Let's face it, moves like the Paydirt/Play of the Day/Ginger Snap have been passed around the locker room like ring rats these days, but it's not the first time it's happened. I think I got all the overly common finishers, but if I somehow managed to forget one, you know what to do.

I won't even list a particular finisher, but I am getting sick and tired of the infamous DDT being used as a time-waster to get back into the match.
A move that was once used to cripple somebody is now just a "hope-spot" in the match. Just sad, is all.

The pumphandle slam, finisher of choice for midcard hosses for most of the Attitude Era.

Spinning reverse neckbreaker/rolling cutter. Just some I can list who used it: Luther Reigns, Ted DiBiase Jr., Test, Carlito, Cody Rhodes.

Several years ago the Backcracker was the go-to move for midcarders with no real finisher. See Maven, Carlito, Rene Dupree, etc.

I voted for the overdrive as that shouldn't have been used more than once.

Any time they give a guy a regular sleeper as a finisher move tends to be pretty boring. Granted at least to my knowledge they haven't done that for a while.

Anyways, I think the most overused finisher is probably the Testdrive/Crossrhodes. Though the Jumping Reverse STO is getting up there as well. |

You could say the same thing for the spinebuster, which Triple H, Austin, and Rock ALL used regularly as comeback transition moves. |

Those different twisting neckbreakers for finishers.
It seems like at one point, almost half of the entire WWE roster used them

I gotta tell ya though, Cody's getting CrossRhodes over well. Its been his finish for a copule of years now, has a cool easy to remember name, and always looks pretty good sometimes looks awesome. Its a good finish for a smaller guy thats not a big high flier, like Cody. |

ECW was great with these moves, once in a while all you needed to win was a big ol' DDT or Piledriver, even though that wasn't necessarily the guy's finish. Now, Piledrivers are completely banned, and DDT's are completely undersold. Weird, wild stuff. |

It's all about how the move is sold; the opponent has to put some torque in the body to make the move look great. |
