The People's Elbow was the lamest finisher in the history of all finishers. Only Hogan's leg drop came close as a runner up in this category. The Mandilbe Claw/Mr. Socko gets an honorable mention as well. Let's not forget the W-0-R-M either. I mean, come on! An elbow drop? A leg drop? Inducing vomiting? Blocking any of those moves as finishers is simple. Roll out of the way. Kick him in the nads. Do anything, but get out of the way, and presto! You're safe! Lame and lamer. I gotta disagree with you about the mandible claw. It may not look like much, but it hurts like a bitch. Seriously, he jams his fingers underneath your tongue, sticks his thumb underneath your jaw, and squeezes as hard as he can. Try doing this to yourself before you critizize it.

Any time someone uses a Reverse STO as a finisher. At one point this was one of the generic finishers people were using when no one had given them anything better yet. Then they moved to the backcracker and overdrive.
Also Orlando Jordan used it, the definition of generic. It even had a name, "The Greatest Move Ever"

I am so sick of people saying the FU looks weak. As far as kayfabe, to me it looks no weaker than a stunner, or an Angle Slam, or a Rock Bottom. What if people think all of those are crap, too?

the playmaker
I EFFING HATE THE OVERDRIVE
the FU has been hit more like a powerslam and the drop is the same as an Angle Slam, Muscle Buster, or powerbomb. I mean it's a fall to the back i think it's people more hating on the wrestler.
It's way more devastating than the STyles Clash.
Seriously that move too I hate it, there's no impact on the dude it's all on AJ's legs..
Oh one more move i seriously can't stand is the kokiina clutch. So everybody rags on orton for using chinlocks, Joe uses it to end a match

Seriously? I think it's one of the most exciting finishers in the WWE today. I was being sarcastic. Oh. So that's what the winky smiley is for...

Back on-topic, I wish MVP would add more suplexes to his arsenal so he could switch the Playmaker to a near-fall move a la the Side Effect, and use the yakuza kick as his primary finisher of choice.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XskY_LDRlUSome look weak but honestly Rock Bottom seems like a viable finisher to me. Music sucks on that vid tho. The Overdrive/Playmaker SUCKS, ever since Elix Skipper's WCW days. The FU is a great transition move, not a finisher. The Stroke sucks nards. Edge's running hug can look REALLY weak sometimes.

After watching the video, the Rock Bottom makes sense when he grabs the guys throat to do it, but other times it looks like he's grabbing the guys shoulder, making it painfully obvious that the move only works because the other guy jumps and then takes a bump.

A hammerlock hurts like hell and could make someone submit too, wouldn't be a good finisher though.

Current? The Samoan Spike, no contest. I disagree, someone swinging their thumb at you and hitting you in the throat is going to hurt. Worst of all time is easily The Worm. So someone hitting you in the throat with their thumb is going to hurt, but someone jumping and landing with all their weight on a chop to your throat wouldn't hurt?

Frankly, with the exception of JBL, I never bought anyone using a clothesline as a finisher (Jim Duggen, Outback Jack). Slaughter's "Noogie of Doom" Texas Tonrnado punch. Nikita Kolloffs Russian Sickle is better than the Clothesline from Hell any day of the week. Twice on Sundays.

Rock Bottom I like because it can be hit from out of nowhere, like the Diamond Cutter or RKO. And it always meant lights out.
Bad finishers......the TKO, the Write Off Clothesline, Go To Sleep, West Coast Pop, and, I love the guy, but the Green Bay Plunge.
