I thought I'd start a thread to discuss who does what moves -- not finishers that are exclusive to pretty much one Superstar (or Diva), but more common ones -- the best.
I'll start with two:
Best Uppercut: Kane.
His look absolutely savage, vicious and downright painful. Almost every single time. A lot of people do this, but none as well as Kane.
Best dropkick: AJ Styles.
Completely textbook. Near perfection pretty much every time. He usually does exactly one per match, and it looks like something out of a "how to" guide. Everyone who goes to the Performance Center should spend time watching this on tape and trying to replicate it.
Any others?

It technically fits in since it isn't really a finisher, but Samoa Joe's Corner Uranage is something that I've always absolutely loved.

Best Splash: Big E. It's a thing of beauty.

An obvious one to me: Randy Savage's elbow off the top corner turnbuckle. Often imitated, never duplicated.
EDIT: Obviously a finisher back in his day, but not so much over the years and tons of guys have pulled it out at one time or another.

I will vehemently disagree on the upper cut assertion....

Best Irish Whip - Three way tie between Sheamus, Finn Balor, and Becky Lynch.

Agree wholeheartedly on Kane's "throat thrust"
I have always been a big fan of triple Hs strikes, specifically the slow, drawn out punches to the head

Half the current roster does one these days, but nobody will ever have a better Superkick than HBK.

Best Splash: Big E. It's a thing of beauty. Ryback's is decent, but Big E seems to get more air on it.

I've seen Randy Orton do some pretty drop kicks.
Bret Hart punches was a thing of beauty.

Everyone who goes to the Performance Center should spend time watching this on tape and trying to replicate it. Any others? Styles' is fantastic, best in WWE, but it's second best in the world. If you appreciate a great dropkick, you have to see Okada's.

Noone's DDT looks like it murdered someone more than Paige's

Bret Hart's backbreaker. Asuka's rolling armbar. Dean Malenko's German suplex.

Brock Lesnar throwing a guy across the ring with his snap suplex is majestic.

Bret Hart's backbreaker. Asuka's rolling armbar. Dean Malenko's German suplex. If we're talking WWE only, I like this. As much as I appreciate Asuka (and I mean quite a bit), ZSJ does a pretty mean rolling armbar too.

I think Orton does the best dropkicks.
