Jeff Hardy's Swanton would really bother me at times due to how little contact he seemed to make certain times he used it. A straight senton or somersault senton makes sense given its a back splash, but the way Jeff rolled on the move it struck me as iffy.

Everyone saying that certain moves don't land correctly or don't have enough impact is silly to me. Pro wrestling is a performance art, it isn't supposed to hurt. For it to work perfectly, there should be some air shown in the more dangerous moves such as a Swanton or any flippy move.

Starship Pain. It looks terrible and it barely connects with the opponent This. Never seen it with any kind of impact that looked like it would even tickle. And one of my pet peaves is any finisher that can be escaped by a push -- RKO for instance. Even I could stop myself from being RKO'd by applying my decades of wrestling training to ... shove the guy.

A DDT when performed right can be pretty harmless but look devastating. I always felt the some of the best guys were ones that kept their opponents safe while making their moves look like death.

I really hate Kofi's Trouble in Paradise and Seth Rollins flying knee. For Seth I prefer the Blackout or the Skywalker to the flying knee

Reverse STO/Jumping Reverse STO. In essence, it's just a DDT except they land flat and not head first. Also, the person giving the Jumping STO takes more of the impact. There were like 5 guys using that finisher in 2009-2010

The Shellshock. While its an impressive visual, it doesn't pack the impact that a finisher should for a power wrestler like Ryback.

Starship Pain. It looks terrible and it barely connects with the opponent I dislike that move's name, as well. I don't like the headlock driver or Axel's finishing move.

I've never liked the Pedigree. Part of that's probably what it usually represents, but outside of that, it has basically no impact to it and looks awkward as hell to set up. Like, unless a guy is completely dead it makes no sense when they can't escape it.

The overdrive is what I came here to post, but the talk about the Big Ending made me think a bit.
What is it supposed to be? I can't tell if he's supposed to be pancaking the guy or driving his shoulder in the guy's gut.

I like it, as it's a cool visual, but at first it was pretty tough to make sense of, yeah.

I always assumed that the momentum and/or shock of the drop forces the opponent to bounce his own head into the mat and knock himself out.
