I was thinking, take Triple H, his signature moves:
"Harley Race-Like" Running High Knee
Facebuster
Spinebuster
Pedigree
No one else is really (allowed to be?) doing any of his moves, other than Arn Anderson and Batista, no one else does the spinebuster, definitely no one does the high knee, no one does the pedigree unless in a "stealing other person's finisher" kinda way, and not really the facebuster either!
The closest to the pedigree was the pepsi plunge, which arguably was banned for HHH's sake, or for Punk's knees.
I was wondering, is there any other wrestler's signature moves that no one else uses any form of?
The over used ones of course being - Powerbomb (Kane, Undertaker, Goldberg, Batista, Kevin Nash, JBL, need i continue?)
and there seems to be a lot of version's of the Mic Check too?
Discuss

Batista, since Goldberg is retired, seems to be the only one to do the Jackhammer as a semi-finisher move.

The Masterlock is very exclusive in the WWE.
I haven't seen anybody else pull out a full nelson since he came in a couple years ago.
And when was the last time you saw a non-Cena fireman's carry on WWE TV?

He even swings them like Masters does, too. MVP has done the kneeling version a couple times in the past during some chain spots. No one really does the Boston Crab anymore after Jericho came back. The Walls is just a regular Crab anyway, now, so I could see why they're protecting it. And Punk doesn't do the Plunge anymore because of his knees, and he changed his style completely. He didn't do it that much at the end of his indy run because of this. |

I remember how Raven caught some heat for putting an opponent in the Tarantula. Probably because it was Tajiri's signature move.
And didn't they ban the SSP when Kidman was still around, or was that just a storyline issue?

Discuss High Knee is used by Bourne, albeit not a running one, but a jumping one. The knee-facebuster is used by MVP, although a LITTLE differently. |

I mean no one currently uses the move? I think Austin would've been the last person to use it still. I think MVP's Ballin' is the very nearest, and probably the most a move will ever look like the people's elbow! |

The Alabama Slam was basically something Holly would only do. Although some variations of spinebusters can be similar.

Kidman hurt a couople people late in his run, which basically lead to him getting pushed down the card. Bourne apparently had to do it flawlessly multiple times before WWE agreed to let him use it. |

Some moves should be exclusive and be known by one person. One example was at an ROH show, Supercard of Honor 09. It was Bryan Danielson vs Alex Kozlov (awesome match by the way if you haven't seen it) but Kozlov does the Low Down as a high spot, and D'lo Brown is in the next match (though he didn't use it against Colt Cabana). Now, I was thinking that maybe it would be best to just let D'lo do that frog splash instead of having a guy doing a one off shot do it as well. Again, not taking away from how great the match was certainly, but if it's a finisher, one guy should just do it.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone other than take do old school Sonjuai Dutt had a verison of it for a while. He did a sprinkler arm motion as he walked the ropes. I didn't see him doing that much once he went to the Guru gimmick. |

I belive the Steviekick was eliminated once HBK came back.
