Anyone remember the Beverly Bomb?
The Beverly Brothers would hit this move (a BAAAAAAAAAAACK body-drop into a facebuster-like move) and I would cringe every time.
I also marked for the Steiner Brothers' top-rope bulldog move, the Hart Attack, the British Bulldogs' (and apparently the Powers of Pain's) running powerslam/diving headbutt combo, the Natural Disasters' double splash (first Typhoon, then 'Quake), the Midnight Express's (and later, Too Cool's and I believe America's Most Wanted's) Veg-O-Matic, and of course, Total Elimination.
Honorable mention goes to any of the times Small Guy would dive off of Tall Guy's shoulders. (HBK/Nash, Spike/Show, etc.) I always just thought that looked cool.
Worst? Yeah, the Battering Ram sucked, as did their alternate finish, the double-gutbuster; the Nasty Boys' powerslam/elbowdrop combinatin always had potential, but Sags always seemed to screw up the elbow; and I have to agree with the RnR Express's double dropkick. Always seemed kinda lame to me.

Hart Attack. Classic. Worst: That stupid dropkick/spinebuster that Cade and Jindrak used when they were a team on Heat. I think they used a Doomsday Dropkick at one time. I liked the Naturals' version of that with the missile dropkick/powerbomb. Except for that time that they botched it terribly at Genesis. |

The Armageddon finisher, which was a backdrop into a powerbomb. Simple, and sweet.

Best: Hart Attack Total Elimination Doomsday Device Powerplex Slingshot Clotheline (Conquistadors. Yes they had a finisher.) Worst: Battering Ram Double Dropkick (R&R Express. They got no further up than the waist) Powerslam (Young Stallions. Powers would send guy into the ropes, Roma powerslammed him. Big whoop.) Any team where the finisher is just a combination of the two partner's individual finishers.In what way do you mean that? Like the Benoit/Jericho finish or the "New" DX finish? Or just all entirely? |

Worst, I agree with X Marks the Spot. Then again, everything about X Factor was awful. Everything, except for the bad ass entrance. |

I'm going to go with the Gymini's Cross Trainer as my least favorite tag finisher that I can remember the name of. Very underwhelming finisher from two very underwhelming wrestlers.
Some of my personal favorites that I've seen first hand,
- La Resistance's 'Au Revoir' neckbreaker and side slam manuver, along with their double STO combo, the name of which escapes me,
- Cade and Murdoch's 'High-Low' double lariat,
- WGTT's Superkick and German Suplex with bridge,
- Benoit and Angle's Crossface/Ankle Lock combo,
- Benoit and Jericho's Crossface/Liontamer combo,
- Total Elimination double leg lariat

Blue Meanie and Nova had the coolest tag team move ever that I can't believe no one ever stole. The Blue Light Special. A wheel barrel, DDT type. I can't really describe it but it's super neat-o.

Worst: Any team where the finisher is just a combination of the two partner's individual finishers. But this is what I loved about Money, Inc. Rotundo would do a set-up of just about every finisher he had ever used in the course of his career, and then Dibiase would clamp on the Million Dollar Dream, often a few feet away from the jobber's partner, who would calmly wait and not interfere while his partner was put to sleep. Actually this description doesn't sound very good... |

My favorite is the Headbangers' stage dive--A powerbomb by Thrasher followed by an almost simultaneous flipping leg drop from Mosh. I loved the Headbangers, definitely my favorite tag team of all time.

I liked when The Spirit Squad would each take an ankle or wrist, then launch the guy straight up in the air and then slam him back down. It looked cool when they did it to Big Show, it looked awesome when they got HBK about 10 feet up in the air.

Any finishers involving double dropkicks are pretty lame.
High Spirits was a good move, I liked the 3D...and, as an MNM mark, the Snapshot will always have a place in my smarky heart. The camera taunt before the lead-up. That taunt reminds me of the old movie cam thing the Hollywood Blondes would do, and for that reason, I mark for the taunt similarly to the move.

The Benoit/Jericho thing is pretty cool but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about when one partner hits his finisher, tags out, that guy hits his finisher, pin. In retrospect I didn't explain that very well the first time. |

Le Bombe de Rougeau ruled. Hitting a guy full force in the face with your schmeckie. Right on. Raymond must have been packing a tree. |
