I always liked Scott Steiner's FrankenSteiner!  Good combination of timing, agility, and power!
When he was younger that guy sure was mean. A suplex monster.

Not being sarcastic or trying to stir up shit, but I always liked the Crippler-Crossface.

The move could be done anywhere. Many finishers require the “give” of a ring – and oftentimes the softest spot in the center, which usually telegraphs its execution.

And Benoit could hit that thing from any angle/position, which alays made its application surprising. He could get into it from a choke-slam, a high spot, rest hold, or just about anything really.

Despite the tragic events of a few years ago, Benoit was a talented worker whose best matches were with guys like Malenko, Guerrero, Angle, Tiger Mask II, etc., but he could have a good match with anyone.

I personally liked the DDT best because it could be performed by a smaller wrestler, and gravity could do the rest.  I realize that in time, the DDT became more of a set-up move, but it was great in its day.

I preferred the DDT before guys started selling it with somersaults.

I miss some of the old finishers mentioned here- moves like the ddt and the piledriver used to definitively end the match; now, the guys act stunned for a moment, then kick out.  Those moves looked so cool because if you got hit by one, that was IT; you were done.  And, for the record, I used to love that flying clothesline the Hart Foundation used to use as their finisher.

The Heart attack by the Hart foundation back in the eighties was great.

Also, anything the bulldogs did was a great finisher. What a great tag team they were.
