What do you think is the best all-time name for a finisher?

Not going to lie, the entire reason I am posting this is because yesterday's ROH newswire referred to Steen's F-5 as the GTH (which was what Steen had wanted) rather than as the F-Cinq, which is what Nigel and Kelly had been calling it on commentary, and I think that the GTH (Go To Hell) is just an absolutely amazing name for this finisher. It is a move that starts out with the opponent in a Fireman's Carry position, just as the Go To Sleep and Go To Sleepy Hollow do, so calling it the GTH is a great reference to that, and because it just fits so perfectly into Steen's character right now to have a finsiher called "Go To Hell."

I know it sounds like an easy choice but I'm going to go with the burning hammer.
It sounds exactly as painful as it looks and when you're holding the guy up you both kind of resemble a hammer.

Gonna agree with Canadian Destroyer
Total Elimination
And I'd like to say 3D because when they set it up everyone knows and starts yelling "3D!" It just seems really neat and fits well.

I think it's named that bc it was Misawa's version when he was Tiger Mask II, around that time.
My fav name for a move (don't know if it was a finisher; never actually saw it performed) is the Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Grudunzle.
Mr. Salty was another good name for a move.
As far as finishers go, Cattle Mutilation takes the cake! Can't wait for him to bust it out (hopefully against Punk at OTL)
