Talk:Professional wrestling throws/Archive 1

message: From Special:Recentchanges:
The Shooting Star Press is a top-rope move where one wrestler is laying in the middle of the ring and the attacker is facing him on the ropes. The attacker the jumps forward, executing a backflip in mid-air, ending with the attacker landing on the opponent in the splash position.
I found the above as a substub under Shooting Star Press and didn't redirect because I couldn't see this anywhere else, but I'm going to speedy delete it anyway.  If this is an actual move, could someone who is in the know merge it with either this article or Professional wrestling holds, whichever is appropriate?  --Ardonik.talk() 04:02, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
The Shooting Star Press isn't a throw or a hold. It's considered a "high-flying move", which would place it in Professional wrestling high-flying techniques; this nonexistent article is currently a red link in the main Professional wrestling article. Dale Arnett 06:11, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: why is the DDT named after some chemical DDT???? I was under the impression it stood for Death Defying Trap. Feel free to prove me wrong, i haven't seen any evidence either way AlbinoMonkey

Jake the Snake, arguably the most famous user of the DDT as a finisher, referred to it at least once as "Damien's Dinner Time." 
But I still say the best guess is that it was named after the chemical.

replies: text: I don't remember Jake ever having used that name for the move.  In fact, the only time I remember Jake being asked what the name DDT means, he repiled, simply, "It means the end!" --HBK 06:50, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
In a shoot interview Roberts was asked where he got the name DDT... he replied that during the time he was deciding on the name an incident was on the news about a DDT chemical spill so he decided to use the name DDT.---Paulley 15:24, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I've tried to edit the various areas where a Stone Cold Stunner is described as a type of bulldog...that's just not the case. A bulldog ends with the opponent's head coming into contact with the mat, while the Stunner is more properly called a Three-Quarters Headlock Chinbreaker. 
Just getting the terminology clear would be nice.

replies: text: Thanks. It doesn't look like the terminology is very clear in common use, though: both the "Book of 1000 Holds" site, and a wrestler I know call the Stunner/Ace Crusher/etc. a type of bulldog. Wrestling isn't exactly scientific, so there are some weird overlaps in terminology.  — Gwalla | Talk 01:37, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: plz can someone prove to me that this is actually a real move. even the person that wrote it says its never been used:
"This move has never been used by a professional wrestler but is invented by Mikael Samuelsson, Umeå, Sweden. Alias "the Crock"."
so why is it in this article???... at least can someone give it a technical name. Paulley 14:32, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like it was invented by somebody for his e-fed character. The description was incoherent—it seems like it's supposed to be some sort of pumphandle DDT, but I wouldn't put money on it. I deleted it for being incomprehensible and under a neologism.  — Gwalla | Talk 02:24, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Thanks for clearing that up Gwalla. Be on the look out, as more of these fake moves are appearing on the other wrestling move lists. Paulley 13:28, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there really such thing as a judgment slam? If there is such a thing PLEASE note an event in which it was used or I recommend somebody delete it.
:Deleted. If somebody has evidence of its existence, they should provide it here in talk.  — Gwalla | Talk 06:49, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Is it ever actually used by a real wrestler, or is it just in those games?  — Gwalla | Talk 23:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well i would highly doubt WWE would place a fake move in one of there games, though i do agree i would rather have some proof of use -- Paulley 11:51, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
