Yeah if I was gonna go with a swanton it would have been O'Haire's version. Ghetto Blaster gets no love.

The hell is the CrossRhodes (aka rent-a-finisher #134) doing on this list?

What's wrong with Crossrhodes? I think it's a cool move and he executes it well.

I personally prefer Mike Knox's Scissor Kick to Sheamus'.

On the subject of Mike Knox, I can't believe I forgot Knox Out.

Another impressive group of moves to add to the list...although, I have to say that I did not see the WMD making the list, and it's good to know that I am not the only one who picked the Gringo Killa.

The Gringo Killa is so well done...slightly better then Helms version...

WMD didn;t make my list but I can see why it made somes...it's a move that looks like in real life it would kill you and it can come from out of nowhere..

I had never seen El Generico before this...I am pretty impressed with that move tbh

Coast to Coast is just awesome


Figure Four is a move I was never a huge fan of but can't deny it deserves to be on here

Clothesline from Hell would have made my list but I chose Koloff's Russian Sickle instead

Airborne....blah...hate Evan Bourne

I chose the figure four strictly because of Flair and the people he has put in it. I can understand the WMD backing, Big Show can pull it off as a finish, no matter how weak I think it looks lol. Generico has some great moves though, and that Brainbustaaaaaah looks like it would fucking hurt no matter what. I tried to find a few indy moves to add into my list as some deserve credit for being innovative.

How does a giant with more than 1800 PSI punching you in the face look weak?

I typed that wrong...the move executed by Show doesn't look weak, but the fact that it is a punch makes me feel like it is weak. It's nothing against Show using the move, it's just the actual move itself being a punch. Falls into the same category as Hogan's leg drop for me, just the way I feel about it.

I like the WMD. If a man that size hit you with a haymaker it would def mess you up. I didn't have it in my top 25 but it would be in my top 50.

I put the Brainbuster in but not by El Generico, never seen him personally so I put it in by Kid Kash.

But Hogan needed his opponent on the ground to do the leg drop. Show can just fire that punch out of anywhere. Besides, what's a more effective finisher? A move where you have to elaborately set up your opponent or expose yourself to danger or a move where you can just knock them the fuck out and be done with it? I love fancy moves, but the practical ones are a lot cooler.

Thinking more on it, I believe that my problem with it is a bias because I do not like Show and never have, so therefore, his finisher means nothing to me. I can understand the logic behind the move, because it would be hellacious if he punched someone with full force.

I guess I prefer a little bit of style with my moves.
