No. I'm sure I heard JR call it Taker Care of Business on more than one occasion. I have no proof, but I know it happened. Because it would "make more sense" that way, or something, according to WWE Logic. Hmmm.. well I remember it being called "Takin' care of business", but ok. I think one of the dumbest names was probablly "The New Jersey Naptime" by Droz. It just seemed too basic to me. I think one of the best, or most clever was "The Molly-go-round". That was a cool-looking finish, and fit her innocent girl character perfectly. Man she was hot. Oh...yeah, but I also think the moves with people's names in them are kinda lame ( Vaderbomb, Bossman slam, Michinoku-driver) Hey now! Vader anything is awesome, because no one does it like Vader can.

usually moves that has the wrestler's name in it, sounds kinda stupid. batistabomb? vaderbomb? it's a powerbomb nonetheless, just because it's a roided up batista who does it or a fat dude named vader doesn't change that fact. hate those silly names. also the worm is not only an incredibly stupid move, it has a stupid name as well.

the Outsider's Edge...wtf is that supposed to mean? WCW was too lazy to think of another name. That's what it means. The People's Elbow was bad enough, but the Corporate Elbow? Dudley Dog was pretty bad too.

JBL still calling his lariat "The Clothesline From Hell" is kinda dumb. He's not an Acolyte anymore so why still call it that? I came up with a better name for it in two seconds that better fits his evil Texas millionaire gimmick. The Lariat Hagman. Eh? Eh?

That's a far more embarassing name than Outsider's Edge, IMO. Atomic Leg Drop... What makes it so different from a regular Leg Drop? Axe Bomber... IT'S A FRIGGIN' CLOTHESLINE!!!

I'm pretty sure that Orlando Jordan had a move entitled "I'm Better Than You".
Well, that's probably what you'd expect from a guy whose signature taunt is air-writing his initials and catchphrase was "I'm the United States Champion! Not you!"

I think that's what Kanyon called his Flatliner during the InVasion (at least I think that's what JR screamed the one time he was allowed to use it)

I'd say Big Dick Dudley's "Total Penetration". I mean, come on! The "Acid Drop", though a cool name, is also a stupid name. Also the RKO, I mean, it's a guy's initials! HHH's finisher isn't the HHH, Austin's isn't the SCSA. And so on. Bad name for a good move. Acid Drop is an AWESOME name. And it makes sense. LSD. Little Spike Dudley. Mizard Of Oz takes it for me. ..Doesn't make any bit of sense.

The F-5 was pretty lame too. Why not the "Brock-Buster", "Brock 'n' Roll"... Or my personal favourite suggestion for the name "BLT". See 'cause Brock's initials a B & L & when he had the guy on his shoulders, it looked like... you get the idea. They could've even claimed it stood for "Brock Lesnar Tornado" or something... *sigh* What could've been...

Personally, I marked for the name and the move.

I think F-5 stands for the most powerful type of Tornado, but I could be wrong.

I think F-5 stands for the most powerful type of Tornado, but I could be wrong. It is, the strongest type of Tornado. And the spins the victim so it makes sense. ..Really.."Brock 'N Roll"? "Brock Buster?"

Ivory's facebuster was called "Poison Ivory." I always thought that was a horrible name.
