Could it have been anyone else with any other finisher? From the kick to the sternum, all the way to Austin's taunt in the face of his opponent, the Stone Cold Stunner was as vital to Austin's legacy as his rebel personality or his "what?" catchphrase. Having used the Stun Gun as his finisher during the time he was managed by the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Austin switched to the Stunner during his winning run in the King of the Ring Tournament.

From there, Austin would continue to use the move as his finisher, both during matches and to put an exclamation mark on segments, especially with the likes of the McMahon family and longtime main event rival, The Rock.

As much as the move was efficient in defeating the opponents, the Stunner was also helped greatly by the way people like Vince McMahon and the Rock sold the move as they flailed around after being hit with it.

Are there any finishers I missed? Can you think of an iconic finisher that hasn't been included in this list? Sound off in the comments below.
