This is what made prime ECW so great.
Every wrestler had his own unique finisher.
It just happened that every wrestler's own unique finisher was the DDT.

I'm fine with less impressive looking finishers as long as they look impactful. That's the reason I can buy into Ambrose's Headlock Driver. When done right, it looks like it could KO a person for a three second pin.
When finisher look bad or just weak, however, it can completely take a viewer out of the match. The Overdrive, for example, is probably the single worst finisher in the history of wrestling. There's no impact, the opponent's head is being cradled by the back of the user's knee and there's no way it could possibly hurt anyone. So to see that kind of move get a three count take me completely out of the moment, which is the exact opposite of what a finisher should do.
