Not a one-timer, but I remember this being brought up last week: that MVP Playmaker-like move Zack Ryder did with the knee behind the head? It's one of his finishers in WWE13. I don't remember him ever doing that, then again he was kind of a loser and didn't win much. He used it a lot in ECW, where he had a better win/loss record, generally speaking.

I'm going to try to keep this to stuff that was at least around long enough to get a name. I know that Edge once used the Killswitch on Dolph Ziggler, and that Undertaker used the Flying Clothesline to put away King Kong Bundy, but stuff like that doesn't count. Edge: Downward Spiral Spear Edge O'Matic (Inverted X-Factor) Edgecution (Impaler DDT) Edgecator (Kneeling Sharpshooter) Conchairto Taker (this one is going to be a little harder) Tombstone Piledriver Chokeslam Last Ride Taker Care of Business Hell's Gate Triangle Choke Thanks, when Edge, towards the end, used mainly the spear as his finisher, did he ever break out the other old finisher moves, ie: the edgecution? I bet if he did they were now mid-match moves, which would only ever get a 2 count. Ive always found that annoying in kayfabe how a finisher suddenly loses power, like the DDT. At least with Taker he beat people with the Chokeslam, Tombstone, Last Ride or Hells Gate. (Unless its at Mania where everything gets kicked out of until the 2nd or 3rd tombstone.) He'd get a two count with the Edge O'Matic, but he managed to get pins with the Edgecution after it had ceased being his go-to finisher, occasionally.

I watched SmackDown more than any of the shows and might catch WWECW once in a while. I rarely saw Zack actually wrestle but he would be out there with Rosa. (I liked them together.)

I seem to remember Val Venis dropping the Money Shot for a bit & using the Venis Fly Trap & every now & then using a Perfect-plex

Early in the New Age Outlaws days, Billy Gunn would use a piledriver as a finisher.

The Rock's shoulder breaker.
Snitsky used a front powerslam into a swinging side slam for a while.
The Boogeyman briefly used a pumphandle slam and an inverted World's Strongest Slam briefly before switching to a chokebomb.
Tensai's weird mist-assisted STK.

I don't mind the names of Edge's finishers, but what is Edge o Matic supposed to mean? Automatic? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veg-O-MaticThis might have been named already, but Big Show briefly had a finisher where he'd bend the guy over backwards and then lift his leg over them and do a legdrop. In ECW, he also had a thing where he'd put them in a cobra clutch and then just like fling them across the ring, but I don't remember if he used it as his finisher.

What about Big Show using the Final Cut? I still love his chokeslam being referred to as the Show Stopper. Then Shawn Michaels came back ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I don't remember him ever doing that, then again he was kind of a loser and didn't win much. He used it a lot in ECW, where he had a better win/loss record, generally speaking. Yeah the Zack attack was his original finisher he did it a lot before swapping to the Rough Ryder. Probably because a reverse overdrive is only slightly better than a regular overdrive ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) heres a video of him doing it www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_OKOYUkBQECan someone please name every finisher Edge and Taker have had? I'm going to try to keep this to stuff that was at least around long enough to get a name. I know that Edge once used the Killswitch on Dolph Ziggler, and that Undertaker used the Flying Clothesline to put away King Kong Bundy, but stuff like that doesn't count. Edge: Downward Spiral Impaler Spear Impaler Edge O'Matic (Inverted X-Factor) Impaler Edgecution (Impaler DDT) Impaler Edgecator (Kneeling Sharpshooter) Impaler Conchairto Impaler Fixed for JR! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

I think that Big Show's standing leg drop across the neck someone mentioned a few posts back is/was called the "Hog Log" which is a horrible terrible name for a move.
Zack's reverse Overdrive is called the Zack Attack and should have never been replaced with the Rough Ryder.
Not a finisher, but Matt Hardy had a mid-match move called The Ricochet that I only recall him using a few times.

Still a bad name, but it makes slightly more sense. Ah, has anyone covered Big Show's camel clutch yet? He used that for a brief period as a finisher.

Matt Hardy very rarely used to hit Splash Mountain from the second rope as a "super finisher"

Did Taker ever use the Heart Punch as a finisher in WWE? Or was that just in the territories?

Jericho was using the enziguri as a finisher for a handful of matches in 2004. It then became his secondary finisher in the first SD vs raw, despite its short use

Rick Rude used a backbreaker in his first WWF matches. Didnt Million Dollar Man briefly use a fistdrop (delivered from an odd angle) as his finisher for a time? (He still used it in his moveset, but it wasnt used as a finisher anymore). To clarify, it wasn't a normal backbreaker as we think of it today that Rude used. It was the hanging backbreaker. An over-the-shoulder "rack" style submission. I hate calling it a "backbreaker" due to the confusion. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ATYcTuxxnZY/T9gUBsU-OwI/AAAAAAAAAbk/u5Sc7IRoHcQ/s1600/backbreaker.png)

I remember shortly after WM XX there was a Taker vs. Nunzio/Johnny Stamboli handicap match on Smackdown. Taker won via butterfly lock on Stamboli.
