I stopped watching pro wrestling a while ago, and I'm having trouble remembering main eventers' signature moves where they even jumped off the top rope, I think most had at least one, and rarely was it their finisher. I remember when Brock Lesner tried a shooting star press on Kurt Angle and he fucked it up so bad I believe he gave himself a concussion for real.
I can think of a few old-ish examples, but the level of stardom is a little questionable. Eddie Guerrero had a frog splash. Rob van Dam did too. Chris Benoit infamously had a flying headbutt that, theoretically, could have contributed to his eventual murder-suicide. I see Jeff Hardy had a flying finisher. Shawn Michaels sometimes did a flying elbow drop.

Forget Randy Savage's elbow drop? That's madness!
