Two awesome finishers

The Killswitch (link)

Star Victory Drop (Link)

But my favorite is this

No one does this better than Kudo-Sama
the kudo-sama looks pretty nasty and cool

*Slaps you across the head*

It's called the Kudo Driver. The wrestler doing it is Megumi Kudo. Sama is a title like mistress or lord. So Kudo-Sama does the Kudo Driver better than everyone else
Nothing like a brutal lariat, usually done by Kenta Kobashi or Go Shiozaki. Stan Hansen's are just legit brutal, but they don't have the same flare as the other two's.

Shinya Hashimoto's Brainbuster DDT is a nice, simple finishing move, just like with Dr. Death's Backdrop Driver.

Submission-wise, I'm a big fan of cross armbreakers, especially the Minoru Special. Mistico's La Mistica is also a favorite.
The Kudo Driver is a Vertabreaker, and nobody does a Vertabreaker better than Shane Helms.

The Regalplex is a devastating and innovative finisher and probably one of the best, with the Michinoku Driver (2) right under it.

The Vertibreaker is Helms version and its not very good. Megumi Kudo invented the move back in 96, two or three years before Helms debuted. She debuted it in Combat Toyoda's retirement match (which from I remember, was the first women's death match) and defeated Toyoda in front of the FMW president. There are like three other wrestlers who hit the Kudo Driver better than Helms like Drake Younger, Homicide and I think Cheerleader Melissa. Hell, Shane's doesn't land neutral Everyone's elses Kudo Driver lands, not Shane's.

It's safer that way, and besides, it looks real enough for people to think it hurts. Thus making it the safer and therefore better finisher.

Sorry but when you see that Shane doesn't even have the opponent land on the mat, the moves loses all power. It's an impact move, so to remove the impact from the move, you basically kill the move itself. Just because it's "safer" doesn't make it "better" in fact, making it "safe" removes the potential for that move. It's like when a wrestler does a clothesline and the wrestler recieving it falls to the mat before the wrestler doing the clotheline hits him with it. That makes the clothesline seem weak.

Please direct me to a video where the opponent doesn't land. Shane angles his differently, to where the land on their upper back instead of their neck, which doesn't subtract from the realism and makes it safer, therefore, Suger Shane's Vertabreaker is better.

Agreed with Grouchu. Petey Williams's Canadian Destroyer is epic.

I'm going to say Sweet Chin Music. Only a man as charismatic as HBK could make a basic kick finisher seem so epic and devastating. It may not be the most impressive-looking, but its simple, effective, and convincing..
As usual when these threads pop up... I'm leaving this here,

The canadian destroyer without a doubt. Hard to pull off, awesome looking on execution.

Despite the fact that I never cared for Bobby Lashley, I can't deny the dominator was a pretty neat looking move.

Jericho's OLD walls of Jericho, back when he correctly pulled off the move and didn't hold back on account of potential damage to opponent, was just PAINFUL. Nowadays he has a half-assed version, though.
