* Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} likes to finish off her matches with a sequence of two of [[Wrestling/RicFlair her daddy's]] signature Knife Edge Chops, a neckbreaker, a spear, and finally either a Natural Selection or a Figure Eight Leglock.

* Wrestling/HulkHogan's [[HeroicSecondWind superhuman comeback]] was always the same: FingerWag, [[NoSell shake off punches]], [[GivingThePointerFinger point]], FingerWag, block a right, punch, punch, [[RuleOfThree punch]], Irish whip, boot to the head, legdrop.

*** And, after spending some time in China[note]To film the action-comedy movie ''Project X'' alongside Jackie Chan[/note], he debuted a new ''sixth'' move - the ''Lightning Fist'' - a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85csZI4FLNg theatrical punch]] complete with crossed-arm power-up stands - at house shows before breaking it out on TV at the ''Super Showdown'' in Australia. And, just to show how far the meme's ascended, the new move is also an example of CallingYourAttacks; with Cena shouting out the move's name in Mandarin.

* Wrestling/RandyOrton has begun to develop his own since he recently [[HeelFaceTurn became a face]] in late 2010 starting with a series of short arm clothesline, followed by a scoop powerslam, a inverted headlock back breaker or sometimes an Angle Slam, followed by a rope hung DDT and [[FinishingMove lastly]] the [[FunWithAcronyms RKO]], punt or combination of the two.

* Fanfiction author Khaosomega gives his self-based OC Jet Brazie a series of DragonBallZ moves to act as his version of this trope.

* Wrestling/MattHardy and Wrestling/JeffHardy had a tag team version in the early 2000's: Poetry in Motion, a second Poetry in Motion which the opponent evades, a huracanrana by their manager Wrestling/Lita, Twist of Fate, and Swanton Bomb.

** WWE 12 features "Comeback Attacks", which are essentially the beginning of wrestlers' five moves of doom sequenced together. Several of the examples listed above are available.

** And now, we've seen another shakeup: Springboard Clothesline, Kneelift to the corner, Short-Arm Clothesline, [[RandySavage Flying Elbow Drop]], GTS.

* For some time after his Wrestling/{{WWE}} debut, Wrestling/CMPunk had a finishing sequence of four moves: Running kneelift in the corner, bulldog, uranage, Anaconda Vice. With the addition of ''Go to Sleep'' (Fireman's carry followed by a knee lift), His standard moveset became five.

** More recently, Punk brought the Anaconda Vice back, and even won the WWE title with it.

* Wrestling/JohnCena's sequence: Flying shoulderblock, sitout hip toss, side-release spinout powerbomb, Five Knuckle Shuffle (fistdrop), [[strike:FU]] [[LighterAndSofter Attitude Adjustment]] (Fireman's Carry Takeover). Cena has the honor of being the first, and so far only, wrestler to openly refer to his sequence as the Five Moves of Doom in his promos. He's since added the STFU ([[strike:STF]] STS crossface combo) to the end of the sequence, making it his Six Moves of Doom.

** Now as a part of NXT as Hideo Atami, he's changed the sequence to two open-palm strikes, discus back hand, a series of kicks, a running dropkick in the corner, and a Shotgun Kick or (very rarely) a Go 2 Sleep.

** The Last Ride is more of a wild card than a finisher in more recent matches. When used, it is often for a high point of the match (often as a counter to someone backing Undertaker into the turnbuckle then climbing on to punch him) rather than a match finisher, so it can lead into the clothesline, snake eyes, etc. moveset listed above. It occasionally follows the chokeslam, though this is rare.

* Wrestling/KofiKingston- Slingshot forearm, double open handed strike, jumping forearm, boom drop, trouble in paradise. This sequence usually only shows up in tag team matches when his partner is playing RickyMorton. Otherwise the order of these moves is not so predictable, if they are even used at all.

* Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} of [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] fame likes to finish off her matches with a sequence of two of [[Wrestling/RicFlair her daddy's]] signature Knife Edge Chops, a neckbreaker, a spear, and finally either a Natural Selection or a Figure Eight.

* On the rare instances that Wrestling/ZackRyder [[{{Jobber}} actually wins a match]], he has his own finishing sequence for it: get Irish whipped from one corner to the next, double knees to the opponent as they attempt to follow up, taunt, drop kick from the second rope, flying forearm in the corner, a running corner facewash that he calls the Broski Boot, and finally the Rough Ryder.

* Wrestling/RomanReigns has 4 moves of doom. Stiff uppercuts in the corner, running dropkick to the head from outside the ring, Superman Punch, Spear.

* Kazuma's "Hell's Floor" finisher in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}} 3'': a German suplex, followed by an arm bar, followed by a triangle choke, followed by an anaconda choke, followed by a guillotine choke, finished with a mounted punch to the face. Just the chokes would probably leave the opponent's trachea reduced to the consistency of burger.

*** And now that he's pinned JohnCena, you can add a Busaiku Knee (knee to the face of a standing opponent, popularized by KENTA).

* Charlotte of [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] fame likes to finish off her matches with a sequence of two of [[Wrestling/RicFlair her daddy's]] signature Knife Edge Chops, a neckbreaker, a spear, and finally either a Natural Selection or a Figure Eight.

* Also in NXT, Hideo Itami does a strike combo (slap, slap, spinning backfist, spinning back kick) after which his opponent will fall into the corner, this is followed by a running dropkick to the corner and then the Shotgun Kick (a single-leg dropkick). He likes kicks.

* KENTA: Two open-palm strikes followed by a Discus Backhand, Roundhouse Kick, finished with either a Go 2 Sleep or a Busaiku Knee Smash (or he just does both)
