Hirooki Goto makes this list not because of just one finisher. Instead, Goto is known for having a wide array of awesome and devastating finishers that he has used over the course of his career.

Part of that stems from his penchant for putting on great matches, which itself is helped by his wide variety of awesome moves that any WWE superstar would love to start using.
