Ok, Drew McIntyre has a running single leg dropkick as a finisher and I kinda get annoyed at that when they just give the imported independent or Japanese traveled wrestlers this finisher in NXT. It was Hideo Itami's finisher until they let him use the GTS and it just felt kinda lackluster. I've even seen Roderick Strong do it really early on, my goodness, he has several backbreakers, he could have used any of them until finding the right finisher.
I know Ambrose does Dirty Deeds, but I'd be okay with Drew going back to the Future Shock DDT.
It's actually more of an NXT-specific problem with the finisher choices in that regard than the main roster and it's a bit of an anti-climax spot in a match with the imported established talent in NXT. Aleister Black has a roundhouse kick that I can buy more, because it looks sick. I'd literally rather watch a generic DDT, a swing neckbreaker, anything but that lame jump single leg kick that looks like a transitional move in the indies that I've seen traded back and forth to set up bigger moves.
