I am certain that threads about this were made, but I just want to know if there has been any finishers that have this beat. I know that finishing moves are supposed to be the show-stopper and there has to be an impact about it in order to sell that it can end a match. The same can be said about submission finishers because the move has to look painful enough to make someone submit to said hold.
However, I have never seen any credibility about the Overdrive. Sure, it can be argued about Edge's Spear (As stated in the thread about that move) or even the Attitude Adjustment, but at least with the latter, you are falling on your back from high in the air. With the Overdrive, I never saw what it was supposed to do. So you grab your opponent's wrist while having your leg over the opponent's neck, and then you flip the person over? I don't know if it's supposed to add any effect to the neck, but it doesn't even look like it could break your neck either.
What do you think?

His gimmick is bashing Wyatt, lol. Sister Abigail looked brutal when Jericho's head smashed on the mat. Nothing remotely near the Overdrive.

Sorry, but the move looks like it has absolutely no impact. All you have to do is put your hands up and boom. You're good. I'm not a gimmick. I just like nothing about the man lol

I agree it's a pretty bad one. Reminds me a bit of MVP's Playmaker which also didn't look too great.
Hmmm, lamest finisher ever, that's tough. Especially since if we mean ever, to me as a fan of the modern-ish style, I'd probably find several really oldschool finishers to be kind of lame.

Not even close. Here are some Examples of lamer ones of the top of my head. Kelly Kelly had a roll up as hat finsher for a while. The cobra was also way lamer. Frankly I think the frog splash is much lamer.
I forgot the worm and the big splash But felt like both deserve mention here.

Wade Barrett's Wasteland in 2010 has to be it for me.
The dude does this violent scream and makes you think you're about to see something brutal before doing some shit that looks like a trampoline wrestler's self-made finisher.

It's why I think Show and Barrett should have swapped finishers in 2010. Also, worst finisher:

It's definitely one of them.
Another lame finisher that comes to mind was Shane Douglas' Franchiser jawbreaker. Also the Complete Shot.

I'm not even sure what the Overdrive is supposed to accomplish, so it's definitely a strong candidate.

It's supposed to be sort of a neckbreaker with their head tucked between their calf and hamstring against the knee.
Bu like....why is that any better than a regular neckbreaker. In fact it's much harder to do (you have to STAND ON ONE FOOT for crissakes) and they never get the head locked in right, so the guy taking the move sort of just falls over.
Total bullshit move, done for "whoa that was different" rather than making any sort of sense.

It just looks like a move in which you know is a wrestling move. Like, a move designed to look cool that doesn't look damaging, is too complicated and looks lame. Those are the 3 no-nos for finishers.
