There are certain moves in wrestling that aren't really finishers, so much as they are plot-devices. Moves so powerful that they are never kicked out of, or even take people out for months at a time. I want to go as far back as necessary here; let's make a master list. I'll add new ones as they come up.
THE LIST
The Punt (Randy Orton)
Con-Chair-To (Edge and Christian)
3D (the Dudley Boyz)
Jackhammer (Goldberg)
Doomsday Device (Road Warriors/Legion of Doom)
Top-Rope Attitude Adjustment (John Cena)
Banzai Drop (Yokozuna)
Razor's Edge (Razor Ramon)
Knee Plus (Daniel Bryan
Cinderblock Curb Stomp (Seth Rollins)
WMD (Big Show)
Top Rope Attitude Adjustment (John Cena)
Jumping Tombstone (Undertaker)
Triple Powerbomb (The Shield)

The Lion Tamer seems to be a more powerful Walls of Jericho, in a way, since he did it to Cena on the concrete after a DDT and such in what I guess was being presented as more brutal than normal, and whenever someone is in it, they seemingly are pretty f***ed, since I don't think they can really get to the ropes from it unless they were already able to reach.
The Van Terminator is of course one, presented as a bigger blow than the Van Daminator or 5 Star Frog Splash.
Big Show's knockout punch/WMD seems to be pretty much unkickout-able.
The Hell's Gate/Gogoplata/Gogodancer is another one, being presented as dangerous enough to need to be banned by the Board of Directors, who for some reason thought that was a big deal but didn't give a shit when JBL literally tried to murder John Cena.

Big Show's WMD has an exemplary track record, being kicked out of less often than the Dudleys' 3D.
Justin Gabriel's 450 splash was sold as a killer back in the day. If I recall right he's even beaten Cena cleanly with it.

I would assume almost any finisher done off the top rope would qualify.

Bryan's running knee has only ever been kicked out of once, and that was with a delay between hitting it, and someone else going for the pin.
But it has cleanly beaten Cena, Orton and HHH. Plus Batista tapped out very quickly to the Yes Lock right after the running Knee.
Curb Stomp to Cinder Blocks, it's only connected once but has been seen as a career threatening move at least 4 times.

Is this meant to be a collection of "Special Event" finishers like the Top Rope Attitude Adjustment, the Punk Kick and the ConChairto or just "Finishers" that almost always won their matches? There's a distinct line between them in my opinion. The "Special" ones would have to be not used in every match (ie: no 3D, no Jackhammer, no Jake DDT).
They aren't all WWE, but I'd put these ones on the "SuperMove" list:
Top Rope Attitude Adjustment (or Top Rope/Avalanche versions of any finisher really)
Randy Orton's Punt Kick
The ConChairto (or any finisher done on a chair/foreign object really)
The Van Terminator
The Fireball
The Poison Mist (before Muta/Tajiri started using it every match)
The Piledriver (in WWE at the moment)
The Burning Hammer (originally)
Tiger Driver '91
The Ganso Bomb/Kawada Driver
Toyota's Victory Star Drop
The Poisoned Frankensteiner
Brock Lesnar's Shooting Star Press
Sami Zayn's Brainbustaaaah
Bret Hart's turnbuckle figure four

Aside from Ambrose who actually made sense doing it, has anyone else actually kicked out of the Curbstomp? It's certainly presented as a devastating move.

I want to add the Unprettier/Killswitch to that list. Yes, it's generally only been used on other midcarders, but I always recall it being sold like death, and can't remember anyone (except maybe Orton) kicking out of it.

Beth Phoenix's Glam Slam wasn't kicked out of often, if at all from what I can recall (maybe Mickie James). Also, its top rope variation...  |
