By the way. Do you guys remember Conway's Ego Trip? It didn't last long since...well..he didn't last long. Even shorter was his top-rope elbow drop. The problem was that he looked petrified to be on the top rope, and it took him like 2 minutes to set up the move before he did it. So of course it was his finisher for all of 5 weeks before he started jobbing. Full-time.

Did Nitro even ever land a corckscrew moonsault.
Also Shannon Moore's neckbreaker. He would climb the top rope, and do a flip into a neckbreaker. Sort of amateur, but it was cool. Also, how can you get rid of a move when it has a name like "The Mooregasm" or "The Halo"?!

The Brock lock. The attempt to give Lesnar a submission hold finisher Did he ever lock in the move correctly? Chris Jericho's "Enziguri of Discomfort(tm)" didn't last too long did it?

The Brock lock. The attempt to give Lesnar a submission hold finisher Did he ever lock in the move correctly? No. He couldn't even stand with it locked in. So Brock just sat down.

Rick Rude used the backbreaker submission hold when he first debuted in 1987.

I have never seen an extreme twist of fate outside of video games. Jeff used it quite a bit before getting fired back in 2003.

What ever happened to Candice Michelle's Candy Wrapper...I don't recall seeing it since her return...could be wrong.

While he still uses it from time to time, I remember they hyped the hell out of Jericho's Codebreaker when he returned, and he was back to using the Walls by the Rumble.

Big Show's moonsault. And yes, he did do it at least once.

Shattered Dreams ... it was presented like a new finisher for a few weeks, and then someone apparently realized: "Hey, this can't be Goldust's actual finisher or he'll always get disqualified." You just reminded me about the most obscure finisher I could remember..and Goldust did it. During the Attitude Era, Goldust was on Metal/Jakked/WWF New York (whatever the heck it was then), and he was supposed to fight Tiger Ali Singh, instead he wrestled his servant Babu. At the end of the match, he locked up Babu almost as if it were a pedigree, except Babu was facing upwards, he locked the arms, and he essentially sat on the guy's face causing his entire body to drop. It's a move that I have never seen or heard about since, but the announcers saw it fit to call it "The Oscar." FINALLLY! I told one of my friends about this move but he didn't believe me. I'm glad to know it wasn't just a figment of my imagination and someone else has apparently seen the move as well. The move didn't look very good and had an awkward setup, but it was interesting. As for a simple description: pedigree, but the opponent faces up not down. As for other posts: Regal Cutter - he used it for quite a while....hit it on Stephanie back when the Regal/Stephanie/Vince/Trish storyline deal was going on. Brock Lock - horrific & kinda hard to believe it would work. Extreme Twist of Fate - I swear I remember Jeff using it at least once since he returned. Codebreaker - the move was hyped and he still hits it on occassion. it's not a great move, but I mark out when he hits it.
