I haven't played enough of Ninja Gaiden to say that, but those finishing moves looked like something straight out of God of War.

They kind of are. Itagaki incorporated finishing moves called Obliteration Techniques into Ninja Gaiden II, which could be used when an enemy had lost a limb - functionally they're much more exciting, but it's easy to see that the inspiration for them was probably God of War.

Yeah... but, OT's were in NG I/Black too, and that came out before GoW... Also, I said that it looks more like Ninja Gaiden because Team Ninja made Ninja Gaiden...

Come again? I beat the first Xbox Ninja Gaiden on Very Hard, beat the Hurricane Pack, and got through Black on Master Ninja - there weren't any Obliteration techniques. If your enemy lost a limb they just died (usually because the only limb most could lose was the head).
