What are some old finishing manoeuvres that wrestlers no longer use?

HHH- Ace Cutter

Rock- Shoulder Breaker

Austin- Cobra Clutch/ Stun Gun

HBK- High Angle Backdrop

Big Show- Final Cut

Randy Orton- Overdrive/ Crossbody Frogsplash

Cena- Fisherman Suplex/ Emerald Fusion

Lesnar- Bearhug / Stretch Muffler
 
I was a big fan of 'loading the boot' a la Assassin #1 and the Iron Sheik
 
Back in my day a suplex was a finisher

It still is...

in Suplex City.
 
Chris Jericho's WCW-style Lion Tamer

The Undertaker using the Last Ride as his finisher in the Biker Taker days
 
Edge used to do the Downward Spiral before he started using the Spear/Edgecution as his finisher.
 
Before he discovered the ddt by accident jake the snake would use a knee lift as his finisher
 
Edge - Downward Spiral, Elevated DDT, Edge-O-Matic
 
It's funny that he still believes he invented the DDT.

I know he didn't , but nobody ever showed it to him before he had someone in a standing front face lock and tripped over his feet .
He kinda discovered it for himself

I am aware of that. That's why i said that "he" believes it. I bet that there are tons of wrestling moves that were discovered independently by different people.
