I have several problems with this list

1-Hogan Leg Drop, REALLY especially at No. 7, who the fuck made this list up, its just as bad to put the Rock's People's Elbow on here.

2-Some of these finishing moves are exactly the same like the RKO/Diamond Cutter, Scorpion Death Lock/Sharpshooter no need to waste a space being repetitive. There is also no difference between Lita's Moonsault and Bam Bam's except of the size of the person, plus Bam Bam's finish wasn't the moonsault it was the flying Headbutt

3-The Bionic Elbow-See no.1

4-Where are moves like the Fame-asser, the Curtain Call, The Shooting Star Press, Booker T's Axe Kick, which is better than alot of the moves on this list, The DDT, The 619.

This list needs a serious Revision...

[Kolic]

Couple of things I saw:

1) Lesnar's F-5 over Punk's GTS? They're both good, but why would they rank a flaky part-timer over their current Raw Heavyweight champ?

2) No Widow's Peak? Wow.

Side note: it wouldn't be on the list since Petey Williams hasn't wrestled for WWE, but the Canadian Destroyer is about the sickest finisher I've ever seen.

[Rob]

Jake's deserves to be on the list as it was an original move. Had it not been for an accident in a match, the DDT may never have existed.

As much as I like Punk, his GTS pales in comparison to KENTA's. The latter makes it look much better. For Punk, I'd say the Anaconda Vise, which also came from KENTA.

Gangrel's DDT was different enough that it could have been listed separately and beats a few finishers on the list.

[Rico]

I too prefer the Anaconda Vice over the GTS

[Icon Lord Jon Kellar]

I agree with Rico, it looks to me like they were struggling to come up with 50...

[Icon Lord Jon Kellar]

Also, I know it's WWE sponsored, but any "great finishing moves list" that doesn't factor in Japan is instantly rendered a joke.

[Rob]

Yep. Look at that Yakuza kick from Masahiro Chonou or Hayabusa's Phoenix splash. Genius

[Icon Lord Jon Kellar]

Or Kenta Kobashi's Burning Hammer. Only used 7 times, epic every time.

[Icon Lord Jon Kellar]

In fact just about anything Kenta Kobashi ever did to finish a match. He didn't like boring finishers!

[Rob]

Very right on that one.
