The Worm is definitively the worst finisher as far as execution, especially since it came from a 180 lb man. And the actual move was just a one handed falling slap

Yeah, the people's elbow is a taunt. Infact, he actually makes it look like he's going for a leg drop and then it's like "nah, I'll just cherry-tap him"

Elbow. The legdrop is literally Hogan just dropping his huge thigh on your neck at full pace.

Half the time, Rock barely even grazed the guy with the elbow. More of the force was him landing on his back.

People's Elbow.
Has so much build up only to have him drop an elbow onto the chest. Maybe if it was to the heart and they actually acknowledged it was to the heart than it would be better but still.

It was often stated that it was "right on the heart"....even if Rock technically always dropped the elbow away from that particular area. I don't know about this one. I bought both of them as believable. A leg drop right on your throat would easily put anyone away if not kill them. That an a 260lb guy driving an elbow into your chest at full force would not only break your ribcage, but again would easily put you down for a while. They both work.

went with the Elbow because of all the extra recovery time the person has before it hits compared to the leg drop.

I always took the people's elbow as not only a single elbow drop, but millions and millions of elbow drops that The Rock channeled from the people, thus devastating his opponent. ...What? I like to think of wrestling as DBZ but with the narrator speaking all the time. Me and my friend always joke when the big show is out doing a promo that he's always got his hand bunched up in a fist because he's charging his WMD up to FINAL. Yes, we think of the WWE as a fighting game.

I picked the leg drop, because I never found anything about Hogan believable. Unless you were Undertaker getting leg drop after leg drop by both Yokozuna and King Mabel

Half the time, Rock barely even grazed the guy with the elbow. More of the force was him landing on his back. To that end, most of the force was Hogan landing on his ass. Of course, that all goes to the whole "not injuring the guy you're working with" part of wrestling.

The elbow at least looked like there was some force with it coming down. The leg drop seemed like it barely tapped the guy.

Hmm, that's tough. The People's Elbow actually had a devastating move before it unlike that weak boot to the face that Hogan does, but the leg drop looks more finishing than The People's Elbow.

I didn't see anyone mention this yet, what about Yokozuna? There is nothing really comparable to the People's elbow as a finish to a match, but Yokozuna basically did Hogan's Atomic Leg Drop, but weighed in at his lightest nearly double what Hogan weighed. Yoko would do the move, go for a cover, and people would kick out. I could never buy Hogan's superior leaping ability to execute the move would make up for the amount of weight difference Yoko had over him. If Yoko couldn't put a guy away after landing on their throat, face and chest all at the same time with 1 thigh, I wasn't able to buy Hogan landing his tiny (by comparison) leg on a guy as being more devastating.

I agree Yoko had to sit on him to pin him, but neither was as believable as Warrior doing a Big Splash as pinning move either

Botched leg drops can knock you out, a botched peoples elbow MIGHT give you a bruise

Yoko was to fat. His big leg couldn't fit between your chest and jaw. Hulk's smaller leg dropped right on your adam's apple which is more debilitating

I'm going against the grain here a little, but the chokeslam in general just cracks me up when I actually watch the opponent leaping straight up into the air to assist with it.
