The stone cold stunner. I know most love it but I hate it. It doesn't look like it'd do any damage or minimal at most.

I was never a fan of the Playmaker or any variation of it. Also, I would have to put the flatliner on this list after so many failed attempts of wrestlers using it.

Hulk Hogans LEG DROP. Has there ever been a worse finisher in all of wrestling. Come on that would not finish anyone.

Hulking up makes it hurt 10x more.

People's Elbow can be added to that list.

The theatrics of the People's Elbow and the Leg Drop make them hurt so much more.

It's science.

The worst part about the leg drop wasn't even just how dumb it looked, but that it royally fucked up Hogan's body over the years. The dude's lower back is ruined because of it. He should have just stuck with the lariat he was using for a time in Japan.

In terms of current workers, the Ascension's double-team thing sucks.

I know this thread is a few months old, but I wasn't very active for a while and wanted to add a little to this thread.

One of the most comical finishers I ever seen was the Tornado Punch by, The Texas Tornado Kerry Von Eric. I mean, it went with his gimmick but it looked like a cartoon in the ring. More or less, it appeared as if it were to be meant for the entertainment of children. Such a sloppy finisher for a former World Champion. RIP

The Ultimate Warrior's splash was also horrible. What makes matter worse is that he was the first guy to defeat Hogan Clean... and he used this move! I mean crap, Hogan could kick out of Andre splashing him, but a 150 LB guy with less force than a 70 year old grandma can keep you down for three!? Give me a break!

The Great Khali's chop is also horrendous. If he used more speed to it, I would buy into it more. But that little bit of force, without the speed, doesn't knock a man out.

Anyone remember Bastion Booger? Of course not... Anyway, this morbidly obese gentlemen would sit on his opponents and pin them. What was this move called you ask? "A trip to the Batcave"....

So there are a few from me, that were not already mentioned in this thread. Some of you guys had already posted a few I agree with, so I didn't include them in my post.

I read a lot of articles over at UPROXX and I was introduced to this travesty.

Pretty sure he created that in a Smackdown vs. Raw game.
