Moves That A lot of People Do, But who Does it Best?

I'm always amazed at how many people use the super kick now. HBK will always be my favorite to use it. But damn it does dolph hands out a great looking super kick.

Kane always had the best chokeslam IMO

Ortons drop kick and slam on running opponents.

I feel kinda weird for saying this. Ceasaro and his sharp shooter.

Undertaker does the best DDT

IMHO, nobody will ever match RVD for hitting the frog splash. He always seemed to go just a little bit higher than anyone else and he frequently added a 90 degree turn in mid air. Eddie Guerrero is a close second. There is a female indie wrestler named Rosa Negra that I've seen hit a damn good frog splash but I haven't seen enough of her matches to say she is consistently great at it. Everybody else's frog splash is just average.

DDP's diamond cutter > Randy Orton's RKO.

Wow lots of the obvious choices are already been pointed out already makes it harder to choose. The Young Bucks, Okada and Undertaker and maybe more all do the tombstone piledriver whether it's a variation of the move but in my option Undertaker does it the best. As everyone else said Shawn does a better super kick hands down and RVD does a sick frog splash.

Hard to not say Steve Austin and the Stunner.

Great topic! And one that should spark quite the interesting range of opinions. Its worth noting how so many moves can have one definitive guy who sticks out as THE most proficient and others have a number of potential superstars to make the claim. Its also interesting to see how some of those moves have transformed from feared finishers to just another spot in a moveset. Case in point, for my money, Del Rio throws the best enziguri out there. Its crisp and seems impactful when he does it. But, its never used as a finisher. Occasionally its used to turn momentum to his favor in a bout, but thats about the extent of it. Whereas Bad News Brown would use it as a finisher (the "Ghetto Blaster" as it was called) and when Owen Hart used it on HBK in 95, it was a dramatic and pivotal moment on RAW. Yet Del Rio's version, for all its beauty, is not used in the same manner.

Other moves have had multitudes of performers use them. Opening the door for true debate. Heres a few that i think really come to mind when i think of moves that could really have a tight race on their hands for title of being the best.

Powerbomb....the go to finisher for anyone between 6'7" -7' tall. Guys like Batista, Kevin Nash, and in modern era, Kevin Owens all have their own unique takes on it. Even the Undertaker adopted his own version of it during the ABA days. But for whatever reason, i always considered Sid to have the definitive powerbomb. Possibly because he was the first in North America to really use it on a big level. His version was both basic and more "vicious" (pardon the pun) than anyones that came after.

DDT.....perhaps regarded as the most devastating of finishing moves during the 80s, you would be hard pressed to argue that its originator, Jake Roberts, was anything but the best at it. Since then though, several guys adopted and adapted it. More than probably any other move. But, out of all those people, there are really only a few that adapted it to their style enough to give Jake any run for his money. Michael Hayes, Arn Anderson, Cactus Jack, and Randy Ortons hanging rope variation all seem to have been the best of the rest in the DDT department.

The Superkick......its become so synonymous with Shawn Michaels, there almost no way to place anyones above his. And i wont. The importance of his Sweet Chin Music grew leaps and bounds from his early solo heel days to the HBK we all came to enjoy watching later. But prior to Shawns use of the superkick, i was very partial to Chris Adams more martial arts influenced version during his World Class days. As mentioned, Ziggler throws a great looking one, and the pre Grandmaster Sexay version of Brian Christopher had one on par with Michaels too.

Top rope elbow drop.....Kind of a toss up for me here. Kayfabe wise, Randy Savage should hold the top spot. When he hit you with that ,you were done. Period......Hogan being the exception of course. But his elbow netted the most results in the win column for a number of years. The flipside is HBKs version , not as succesful as Savages, it did however occasionally garner him a victory. But Shawns was executed a little better IMO. Punk coud launch a respectable one himself, but it kind of seemed like nothing more than fan service to Savage really . So its a toss up between Savage and Michaels.

There are more of course, but I'll leave you guys to compile your picks instead of naming more myself.

Awesome topic

It is not the most exciting move in the world, but I am going with a suplex by Bret Hart. Pretty much every wrestler does a suplex, but Bret Hart just did it better than everyone else.
