Here's my top 5 finishers and why (no specific order.)
1. Pedigree-Looks great and can be executed out of nowhere.
2. The backstabber-It looks really painful and also can be executed out of nowhere.
3. Cutwrench powerbomb-It's very loud, and the louder the impact, the greater it looks.
4. Michelle McCool's move-Probably the best diva move because it's so innovative and i wouldn't want to be on the other end of that (or would I lol)
5. Shooting star press-It's a hard move to hit and is bordeline dangerous lol Nobody hits it like Brock Lesnar though (haha only joking, dude screwed it up)

are you kidding me the two lamest finshers in wwe.
my 92 year old grandmother could get out of a killswitch. i think christian needs a new finisher because everytime he pulls it it looks like the other guy is just letting him do it. a finisher should come out of nowhere and look convincing and be quick. it MUST look like a move that could put someone away. the killswitch couldnt put away a 5 year old. chris benoit couldnt have killed his kid with the killswitch if he tried.
the best finisher ever in my opinion is the stunner. and not so much the move itself because the disiple in
did the same move and it looked cheesy. stone cold knew how to pull it off. and screw the rko, orton puts shame to that move. it NEVER looks good when he does it EVER. when ddp did it it looked good and believeable. when randy orton does it it looks cheesy and set up.
my personal favorite finisher of all time(not the best as i mentioned before) would have to be the fameASSer by Billy Gunn. it could be hit from anywhere on anybody and it was believeable in my opinion. he could hit that thing from behind from the top rope from anywhere. plus its one of those finishers that you can hit on anybody from rey rey to the bigshow.
honerable mention goes to tyson kidd for his springboard flying elbow. i gotta tell you the first time i saw him pull that it was really refreshing. its brings me back to the days where a finisher didnt have to be so flashy as much as impact. you know like hulks leg drop or machos elbow or pipers sleeper.
I will go for the Code-Breaker. Not because it is insanely powerful, just because it is like the RKO in that it can come from anywhere and be effective. The problem with the RKO is that, if you think about, it is only falling face first to the floor. That sucks, it's the most over-rated finisher in the WWE no dount about it. The codebreaker is a move that looks bloody painful. So yeah, Code-Breaker for me.
you think orton puts shame to that move?you do realize the dimond cutter and rko arint the same.there similar yes as the rko is a variation of the move.and orton makes the rko look great.how he hits it.that fact that orton can hit it from any position.which i dont think ddp ever did.and orton does i good job at making it very believable.when it hit on on stacy,or steph b4 mania.and the fameasser was stupid.terrible move just terrible.billygunn put SHAME to that move.ha!

Best moves simplicity wise-
For me, number one would be the Edge's "Spear".
It can be hit out of no where. Utilization by Goldberg made it seem simply devastating, by driving the opponent to the mat using your own body.
Shawn Michael's "Sweet chin music" comes in at a very close second.
Best move that's a little showy-
Number one in my opinion would be Paul Burchill's "C-4"
Here's a video, the first move shown in the video simply is phenomenal and hard to execute.

1. The Pedigree is good, but Id rather see CM Punk do it off of the top ropes.
2. The backstabber is a good finisher, too bad it took Primo to finally get Carlito the push he needed to get over with the fans.
3. Cutwrench? are you talking about Swaggers finishers, the Gutwrench Power Bomb? if so I've always been a fan of this move. I liked when Test did the Gutwrench power slam more tho.
4. From what Ive heard she does AJ Styles finisher now, has it been renamed the McCool Clash?
5. Always a great finisher.
I'm still upset that Jericho no longer does the Old School WWE Liontamer, it looked so much more painful that the current Wall of Jericho.
Im sorry but the set up for the Killswitch is far to slow, and Christian is far to small for this move to go off correctly all the time.
The spear is great, but Edge needs to put more power into it, Actually the best spear I've seen in recent memory was the one Big Show delievered on Monday.
Hmm...... I think I'll have to go with Bourne's SSP.
Granted, K know, I love it because it's flashy, and that it's a spot. But I see no fault in liking spots whatsoever. I understand why people don't like wrestlers that are "spotty", but you have to admit, you mark out when you see something that you know looked really fucking awesome. And that's the case with the press. Not only that, but Bourne is safe with it. To the best of my knowledge, he's yet to hurt anyone in WWE, and he always comes down so well upon the wrestler. He's so coordinated when he's up in the air, that you hardly even realize he's pulling off a spot. You just are excited, because he hit the move, and hit it perfectly. Not only that, but the amount of air he gets for his SSP is phenomenal. It's probably the highest I've seen a wrestler jump without the aid of a ladder.
Is it spotty? Perhaps. Is it effective? I would reason. Is it flashy? You bet your ass. Is it the best WWE finisher? Absolutely.

Im gunna go with Morrisons splitlegged corkscrew moonsault (not sure if hes got a name on it yet). If i were to choose something else, it would have to be Ortons punt. I dunno who would classify that as a finisher but im sure if he used it in a match his opponent wouldn't kick out.

I guess the RKO.
I hated it at first, because it just looked like a Diamond Cutter rip-off to me. But, in the end, I am just a mark for any Ace Crusher variation.

I'm going to say that the Roll of the Dice should be on the list, even though it's not finished a match since Test left the first time when I think it was called the Test Drive, Carlito still uses a variation of it
Besides that I'll go with William Regal's Regal Stetch, I'd honestly like to see him start using it again.

I'm better than you!
It would come down to a few for me.
GTS (Go to Sleep) - I think putting this move into reality would totally fuck you up. There is no getting up from that, your nose would be broken and your face smashed in. The only issue with it is Punk sometimes looks rediculous hoisting bigger guys onto his shoulders. But it is still a devestating looking move.
Sweet Chin Music - Shawn Michaels executes this move awesome and it looks great and believable in putting someone to the mat for a 3 count.
Swanton Bomb - Yes yes, I'm a Hardy fan but if you had a guy flying from the top rope into your chest/gut with his back you would be winded and unable to kick out i think. It looks sick as well and with Jeff's style it looks even better.
Shooting Star Press Much the same reason as the Swanton Bomb... Also it's just insane to watch, love the move.

The Issuse with Ortons kick compaired to anyone elses regular kick is that Orton is aiming for the temple. So a kick aimed at and hitting the temple would knock them out or in real life kill them because your aiming for the temple. Thats why Ortons kick is supposed to be more potent then the other kicks.

Yeah man the gutwrench my bad lol, The UNPRETTIER (Killswitch sounds too McMahonized lol,) used to be great, but for some reason seems like he's doing it slower. Edge's spear is homicidal! Geez, Edge must've been a great linebacker when he played.

Then his aim is off. The one time I saw him physically connect was when he booted Vince and he basically nailed him in the side of the face and jaw. The majority of the time it appears like he is whiffing on the kick while the other wrestler has to sell his ass off to make the move believable.
I understand what he is trying to accomplish with the move. But with far more devastating techniques, holds and weapons being used in the wrestling world, it is close to impossible to believe that a wrestler can be taken out with a simple kick to the head when they arrive to work fresh and spry after being beaten over the head with a metal chair or thrown through a spotlight.
i have a few finishers in mind because i couldn't quite decide on 1.
Moonlight Drive- This finisher is very well done by John Morrison and it really compliments his character.
Starship Pain- This manuever is often hit after the moonlight drive and it is always a great end to any Morrison match it truely shows off his skill. Morrison is the future of wwe.
Back Cracker- This move is very well utilized and can be used at any point in a match really delivering a shocking ending which drives the crowd nuts. Now that both colons are using the move it is going to be used to the full extent maybe they could even make a tag move where they both put one knee on an opponents back and their combined weight brings the opponent down with a devastating force.

The Legend Killer himself
Currently? It's without doubt the RKO.
Devastating? -Rarely kicked out of- Check.
Draws heavy reaction? -Everyone in the arena gets to their feet regardless if they want it hit or if they want it countered- Check.
Believable "wrestling" move? Check.
Flexible move? -Can be hit out of numerous positions, while running, on moving opponents, still opponents, onto weapons, big men, small men...
Yeah, I'll go with the RKO.

I got to go with the RKO and the Moonlight Drive, like most of the others in this forum are choosing.
RKO- the way Orton can pull it off out of nowhere is amazing.
MLD- same goes for Morrison.
by the way, i know this following comment is rather off topic, but Orton has crooked eyes lol. Saw a clip of him holding the title after his match in the 3- for- all. reminded me of Perry Saturn.

the rko and the diamond cutter are the same move i dont care what anyone says. the rko is stale and boring and not believeable. ive been waiting for randy orton to come up with somthing new the first time i ever saw the rko.
also i forgot to mention out of the worst finsihers in wwe i would have to give that honor to paul burchill with the curb stomp.
are we honestly supposed to believe tahts going to do more than give someone a slight headache.
also i was unaware that melinas new finisher is trevor murdochs old one. thats kinda interesting to me. if youve ever seen trevor hit it you know why.
also kofi kingstons finisher should be put up there in top 5 finishers. it looks good, can take out anyone and can be hit from almost anywhere
and the FAMEasser is the tits when it comes to finishers. how could he put shame to a move that only he himself does?

Some interesting finishers have been listed here.
Alot back in the begining of this thread seemed to have voted SCM as one of their favorites/best.
1. CodeBreaker-It's effective, and can be hit from just about any posistion.
2. RKO-I'm a Orton fan, and the way he can draw a reaction out of the crowd makes this a close for first.
3. Sweet Chin Music-Can be hit at any time, and is highly effective. A boot to the face is simply devestating.

decent post, so heres my two pence (english- waddya gonna do?!) ...
1) the RKO by Randy Orton (is he still the Legend Killer or just thr Viper now?) is an awesome move, i wont explain why, just see every other post for reasons
2) Sweet Chin Music/Superkick, used by several wrestlers (TNAs Chris Harris and WWEs John Morrisson) but none do it better than HBK, out of nowhere and BANG, like all the ones on Vince, and when he sent Naitch on his way (see rest of thread for more details)
3) I KNOW IT'S NOT WWE BUT... Styles Clash by AJ Styles whatever you think of TNA it is a sweet ass move, rarely kicked out, potential for reversal, crowd pops like crazy and often ends with the pin. sweet move. once, cant remember who on but Styles did the Styles Clash off maybe the second rope and it looked sick!!!
4) Shooting Star Press by of course Evan "Air"Bourne/Matt Sydal looks awesome on a par with Christopher Daniels WBM for textbook execution. a nice bit of flare in an all too sanitised WWE. If Sydal unleashed some of the moves he threw on the indie circuit the he would rule the roost.
5) Hardy (either!) Twist of Fate, if only for that spoot at the end of the Wrestlemania match when Matt puts Jeffs head in the chair loooked brutal

the sweet chin music is devastating and can come out of nowhere...shooting star looks great when bourne does it....edgecution was good and it's too bad that edge doesnt use it as a finisher...he should have another finisher besides spear....
