What is the BEST finishing moves/submissions of all time?

[Lintyfresh85]

As a sister thread to the worst finishers of all time thread....

My personal favorites are....

Tombstone Piledriver- I just love this move and how many cool ways it can be countered in a match.

Brock Lock- This was just a sick submission move. More people should use it, but I'm guessing most aren't that strong to pull it off.

SSP- When this move is pulled off correctly it looks awesome... and hell, it looks awesome when botched too (Brock I'm looking at you again)

Torture Rack- Classic move imo, loved it...

Lungblower/ Back Cracker/ Back Stabber- Whatever it's called, I think it's cool looking.

Original Sin/Dark Kiss- Very cool looking move. Thorn pulls it off well.

Finishers
Pete Williams- Canadian Destroyer
Senshi- foot stomp is brutal
Back in the day I loved Macho Man's Elbow Drop

Submissions-
I'm quite fond of Dean Malenkos submission- 4 leaf Clover
I have a soft spot for the Deathlock/sharpshooter.

Yeah the Texas Cloverleaf Malenko did was awesome.

Low Ki's stomp is pretty good as well.

I totally disagree about the Canadian Destroyer... at first I thought it was awesome... but then I realized it was just a sunset flip with the guy taking the move doing most of the work. It's one of if not the worst finishers in wrestling... Murdoch as well... although it's funny seeing him try to do the move and nearly killing someone every time he does it.

DDP's (my favorite of all time) Diamond Cutter.....before everyone else started the variations....not the first to do it, but the best!

The Stone Cold Stunner- he got it from DDP (said it himself) but he made it classic....

Goldbergs Jack Hammer

The Flashback\ Sleeping Neckbreaker....I dont know who's move this is....but its awesome

The Houston Hangover

Kidmans 7 year itch


As you can tell im mostly more into the legacy behind the moves...but these are still classic finishers

When Murdoch did that move to Matt Hardy I though he was seriously hurt.

As for my favorite finishers: Shooting Star Press, 540 Splash, Swanton Bomb, Styles Clash, Spiral Tap, Jackhammer, Superkick, Sharpshooter, and Ankle Lock.

When Murdoch attempted that move, it made me cringed. I thought he was going to kill someone.

It was a while ago... he did it for like 2 or 3 weeks straight and I don't think he's done it since.

It was as awful as you would think it would be. But it was made up for by the facial expression he'd have after he hit the move.

Sid's or Vader's Powerbomb.

I love those two... also love whenever The Rock did the stunner on Austin. Ah I miss the good days.

The KRS-One
Pepsi Plunge
Go 2 Sleep
Jay Driller

WWE wise, I'd go with Kennedy's JFK & Finlay's Celtic Cross.

That's a good one. I forgot the Jacknife Powerbomb and the Last Ride.

Re: What is the BEST finishing moves/submissions of all time?

Sharpshooter/Scorpion Death Lock and Walls of Jericho!!!! The Canadian Destroyer is insane as well. I also enjoyed the Total Elimination when it came to tag teams.
