I think the Jumping Complete Shot is slightly worse than the Overdrive as the Overdrive looks like it doesn't do anything, the Jumping Complete Shot looks like it hurts the guy doing it much more than the victim. I quite like the Inverted Overdrive though... Agreed with the jumping Complete Shot. I don't mind it when it's more like the Flatliner/Downward Spiral, but the jumping version is pretty awful.

I'm not being a dick here, but so many people say this, and I have never once seen him do it as a DVD. It's always been a fireman's carry slam when I've seen him do it. Do you have any footage of it being a DVD? Here's his first ever one. The commentators (Cole and Tazz) called it a Death Valley Driver at the time. Cena got on the mic after the match and announced it was called an FU... 'cause Brock. Sorry for the video quality, I'm exhausted and couldn't be bothered seeking out a better video to gif. Touche salesman.

Not the 'worst' but always hated The People's Elbow. Also just remembered Khali's karate chop thing, that was (is???) complete rubbish. Who are you to question brain chops??? Though I did always have mixed feelings about Umaga's finisher. It just looked awkward as a wrestling finishers, but IRL I could envision having someone jam their thumb into you're Adam's apple as being pretty unpleasant. For Umaga's finisher and The Cobra- they both have the "shot right to the Adam's Apple" finish that may be unpleasant- however, the thread was started with the concept of the worst finisher ever being The Worm. The Worm, however, is ALSO a shot right to the Adam's Apple, and as such it would be a BETTER finisher than both Umaga's move and the Cobra, both in "wrestling logic" (moves at a bit of a running start/falling start are sold as having more momentum, so it's arguable the breakdance start gives it more momentum) and arguable actual real-fighting logic (Umaga and Santino are doing their move to a standing opponent who has a chance to move their neck, grab the guy's arm, or block the hold, pushing slightly outward, and taking a few valuable seconds to get the wind knocked out of him. Scotty 2 Hotty, on the other hand, is doing The Worm to an opponent that's on the ground (meaning the opponent will have even worse wind due to the ground's give against their neck), meaning that the opponent would have only one realistic way to block the chop (and even that'll just slap him in the mouth), and since they're already grounded, it's theoretically a mere formality the chop would be enough to make the guy lose his breath to get a three count (and if they can stay down for the whole dance, they're OUT.) Therefore, in the martial art of pro wrestling logic, The Worm > the Cobra and Umaga's move, meaning they belong.

The Bushwhacker Battering Ram, bumping into someone while holding your partner in a face lock.
It's like walking up to someone and shoving them, except not as effective.

Agreed with Bushwhackers' battering ram, Booger's crotch drop and Slaughter's Noogie

Scotty 2 Hotty's bulldog was the most devastating move in the history of the business. It'd keep guys down for the entirety of that dance, unmoving. He should've challenged Taker at Mania and covered him off the bulldog, we'd have the Worm Incarnate.

Big Show's WMD. An extremely regular looking punch that sometimes isn't as showy as the regular punches that are shrugged off earlier in the match. To be fair, I think Show softens the WMD so he won't kill anybody.

Byron Saxton's "Let's Go This Way Just Kidding I Changed My Mind Actually Let's Do This" is the worst finish I've ever seen. i remember him doing it in a NXT episode and Chris Masters had the expression of "WTF was that"

Samoan Spike, purely because I remember once the finish was him catching RVD mid splash, despite the fact that Rob actually landed so he still took the full splash, and him being so insistent on using his right hand that when he positioned wrong, Rob had to do a full 180 for no reason and it looked like stupid on a shit.

Just rename this thread "All of Wade Barrett's Finishers"... A running elbow to the face doesn't work? Granted I would rather see a Rolling version, but still.
