD (barely) Benoit Juvy (SWERVE!) Hall |

Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter: Bret Hart, and mainly because Sting started using that stupid Death Drop shit and Bret stuck to the Sharpshooter throughout his career. Hated seeing the Rock and his fucked up version.
Spear: Goldberg. There was nothing intimidating or awesome about Edge spearing someone as a finish, unless said someone was hanging from a ladder. He had better finishes. Frog Splash: Eddie. No reason, just who I think of when I see someone do it. Maybe it's because he's dead. Multiple German Suplexes: Benoit. See above. 450 Splash: ERREBODY HERE COMES 2 COLD SCORPIO! (Cue horrible 90's WCW rap beat) Crucifix Slam: Razor's Edge....only name I know it as. |

Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter:
Bret Spear: Goldberg Frog Splash: Eddie Guerrero (Mainly because RVD has so many other moves he's known for probably more than this.) Multiple German Suplexes:: ...seriously? 450 Splash: 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk or Justin Gabriel None of the above because neither of these guys is well-known enough outside of the internet for have their names be synonymous with a move. It would be very easy for anyone to come into WWE and make this move their own. Crucifix Slam: Scott Hall for now, but could change if Sheamus really takes off and becomes a long-term guy. |

Also "Too Cold Scorpio" is a totally gay-ass retarded name for a wrestler.

I do not agree that the Figure Four is associated with one guy. Not at all.

To be fair....Eddie and RVD do the Frog Splash different. I really don't see them as the same move.
Just my opinion. |

Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter:
Bret Spear: Goldberg - Loved Rhino's Gore more than the Spear but Goldberg made his spear become more associated with himself than Edge who used it more towards the later part of his career. Frog Splash: Eddie Guerrero Multiple German Suplexes:: Chris Benoit 450 Splash: 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk Crucifix Slam: Scott Hall - Sheamus "Celtic Cross" could easily be replaceable with his "Brogue Kick" in terms of association since he has ended matches with the kick while Hall made sure the "Razor's/Outsider's Edge" became the signature for him ending a match. |

Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter:
Bret - Just cause I watched WWF before WCW but I identify it with Bret more so. Sting's signature move for me was always the Scorpion Deathdrop. Spear: Edge - as someone mentioned earlier, Edge has more iconic moments with the Spear than Goldberg. In saying that Rhyno always had the best Spear. Frog Splash: Eddie Guerrero - To be honest I almost consider his and RVD's as different moves due to the huge differences between them. Multiple German Suplexes:: Chris Benoit - No question about it. 450 Splash: Justin Gabriel - Never seen anyone do it as well and as consistently as Gabriel. Crucifix Slam: Scott Hall - It's Razor Ramon's finisher and it's called the Razor's Edge. How about the Chokeslam or Shooting Star Press? I would go with the Undertaker and Evan Bourne (even though Billy Kidman was the first I had ever seen use it regularly) respectively. |

Didn't Finlay use the Tombstone as a finisher while he was in WcW?

How about the Rock Bottom or the Book End? I didn't watch much of WCW back in the day so I don't know for how long Booker T was using it as his finisher.

Kevin Nash does all the moves the best. I saw him pull them all off at a house show once. I video taped it, but my camera was confiscated by security.
