Did Funaki have a finisher? Couldn’t remember if he had one on the Smackdown 2 game either. I can’t remember the exact timeframe but pretty sure it was during the bad dubbing “INDEEEEEED!” gimmick. Either way, KaiEnTai won a tag match on a C-show of some description (I wanna say it was Heat but can’t be sure) and Funaki got the fall with what I thought was actually a pretty sweet finish. Similar to Masato Tanaka’s Diamond Dust (basically a somersault stunner from the top rope) but instead of landing in a sit-down stunner position, Funaki landed in a flat-back position so it was kind of a somersault DDT if that makes sense? Was never in any of the video games (although he had the Diamond Dust as a corner finisher in No Mercy) which was a shame because I wanted it for my CAW. Never seen anyone else do it before or since.

This was one of the main reasons I loved Worldwide. I’d get to actually see jobbers and lower card guys actually have competitive matches.

He actually did have it as a corner move in SmackDown 2, hit like the somersault cutter rather than the stunner. I know the move was kept in the games until at least HCTP, because my Naito CAW has it as it's the closest thing to the Esperanza.

(Damian) got the pin in a match against Harlem Heat where he pinned Booker T with a top rope splash I never knew about that match. But I looked up Damian on cagematch and it said one of his finishers was a muscle buster, which I do remember him attempting a few times. Maybe he put a jobber away with it on one of the D-shows (results for those aren't comprehensive), but I don't know if it happened or it's just suggestive memory. And then a guy I forgot about, Super Calo. One time he randomly got a submission win over La Parka in a 6 man tag with a step over toehold/shoulderlock. He also won a couple jobber matches with that ankle scissor off the top rope he did.

What about those wrestlers who won plenty of matches, but didn't usually do the same thing twice? I'm thinking Hakushi, here, but there are probably others. Did he ever have anything like a clear finisher?

I'm bumping this because I found the match where El Dandy won with a right haymaker and I'm just so happy to know I didn't hallucinate it.

Now, did Rosa Mendes have a finisher? I think at Survivor Series she eliminated someone with a snapmare of all things

Rick Fuller who I always saw as the big guy who lost had the Fire Thunder as his finisher.

Roadblock actually had another equally stupid finisher. That's actually not half bad a move.

The Dog (Al Greene) used the same move, but he had to have Finlay or Knobbs pass the guy up to him before he could hit it. Stupid, but in a different way.
But then, the opponent blatantly has to hold themselves up for Kris Statlander's Big Bang Theory/Saturday Night Fever, and no one beside me seems to care.

At least with Statlander she keeps one arm around the waist/back as she hooks her other arm around the first leg. Then she’s holding that leg when she repositions the arm from the waist/back to the other leg. She pretty strong so I can suspend my disbelief there. Roadblock on the other hand has no hands on the dude.

The Mean Street Posse might be the only ones who didn't have finishers in The Attitude Era given that they lost all their matches.

It was a similar to the Baldo Bomb, and it was called the gas mask because he put his hand over your face like a gas mask.
Rodney also had a finisher, High Society, which was basically just Buff Bagwell's Buff Blockbuster.
