The Pounce was even better in TNA in the 6-sided ring. The angle he was able to do it from made the move look even more devastating.

[RealRain]

Sean o'haire was ahead of his time and im always happy to see he's not forgotten

[GameFanaTICK]

Rhino's "Gore" Spear was by far the most devastating spear in my personal opinion.

[TheNightOwlKS]

One I don't see get mentioned often enough is Matt Morgan's Hellevator (Vertical Suplex drop into an Uranage Slam), also used by NJPW's Hirooki Goto, known as the Shouten Kai.

[cheezeofages]

Honerable Mention: When he could actually do it smoothly, Ezekiel Jackson's "Book of Ezekiel" was pretty nifty looking because a good sell had the victim curl around his arm a little and he'd throw them down without moving himself like most Uranage slams. Looked brutal when it worked, sluggish and clunky when it didn't.

People don’t talk enough about how WWE fumbled the bag with Ultimo Dragon and Sean O’Haire. Maybe things could’ve even ended a little bit better for the latter. RIP Sean O’Haire

[jameshunt]

Marcus actually left to take care of his sister and her kids so he never retreated. He left because family was more important. So i respect that

[eriklarson]

Honorable mention: Paul Burchill’s Walking the Plank/C4. Didn’t make much sense logically since the receiving wrestler had to do a flip along with him, but it sure looked cool.
Also Cedric Alexander’s Lumbar Check.

I loved Ultimo Dragons finisher. Smack Down Here Comes The Pain memories 🔥🔥🔥

[kevinhousen]

The Pounce was one of the greatest Finisher ever. Period

[benironside]

O’haire was my boy.. still can’t believe he didn’t end up the next big thing

[ImagineABear]

One move I never see people talk about was Sylvain Grenier's 3 Seconds of Fame. It was simple, a vertical suplex dropped into a DDT. I really liked it.

[aaronknowles]

Saying the Train Wreck is a much better finish than the Baldo Bomb is like saying the Rock’s shoulder breaker was the superior move to the Rock Bottom.

[Ariurotl]

Reks's Burning Hammer was the first thing to come to mind before I watched the video. Nice to see it made the list.

Matt Bloom, aka Albert aka A-Train, pretty much failed miserably in WWE as a wrestler, especially during his second sting in WWE as Tensai. However, he ultimately found his way to huge success in another field of work in WWE. As we all know, Bloom has been head trainer at Performance Center since May 2015, when he replaced Bill DeMott, where he helped train numerous past and present WWE Superstars. I read somewhere recently that that he will soon be officially promoted to position of Executive Vice President in charge of training, although he has been effectively doing this since 2015.

Justin Gabriel had one of the best 450 splashes ever. He would always sell it like it really did damage to himself. That's why when the nexus would beat someone up, his 450 was done last after wade barrets wasteland.

[ThunderFist]

Luther Reign’s Reign of Terror looks a great deal like the Crossrhodes, which I always thought looked devastating.

[marybonner]

Simon Dean was a fun character back in the day. I didn't realise he had such sick finishers, I totally forgot about them. The spirit squad's finisher I do remember, definitely looks much sore to take now than back then.

[Clarkarias]

Matt Bloom is a massively underrated wrestler. There is a reason he is where is today.

[unstablebrother]

Man Darren Young was super underrated! Would be cool to see him back for one more run
