Top Ten Current Finishers in WWE/TNA

This list contains what I feel are the top ten finishers in the WWE/TNA currently. Therefore no finishers which arent used anymore on a regular basis are included. This means that a move like the Tombstone is not in because the Undertaker is not an everyday wrestler. Lets get to the list.

10. Dominator by Bobby Lashley - He's the new monster in the WWE, and with every monster comes a big time finisher. Lesnar had the F5, Batista had the Tiger Bomb, Lashley has the dominator. Not a terribly complicated move, but still very effective and yet to have someone get up from.
9. 3D by Team 3D - One of the best tag team finishers ever. It can be hit from virtually everywhere and is easy to perform. Both members of the team are equally involved and it has knocked out many an opponent.
8. Cradle Shock by Chris Sabin - I have always liked this finisher. Its quick to perform and is great because it immediately puts the opponent in a pinning situation. What I like about it too is that it immediately gives Sabin an identity to break away from the cluster of X division performers.
7. Double Chokeslam by Kane/Big Show - One chokeslam has always been thought of as a dominating move, except for when the Hurricane tried using it which was dumb as hell. So two people executing the move simultaneously is a very devastating move which should upon impact defeat a competitor.
6. Styles Clash by AJ Styles - Awesome moved performed by the future of wrestling. The WWE missed the boat on him. The move is very innovative and I have seen it done from the top rope and that itself is a site to behold.
5. 619/West Coast Pop by Rey Mysterio - This is an incredible finisher combo. He has kind of overused the 619, but its still an awesome move. Its intruiging because only someone the size of Mysterio's caliber can pull it off, but it is still a sweet closing move.
4. Kenton Bomb/Green Bay Plunge by Mr Kennedy...Kennedy - I thought this was a really nice move when he debut it on Velocity. The only drawback is that I would like to see him do this to someone on a bigger size, but its still a move that is very impressive.
3. Muscle Buster/Choke by Samoa Joe - One of the more unique and dominating moves from one of the most original wrestlers in TNA today.
2. Canadian Destroyer by Petey Williams - How could anyone not love this move? It is one of the more absurdly thought out wrestling moves but is amazing to see be performed. A true innovative move.
1. C4, The Plank by Paul Birchall - So original. He took the Rock Bottom, decided it could use some flare, and added a flip to it. A flip! Sure it's dangerous, but its incredible to see. Fantastic move
