Favorite classic finishing move?

[Deleted]

for a single and a tag team........

for a team mine is the Road Warriors Doomsday Device.

for a single I gotta go with the stunner.honorable mentions include

Sweet Chin Music
Rock Bottom
Demolition Decapitation
Hart Attack
Diamond Cutter

[T R W]

At the time, Jake Robert's DDT was absolutely devastating. Especially before he got to the WWF.

The Stone Cold Stunner was a favorite, as was the Diamond Cutter.

I also really liked the Russian Sickle by Nikita Koloff, Tully Blanchard's Brainbuster, Flair's Figure Four, and Magnum TA's belly to belly suplex was great.

two more deserved mentions.I honestly thought Koloffs Sickle was really brutal looking.very well done

[T R W]

The NWA's intro video used to show a clip of Nikita giving the Sickle to Rocky King, and he did a 360. You didn't see stuff like that much back then.

[Mr. Old School™]

Single - The D.D.T.
Tag-Team - Demolition Decapitation

[roth630]

Singles: The DDT. Best move ever! Second I love the Million-Dollar Dream.

Tag-Team: The Hart Attack and The Power-Plex by Power and Glory!

[Burger Lad]

I always loved watching The Warlord put jobbers in the full nelson...and of course LOD Doomsday Device!

Warrior gorilla press and big splash combo always a favoutite! And Rick Rude's Rude Awakening!

As a tag team, I always loved the Doomsday Device and the Hart Attack.

As single, definitely the Sharpshooter.

Great list. The DDT was the devastating finisher of choice in school yard wrestling matches everywhere.

I've got to add Sting's stinger splash, scorpion deathlock combination. In particular, Sting got ridiculous air on the splash. It looked like he was crushing people.

Tag-Demolition Decapitation
Single-Ric Flair's Figure Four Leg Lock

yup just the daddy of Tag finishers I think.Im likeing the respect for Demolition Decapatation too

[Yeezy's Mullet: Team X Blades]

Singles: Ther Perfect Plex and The Diamond Cutter.

Tag Team: There's absolutely no classic tag team finsher that can top the Doomsday Device. It's still used in countless variations to this very day. But I'd be lying if I said that the Hart Attack wasn't my favorite.

[Zincdust]

For me, it was always the Fisherman's Suplex/PerfectPlex!

[Deleted]

I can't believe I forgot, and no one else has mentioned, Macho Man's flying elbow drop. A classic, definitive finisher.

[Dan88]

Tag - Doomsday, Single - The Pedigree.

Pedigree used to look alot more lethal than it does these days when he would hook there arms the whole way to the mat.
