I'm more referring to one instance than a specific finisher or like, a clothesline. Bad example: Stone Cold Stunner Good example: the Stone Cold Stunner to The Rock in 2001 when he flipped backwards twice (video) You don't have to use videos, but they would probably help! It doesn't have to be a high spot or extreme thing, it could have storyline significance too. Here's my semi-obscure one, from early TNA. For how awful 90% of it was, the tag division was fire and XXX was one of the best freebirding teams I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hcx56zLs7I and the super obvious one - the Mankind Hell in a Cell fall. It wasn't even a wrestling move, but I got that King of the Ring on VHS before youtube existed to rewind and play that moment over and over and over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrLFQBDK_L4

Daniel Bryan hitting John Cena with a running knee at Summerslam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrn-k3TPel4 It was so unexpected and is one of the few moves that look like it'd legitimately gently caress someone up. The crowd going batshit insane didn't hurt either.

I've always had a major soft spot for Victoria's Widows Peak, and I can't believe I've never seen a male wrestler use it in a major promotion. It just looks so brutal, especially when it's sold well. It's one of my favorite finishers ever. I'm not sure when the actual matches are from, but specifically Mickie James always took it perfectly. She'd seat herself higher up on her back and then she'd sell it completely stunned afterward instead of immediately slumping forward like most opponents: In WWE In TNA Honorable Mentions: 1) Kagetora's absolutely perfect Cartwheel DDT to Shingo Takagi. 2) Why WWE stopped letting Apollo Crews do the Uhaa Combination is beyond me. It's the perfect showcase of his athleticism. 3) That one time Low Ki kicked Ziggler's head off.

ROH Final Battle 08. Bryan Danielson coming into the ring for his match with Morishima from behind, jumping him, dumping him in the crowd and then doing his placha into the crowd all as The Final Countdown plays. Amazing.

Perfect Plex on the Big Show. Good runner up would be literally any time Jake Roberts DDT'd someone. He makes that poo poo look brutal.

Fentry posted:Arn Anderson's spinebuster This is my favorite Arn spinebuster, because he had to retire years ago due to a broken-down body, and you can tell he was so hype to hit this move. That fist pump at the end makes the whole moment, like "yeah, I can still do my kickass spinebuster."

That spinebuster on Taker was one of the few times i've shouted at my TV just uncontrollably. Shad and JTG had a relatively fine but unremarkable match against... god it was either JBL and someone or maybe Cade and Murdoch, and out of nowhere JTG busted out a nearly perfect sling blade. I know he later turned it into a finisher but man it looked great. E: and yeah someone said earlier but Scott Hall sold stunners like he was in a bouncy castle. It ruled.
