I'm a very big fan of people winning matches with non finishers.
I remember the original ECW being very well known for that when I was watching.
The DDT also seemed like the universal finishing move in ECW at the time. It won a lot of matches.

I always enjoy non-finishers ending matches. Adds to the future tension when the move is used if it can occasionly pick up a pinfall.
Edge once pinned Orton with the Edge O'Matic Drew pinning Baretta after a superplex Kofi has pinned one or two people with his crossbody before Barrett used his Bossman Slam once or twice to get the win

Cody beat Santino with the Alabama Slam not too long ago.
In 2011, Christian beat Sheamus (when they were both heels, obviously) by dropping him face first onto the turnbuckle if I remember correctly.

I always recall Cena beating Orlando Jordan with the 5-Knuckle Shuffle on SmackDown! in 2005. Which is kind of ironic if you think about it. ...Because gay guys masturbate?

Morrison won a few matches with his running knee move. I wish they had just made that his finisher instead of Starship Pain. I always had a soft spot for the moonlight drive

Kozlov beating undertaker with a scoop slam(?) while he was going for old school... Imagine seeing that finish at this years mania.

One that's forgotten because you know why: Benoit beating MVP at WrestleMania 23 with the diving headbutt. I came in just to mention this one. I was like eh? thats it when it happened.

We're talking about non-finisher moves that end matches but for some of these that have happened serveral times....at what point does it become a finisher?

I could be making this up, but I have a vague memory of Flair beating one of the Spirit Squad with a chop.
