Talk:DDT (professional wrestling)

message: This article needs pictures, or better, animated gifs of the moves to fully explain them.  I am aware of how much work that is but it occurred to me and I wanted to list it here a future improvement. Dachande (talk) 22:44, 22 February 2008 (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
I always heard DDT stood for Devistating Drop Technique

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: The article mentions that Jake Roberts invented the DDT; However, I have also seen mention of Genichiro Tenryu inventing the move early in his career.  He used the name Dangerous Driver Tenryu for the move, similar to how Naoya Ogawa called the STO the Space Tornado Ogawa.--Maikerutx 5 July 2005 21:31 (UTC)
:I've never heard of this, but I do remember reading or hearing that the DDT move has been used before Roberts started using it, but can't remember by who, so I removed the claim that he invented the move.

thread_title:  Actual Inventor of the DDT? 

message: I've semi-protected the article due to edit warring.  But, there is not a single reference in either article. I've dealt with this kind of crap at Goth Metal articles with Leyasu and Deathrocker (arguing over their preferred genre defintions and which band is in which genre based seemingly on nothing more than their own opinions) and I'm not happy to see it here. I have no way of knowing which description of some wrestling move is more accurate; both versions look like original research/personal observations and conclusions. I suggest you find some kind of appropriate third-party source rather than arguing over what looks like personal opinion. Thatcher131 05:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: That sentence does not read right. A rookie is a rookie no matter what their gender. WWE Divas often get to TV with a DDT or facebuster as a finisher, but I don't see how that's rationale for putting such a clunky sentence in. In other companies, a rookie worker is often given a 'safe' finisher regardless of gender. Sordyne (talk) 08:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
