I don't care who gets it, but someone needs to pick up Rikishi's Fire-Thunder Driver. I saw someone mention Bam Bam's Greetings from Asbury Park but I always found that to be more of a reverse Derailer. Explain they look to be pretty much the same move

Derailer was the Albert Bomb, the backbreaker move was called the Trainwreck.

I always liked the look of Tito Santana's finisher he used as El Matador - where the opponent would be standing in the centre of the ring bent over, and Santana would come off the rope from the side and hit a Mexican Hammer-like punch to the back of the guy's head. The point of the move was sold as the impact of the punch on the back of the head, but the way Shawn Michaels sold it at WrestleMania VIII was more the impact of the opponent's face being driven into the mat.
As a kid I thought that looked awesome, but I don't think it ever got used after the El Matador gimmick ended. I used it when play wrestling (Don't Try This At Home) and called it "The Final Nail", which I thought was rather good both for a finisher and the type of move it was.
Basically anyone could adopt it as a finisher, though it might fit best with Barrett's current tough-guy puncher gimmick; though it might work better for a face given it is quite dynamic and should get a decent crowd reaction when it is suddenly hit in a big match.

I want to see a lot more submissions..
The Koji Clutch is excellent. I think Punk made it look great and I think its great for a smaller guy to use effectively on most people.
Nigel McGuinness' old Armbar Camel Clutch move that's name escapes me. Very simple yet very effective as you're sitting on someone's back while twisting the arm in a very unnatural way.
The Stretch Muffler/Horse Collar/Brock Lock should be put to use. There's so many ways that it can be applied too, that just about anyone of any size can use it.
Cattle Mutilation should be used more, just so Cole/Lawler have to call it right. In fact, I'd lol hard if right before Bryan hooked it, he looked at the broadcast desk and yelled "Cattle Mutilation!"
Similarly, if we ever get smart ass Daniel Bryan again, I want to see him respond to boring chants with "THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH!!!"
Last but not least, with DiBiase on the outs as it appears, I think its time for someone to pick up the Cobra Clutch.

I think someone should use Luther Reigns' old finisher. It was an inverted facelock swung into a DDT/facebuster.

I don't care who it is, but someone needs to have the Rude Awakening as a finisher. It would suit Dolph. Sandow. His mannerisms would suit it perfectly. Just before he drops them down, he yells some piece of obscure trivia in their ear. Perfect.

Given the trend of having once transitional/heat moves becoming finisher, I'd stumped as to why no one has picked up the Samoan Drop as one of those 'out of nowhere' moves. I get there's a modicum of clash with AA/GTS with the set-up, but the drop differs itself enough. I guess there's the Wasteland too, but that seems to be getting de-emphasized.
I could Titus or Roman adopt the Samoan Drop as some sort of lead-on from a flapjack, or reversal to the more high-flying elements of the roster.
Del Rio's Enzigiri'd be perfect to complement his face-turn. Ideal for a comeback finisher.

I can't see Barrett leaping up and doing that.

Maybe Big Show could adopt it instead

Wade Barrett has the worst finisher known to god in the entire wrestling business. 3 yr olds wrestling outside in the frontyard laugh at his finisher. Who gives a hit about Wade Barrett tho!! I vote CM Punk for a new finisher. CM Punk has it all but the GTS has just never worked 4 me. Both wrestlers have to be perfect to make it look good. It hardly ever gets sold correctly.
