Is it just me or did the Liontamer and the Crossface change? Let me explain.
Liontamer: The first time I remember seeing this, the opponent only had the side of his face resting on the mat and Jericho's knee was on the the guy's head. This looked more painful to me that basically the modified boston crab he did in the latter part of his career.
Crossface: Initially this move was applied with the one arm through Benoit's legs and the head turned away. Just thinking about that is painful. Now with the head turned towards the arm, as I've seen lately, seems more like a move you put on little brother to irritate him.
Also, because of the title of this post, I can't leave out Shane Helms. The Vertebraker was awesome. What happened to it?
Please list others that you can think of and let me know if I'm right or wrong about the two listed above.

I'm pretty sure the Undertaker didn't do the last ride until his biker gimmick. Dunno if that counts though.

Liontamer definitely changed.
Crossface isn't that much different.
And the Vertebraker is too dangerous. I like Shane and I'm sure he's safe, but there's a good chance of someone getting seriously hurt with it.

I don't blame them for not using it - they're running a company, you can't gave unprotected head bumps on your guys going on just to get a crowd reaction.

It is a cool move, but really dangerous, especially with larger opponents.

I enjoyed it when Jericho put that Tough Enough kid in the Lion Tamer though Actually, it was during that moment on Tough Enough in which Jericho explained why he changed it. The kid asked him why, and Jericho said it was because the original version was too painful. That's when he put Kenny into it.

How about Jake's Kneelift that turned into one of the greatest finishers ever, The DDT.
