Guest Dace59 Report post Posted June 22, 2002 Haven't heard about the Piledriver. He however invent the Powerbomb, the true Ganso Bomb. No one knows who invented the modern, and safer shoulder mount version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffin Surfer Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Jake invented the DDT? Was he doing it before Tiger Mask I? I can recall Tiger Mask doing a nasty high angle DDT to the Dynamite Kid in one of their 81 matches. Was Jake using the DDT before then, or was the Tiger Mask's version not considered a DDT?

Guest BigTim2002 Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Oh, for that, I think that the move itself wasn't known as the DDT. Probably just a head spike... Also, DDT was invented by Jake. STO, Space Tornado Ogawa STF Stepover Toehold Facelock And, while I was reading Scott Keith's book it said that THESZ invented the powerbomb after not finishing off the piledriver correctly.

Guest Dace59 Report post Posted June 24, 2002 Thank you for the summary. Jake wrestled before his WWF days remember. The move has been around for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Didn't Thesz also invent the STF??? I heard that somewhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dace59 Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Have'nt heard about that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted June 29, 2002 The STF has probably been around since the dawn of time, since it is a legitimate shoot hold. Thesz might've popularized the move within modern pro wrestling though, and that would explain Chono's use of it, since Thesz helped train him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
