Well, the super kick has gone the way of the DDT.

Not just on WWE TV, either. The super kick looks more devastating than most finishing moves, much like the DDT, but now people just throw it out there 15-20 times per show and the announcers sell it like it's a bullet to the face and yet everybody kicks out.
It's time to make wrestling great again, dammit. Either sell big moves or don't do them IMO.

Dusty Rhoads says the bionic elbow is still king.

Hell, even modern day finishers don't result in a three count these days. Must do finisher three times. Unless opponent is distracted by their future PPV opponent's music and appearance on the entrance ramp, then a quick roll up will finish the match (and the heels don't even grab the tights).

I miss the days when the announcers would say that a wrestler was being "Pearl Harbored" when the bad guys would attack from behind.
And what happened to a "Pier 6 Brawl"? Did we, as a society, stop hanging out and fighting on the waterfront?

Dirty deeds is one of the most protected finishers in WWE, I can't recall ever seeing anyone kick out of it

Things evolve. Back in the 80's, finishing moves were simple but protected. You wouldn't see anyone else do a kneelift except for Mr. Wrestling II. Both JYD and Dr. Death Steve Williams both used power slams to finish off opponents (of course, they were called "the thump" and "the Oklahoma Stampede" to differentiate from a "regular" power slam).

Greatest move ever was the Figure Four Leg Lock by Dr. X.

It's cause wrestlers these days don't load the boot. That was the key.
Always had to stomp a few times to load it.
My favorite was the claw. Dont see it anymore. And what happened to the mythical foreign object in the tights
Or knee pads.
How about greatest specialty match ever? I loved the Rock and roll express vs midnight express scaffold match. They climbed up the week before and dropped a pumpkin (or maybe was a watermelon). shite spooked me. I also loved the coal miners glove match. That shite used to bust people open.
I also remember one of the von Erich's won a math and the heel has to be his slave on his farm for a day. They ended up getting into it on the farm and cut the camera as they were going behind the barn to fight
