Thats fantastic lol

Holy shit that’s great 😂

Yeah, Chono's move is also called the Yakuza Kick pretty much everywhere. Though "Legitimate Business Kick' sounds awesome.

@@Sunstreaker2k5 Thanks for that clarification - I came across it named the Yakuza Kick in the original version of _WWF SmackDown_ for the PS1 over 20 years ago, and it stayed that way in umpteen subsequent versions too. I never knew (or, to be frank, thought about) where it came from, though, until right now!

@@Somnogenesis same here I only remembered there was a Yakuza kick when he explained further into the gimmick

Oh really

I heard him say it meant Damien’s Dinner Time.

The best answer he gave is when they asked him what it meant, and just said "The End"

I love jake but jake has done a lot of drugs that make u tell a whole bunch of stories that or fictional, but hey he could be right

I have sided with the Damien’s Dinner Time because it’s that much funnier

Don't forget the irish whip

@@JuanchoMetalHeaD That's my setup for my signature move: the Hawaiian Punch!

I'm a fan already lol.

That was the story when we were kids.

He used the DDT before he came to the WWF. He didn't use the snake until then,

I heard it stood for Damien Death Trap.

I thought he said he read a paper and basically said DDT is the end

The name still doesn’t make much sense for AJ’s move. Finn’s ‘overhead kick’ is an actual Pelé kick

I've done that with other moves.

I kinda put the two and two together.

@@toofofbear watch him in TNA and you'll see

I took me the longest time to twig why it was called that too, if it's any consolation! Apart from anything, I associate Pelé with a lot of things but overhead/bicycle kick goals aren't particularly one of them. Mostly, though, the weird pronunciation threw me off completely. Is that a standard American way of saying Pelé's name, or something AJ mispronounced and it just stuck, or what, do we know? It's "Peh-lay". If it _was_ "Pay-lay", it would be spelled Pélé.

Right?? Someone has to bring the original Irish Whip back, that looked like it would still be a good spot these days!

Never heard that but does make his DDT sound even better

I always heard "Damien's Death Trap" as well as Dinner Time

Or Damien's Death drop.... Drop on your head ... You get it 🙂

I never heard that one, but I do remember him once saying it stood for "Drop Dead Twice."

He said in his A&E Biography episode a few weeks ago that he had no clue what to name it, and was in a diner the day before his debut and a newspaper showed that DDT was getting banned, and decided to use the name... I guess later he thought of some meanings to the Acronym, but never settled on just 1 meaning (likely to keep things fresh)

Nope, he NAILED those pronunciations, spot on!!

Including 2 children and wounded more than 60

Darn right!! Be like Jules

sharpshooter cause it was Bret's signature move and he was the Hitman. Chokeslam is very self-explanatory. The others I'm also curious about.

Sharpshooter makes sense for bret to use only

@@alano2475 I think we can do Swanton Bomb, anyway. It was originally billed as just a Senton Bomb (meaning a back-first impact, just like the senton splash on the mat that e.g. Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe do), but it got modified to make a nod to the particularly spectacular swan-dive action that Jeff performed it with. Just _why_ 'senton' means a back-first impact I still don't know, mind - I'm guessing it's an imported Japanese name...? Tree of woe is an especially odd but specific-sounding name I've never heard an etymology for. I'd really like to learn that one.

Tree of Woe is probably a reference to "Conan the Barbarian", where the title character (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) is crucified on the aforementioned tree. The tiger bomb was invented/popularized by the first Tiger Mask. The one I'm more curious about is the Nelson holds.

@@rivercrummett1691 cool

MIND BLOWN DUDE

@@rivercrummett1691 that's not true.

Shinsuke deserves better

Not true.

miss him that worthless fucker is always doing list

I think "cowperson" was used sort of satirically, as an obviously nonsense term. It made me laugh, anyway :)

Interesting; that's the same thing that I encountered when I was watching one of those Popeye cartoons back in my childhood.

Ripcord knee. Revolution knee. Those are the ones I remember. This was after they banned the curb stomp.

@@Cboz1978 right. And at one point it was called King's Landing. Cole screaming "The KNEE!!" before the move had a name was hilarious

@@georgedafourth Seth's finishers have form for this, don't they? Cole screaming "STOMP!!" is hardly, um, vintage stuff either. I mean, I can see why WWE might want to steer away from the real-life connotations of 'Curb Stomp' (though Edge deliberately used the full name twice in a recent promo as I write this - presumably trying to make it sound less naff), but it used to be officially known as the Blackout too at some point and that seemed perfectly acceptable. Instead, though, they seem determined to leave him as the poor guy whose finishing moves were The Knee and The Stomp. Actually, what is it about knees? Daniel Bryan's Flying Knee pretty much just got called "KNEE!!" too, even though they did try to brand it things like the Knee Plus (as in "B+ Player") at some point but apparently forgot again immediately.

Talking of that, I'm not embarrassed to admit that it took me several years to cotton onto the specific 'hidden' meaning in Cena's "STFU". I just thought it was quite an obvious and neat combination of STF (which is what the move is, and is indeed now known simply as) with his existing finisher the FU. ST-FU, if you like. Not being well versed in abbreviated insults, the 'true' meaning didn't occur to me. Clearly, I must have an unusually innocent mind. It also took me quite genuinely _years_ to twig that there was a really blatant innuendo in "Five Knuckle Shuffle", somehow. I mean, I was like 23 when he debuted it, I wasn't a little kid or anything, but I'd never heard the phrase used in, um, another context so it completely escaped me!

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

I like it even better as the Future Shock! I love the snap Drew puts into it. Nowadays though, sadly, McIntyre concentrates on the Claymore as his finisher... and that magically means the Future Shock suddenly _stops_ being deadly as it now literally can't pin anyone :(

I'm pretty happy with it
