But you know that that's just one move that would actually hurt a lot in real life -- so it was pretty believable. I can't really think of any for some reason...

There's no magic to it. It really does hurt the other guy if you manage to flip the hold.
Hacksaw's 3-point stance. He even didn't try to make it look like a devestating clothesline. He'd do like 18 clotheslines throughout the match but then we he does a 3-point stance beforehand it's suddenly a finishing move? Horrible. I noticed this even when I was like 4-years-old.

I thought I seen that too. Anyway, Hacksaw's clothesline, people's elbow(because it got popular it became his FINISHING MOVE!), Crush's head crush squat, bronco buster(wanna bust a nut on a guy's chest?), macho's elbow drop, Mankind's socko version mandable claw when he wasn't even a freak anymore...
*deep breath*
Bradshaw's Clothesline, Val Venis money shot (fucking body splash), Lex Luger's Torture Rack, slingshot, the whole whip against the rope physics, Piper's sleeper hold(what kind of wussy move is this?)... *sigh*
There's a lot. But the stupidest? I'll go with Hogan's leg drop. I mean, all wrestling physics aside, how weak do you have to be to have a guy lay his leg on you and put you down for the count? And this guy was the defender of all that was good back in the day. Earthquake or Sergeant Slaughter threaten the federation, and Hogan and his leg are there to save us. And his shaking his head act. I loved seeing Warrior matching that with shaking the ropes. But who am I kidding. I loved him and his leg. :lol

The only reason I know is because my brother would put the hold on me when I was a kid, the silly bastard.

You are to respect Savage's elbow drop! And Bradshaw's lariat may be the only thing I like about him

Yeah when you flip a figure-four it starts to bend the other guys shin the wrong way or something. I also tried it as a kid.
But fear not; I wouldn't piledrive someone off a roof and through a table.

Anyone remember early WCW. There was Kevin Sullivan and his Dungeon of Doom (worst group ever) .. Kevin's finishing move would be to lay his opponent in the center of the ring, run into the ring ropes and then stomp on his opponent. That is it.
(Technically, it is a neat trick, because it does take some talent to jump in the air and land on someone with both of your feet, and not hurt them)

Last night, at the TNA ppv, the NASCAR commentator Jeff Hammond did something called a "pit stop elbow". Apparently, it involves him pretending to rev up, back up a few steps, and then drop an elbow. While I haven't seen it yet, if it's half as ridiculous as it sounds, it will make the Worm look like a fucking Burning Hammer.
Also, I know people are going to disagree with me on this one but I think the Canadian Destroyer is pretty fucking stupid. The opponent is the one doing all the work for it. I mean, I had to watch it three times to decide who the impact is supposed to be directed towards.
I want to echo the hate for Cena's moves too. As stupid as the Five Knuckle Shuffle is, I'm really more bothered by the FU. It's just a fireman's carry for Christ's sake! If you're going to do a DVD, do a DVD.

Screw you all, Hogan's legdrop was the best finishing move in all of wrestling history. The hulk up, the three punches into the rope, irish whip, big boot, leg drop ... the best finishing sequence in wrestling history.
Meng's toungan death grip has to be way up there as worst finishing move. As for worst move period in wrestling, its easily the irish whip. It's alright when someone actually puts some umph into it to make you believe it was a hell of a push, but it gets ridiculous sometimes when a guy whips a guy into the ropes and he's in 'cant stop' mode.

The "Garvin Stomp."
That's an example of a wrestler that will never get anywhere. He obviously has no idea how to re-invent himself so he sticks with the same played out gimmick hoping it'll catch fire again.
Dumbest move.. his and people's elbow but at least the Rock has enough charisma to make it seem a lot better than it actually is.
Warrior's guerilla splash was pretty weak too.

That's no piledriver sir, that was Emerald Frosion, which makes it that much cooler.

Let me see if I can explain it...
First off, it's Petey Williams's finisher. It starts off with Petey putting his opponent in a powerbomb position. He then flips forward pile-driving the opponent. When you see it though, it basically looks like the opponent is trying to back body drop Petey to get out of the powerbomb but rotates too far and ends up pile-driving himself.
I'm pretty sure that's right...it's really a confusing move when you see it.

You'll see the Canadian Destroyer at about the 3and half minute mark I think.

What was that move where they'd put someone in a corner then back up to other and charge em and fucking ride em like a cowboy? Is that the Bronco Buster? You'd think grown men in tights and facepaint would do everything they could to distant themselves from that type of thing.
