Jericho's Codebreaker

And just for hilarity, Danshoku Dino's Danshoku Driver.
My favourites:
The Piledriver (as done by "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and Jerry "The King" Lawler) - of course they've now banned this as it was pretty dangerous (and could lead to injuries rather easily if the head should drop and actually made a lot of contact) and usually resulted in guys suffering stingers in their necks afterwards at the very least.
The DDT (as done by Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Jimmy "Jam" Garvin) - like the piledriver, pretty dangerous. These days, the RKO is kind of another variation and the regular DDT basically is just used as a set-up move these days. Still nobody ever seemed to execute it quite like Roberts or Garvin.
The Go to Sleep (as done these days by C.M. Punk and KENTA) - just looks devastating - big old knee right in the mouth.
The Pepsi Plunge (Punk's old finisher, one he used in ROH and the independents but probably won't be allowed to do in WWE as it's pretty dangerous looking and it's kind of Triple H's domain I guess - basically like a pedrigree off the top rope)
The Sleeperhold (as done by Verne Gagne, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and nowadays Dolph Ziggler) - simple yet effective and believable.
The Anklelock Submission (as done by Ken Shamrock, Kurt Angle and recently Jack Swagger) - believable looking submission hold.
Sheamus' Big Boot to the Noggin - I just love seeing that big boot coming.
Tag Team Ones:
The Doomsday Device: Hawk and Animal and their flying clothesline from the top rope done by Hawk as their opponent was lifted on Animal's shoulders.
The Hart Attack - Jim Neidhart had his man in a bearhug and Bret Hart zigzags the ring and nails the opponent with a devastating clothesline.
Power and Glory Superplex/Supersplash - the finisher where Hercules suplexed his man off the top rope and Roma dove on the landed opponent
The Veg-O-Matic - Midnight Express Finisher where Eaton would hold his opponent near the mat in a bearhug as Lane dove from the top rope across his neck with a leg drop.

It's actually my understanding that Punk chose to drop it, as it's rough on his knees doing that on a daily basis.

Oh was that the case? Anyways I thought the move looked awesome and really wish he would use it on rare occasions.

He did some interview, I believe with PWI or one of the other magazines, and went on record and said that WWE actually requested he use it, despite reports they wanted him to stop, cause it's HHH's move. He then said that he chose not to, due to the knee damage that's occuring when he does it consistently. He did say he might pull it out again, one day, but for now his main focus is the GTS and occasional use of other moves.

Only problem with Ahmed Johnson's Pearl River Plunge and Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press (BTW: I love Evan Bourne's and Justin Gabriel's Shooting Star Press these days) is they have an history of injuring people with those holds/moves as did the Road Warriors in their early days with the Doomsday Device...
