It is, the strongest type of Tornado. And the spins the victim so it makes sense. ..Really.."Brock 'N Roll"? "Brock Buster?" Come on, tell me you wouldn't mark for Brock Lesnar doing a Chuck Berry gimmick. Brock doing the duck walk would go beyond awesomeness.

If it was the "Brock Lesnar Tornado", could Matt Hardy still slap it, or would he still job to it?

How about the Birdman's "Ghostbuster". I could see if his gimmick was an Ernie Hudson impersonation, then ok

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? The best I came up with Clothesline From Wallstreet

I think the stupidest name is the Stevie-T, though that clearly falls into the "so dumb it's kind of brilliant" category. Other nominations for this category: Haas of Pain, Nightmare on Helms Street, ICONOCLASM, Ghetto Stomp, Ghanarhea. This is what happens when nerds become professional wrestlers: they start giving their moves names like Ghanarhea.
Really, the worst names are the ones that are confusing. I always hated "The Curtain Call." Curtain calls are usually in PLAYS! Goldust was obsessed with MOVIES! There are ten thousand cool movie-related terms they could have used and araraggghghgh
Also: RKO. I know it's his initials, but it's also the name of a famous old film studio, and Orton connects to that kind of thing in not one single way that I can understand. Same deal with Mushroom Stomp: is it because Mario stomps on things, and Mario also eats mushrooms? But he never stomps ON mushrooms!! God, I need to go lie down.

I actually love the names of the most of the moves mentioned.
However, I don't like the fact now that one of Jimmy Rave's moves is actually called "Formerly Known as Ghanarhea", or at least that's what it seems like.
I'm not a big fan of unoriginal names. Doesn't someone in ROH have a move called "Here it is" or something, I think it's Matt Sydal. Stuff like that, I mean, be a little more original.
Believe me, if I was a wrestler, I would come up with the most ridiculous names for my big moves.

I don't think RKO has anything to do with RKO studios, but the move the TKO

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!" It was a Flatliner and it was called (and I kid you not) "The Greatest Move Ever!!!!!!!!"

How in the hell did no one mention "The One And Only" yet? It's a friggin' DESCRIPTION, not a move! Although the Fameasser isn't much better, either.
Also, who was it that called the F5 the Browser Refresh? At least that's chuckle-worthy the first time.

Sad part is in WM 2000 and WWF No Mercy, THQ called it "Insider's Edge" It was also named that on SmackDown!2. 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!!! Axe Bomber is not just a friggin' clothesline. It's a running forearm smash to the face. And when done properly it's awesome, and it has an awesome name too.
