What moves can you think of are routinely performed by a wrestler but never got a proper name. I don't mean like a guy who does a dropkick because there's no reason to name that, but rather moves that aren't easy to identify and could use an official name.
Randy Orton's backbreaker - Orton's been doing this move for years and even did it to Freddie Prinze Jr, yet it remains nameless.
John Cena's spinning backdrop suplex-blue thunder - I call it the Protoplex which I believe was it's OVW name but it's one of Cena's most recognizable moves and yet it's never been named in WWE.
Jack Swagger's gutwrench powerbomb - This one bugs me because it could be as simple as the 'Swagger Bomb' but instead it's just refered to as a powerbomb.
Shelton Benjamin's T-Bone suplex - Despite JR calling it that, it wasn't really a T-Bone and seemed like it should have a more official name. At least he finally got Pay Dirt.
CM Punk's running knee and bulldog in the corner also feels like it could use a name, but I'm not sure what.

Has Edge or Christians like inverted neck breaker ever been named? I could be wrong, but I dont think it has.

I would've called Punk's Shining Wizard combo 'Drugged Up' But thats just my opinion. Oh and even worse than not having a name for a move, Santino has been in WWE 2 years now and doesn't even HAVE a finisher. |

I like Swagger's finisher. It seems to fit him well, the simple name works great.

I'm fine with some moves just called by their original name. But I think they could have called The Codebreaker, "The Error 404".

Why have a finisher if you're never going to win? |

I think they should call Orton's backbreaker "The Final Stretch"

When he goes behind them, wraps his arm around the guys neck/throat and drops them back first. |

Some names I made up -- but they suck anyways so...
Orton's Backbreaker -- Viper('s) Strike
Cena's blue thunder suplex -- Protoplex (like it should be, the Throwback even got named before this)
Swagger's Gutwrench -- On Your Knees (although he says that when doing the corner splash and despite the fact HE'S the one 'on his knees' when doing both the splash and powerbomb)
T-Bone Suplex -- Benji-plex (horrible I know) could use the name Shellplex as a homage to his early days
Also, the girl in your sig finisher (some modified neckbreaker), although she rarely wins and when she does she doesn't always use it, but it's not like she's used it only once. Also, I don't think Gail's cross-armed neckbreaker doesn't have a name in WWE, unless I just missed it being said.
But at least most the T-Bone and Gutwrench got their real names mentioned, sometimes a gimmicked name just won't work (*looks at ZigZag*)

i always call those moves my own names:
Shelton's -- "The Exploder" since it's sometimes called an exploder suplex
CM Punk's -- "Oil Spill" or "Double Grease" because he needs to use shampoo & conditioner more often
Cena's -- "205" because it usually gets a long two count & instead of saying two point five, i like how that sounds
Orton's -- "The Glass Eye" because if you take the move...your eyes will water up
Swagger's -- "A Bomb" because the all american american thing

Melina's inside crescent split legdrop.
Given her Hollywood "celebrity hounded by paparazzi" gimmick, I have dubbed it "Splitsville."

I remember when Joey Styles would change the name of everything to the guy who did it. Saturn does a moonsault? It's a Saturn-sault. Frogsplash? Saturn-splash. Pile driver? Saturn-driver.
It was kind of annoying.

It was kind of annoying. That's hilarious, just like Jim Ross trying to explain the difference between a powerbomb and a Batista bomb to Todd Grisham.  |

CM Punk's knee/bulldog combo should be called The Intervention.
