according to the big book of wrestling moves site, the 3/4 facelock flapjack bulldog is the Bubba Cutter version of the cutter

Ringuina is a type of grounded octopus hold which starts with the opponent standing up, but then takes him/her down to the mat http://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=Ringuina

Tornado Splash (not sure if this is 100 percent accurate) I think that's just another name for either a Firebird/450 splash, or it's a Phoenix Splash

Quesadora is just think is just a Mexican armdrag.

Maximo Spin I'm not sure about as it seems that only the Maximo boys call it that hence the name, so it's a gimmick name more than an original name more than likely

Blind Foul (I've often got this move through exports, and to this day, I don't know what it is, so I usually delete it and replace it with something else)

Sammartino Slingshot (that's the old school move, at least I think that's the move it is, where you put your opponent under the rope and do a slingshot on him and he/she hits his/her throat on the rope as he/she comes up.

Kuishinbo Driver (I beleive that's just Kuishinbo Kamen's name for a Michinoku Driver II)

Mariachina sounds like a misspelling of http://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=La_Marciana
CarlzillaPosted on 03/25/09 at 07:17:08

I thought the Quesadora was the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker in Mexico

I think a blind foul is any 'foul' strike (low blow, eye gouge, etc.) committed behind the ref's back (hence "blind")
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 03/25/09 at 15:06:39

Sammartino slingshot is a power bomb lift into a Hotshot.

Quesadora is a spinning backbreaker.

I think a standing surfboard is the submission hold where the wrestler drives a knee into his opponent's back and pulls back on their arms. I just use surfboard to cover all three of the options in my database.

No idea about the Maximo Spin. I know it's in the Maximos exports on the main site.

Yeah, that 3/4 facelock flapjack bulldog is when a wrestler launches his opponent up in the air and brings them down face-first in an Ace Crusher.

According to luchawiki, this is the name of the spinning/tilt-a-whirl backbreaker:

My bad, quebradora is the spinning backbreaker. Quesadora is a crazy lucha armdrag.

That also sounds right to me...I get them confused.

Define "crazy"?  Spinning?  Tilt-a-whirl?  Ropeflip?
LillaThrillaPosted on 03/26/09 at 03:47:27

Just to muddy the waters, I picked Rob Bihari's brain (authority on all things lucha) and this is what he said:

Quesadora? No such thing. Some announcer probably screwed up saying "quebradora" which is any backbreaker.
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 03/26/09 at 21:53:45

Apparently, it's a wheelbarrow transition deal that usually winds up as an armdrag. So not actually an offensive move per se. Happens in almost every Chikara match.

King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 03/27/09 at 11:58:56

From ChikaraFans.com:

"It's a Wheelbarrow into a Crosshook Armdrag.

The term "Quebradora" also gets commonly confused with Quesadora. A Quebradora is basically the term for a Tilt-a-Whirl, which usually then transitions into a Wristdrag or a Backbreaker. I usually consider a Quesadora a Tilt-a-Whirl into a Wristdrag rather than saying "Quebradora Wristdrag"."
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 07/13/09 at 21:38:10

Is there a term for the move where the attacker picks up his opponent for a bodyslam, but then slams them down to the attacker's side? I guess you could call it a "side bodyslam", but does it have a regular name?

The move I'm struggling to describe is Aiden Frost's finisher in FCW:

TheImpalerTMXPosted on 07/14/09 at 00:39:34

KAGETORA (Dragon Gate) does the move and I've seen it referred to as a gutwrench driver. Granted, he does the same move from a fireman's carry position, but I think he has a different name for that. So, either go with that or side bodyslam seems simple enough to me.
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 07/14/09 at 12:05:24

I suppose it's a bit like an Emerald Erosion, only this starts from a bodyslam position instead of a powerslam.
TheImpalerTMXPosted on 07/15/09 at 06:54:57

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. But the Emerald Frosion is the head dropping move, so it is not like say the falcon arrow where you have the regular and the "sheer drop" version. But as I said KAGETORA has been doing it ever since he took up that moniker and it gets called a gutwrench driver. It is one of his trademarks, but when he does it out of a fireman's carry that is usually one of his finishers (and hence I believe has some long Japanese name).

I know saying gutwrench makes you think it starts out in a gutwrench suplex position, but the move does end with the gut, well, wrenched. But if you think about it the victim lands almost exactly the same way from the suplex as he does the body slam - it is just where the attacker lands that is different.

You know, everything looks watered down once you see it done in a joshi match.

Speaking of moves:

What would be the technical name for this:

It's Tyson Kiidd's Hart Lock:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Pz-FzIS2Q&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div

It starts off as like he's going for a sasori gatame/sharpshooter, but then turns it into some sort of armbar or arm scissors submission
pszPosted on 07/19/09 at 03:44:23

The YouTube poster calls it a "Figure Four Triangle Armbar"

Except there is no figure four involved - not in the setup of the legs, nor in the final stage of the hold. Granted that is more because the attacker can't stretch enough to actually get a true figure four on. There triangle armbar is there as long as you clearly distinguish it from a triangle choke. So in trying to come up with a simple name for it... triangle armbar deathlock? It might be one of those cases where the gimmick name is actually the best name for the hold.

Armlock inverted deathlock or armbar inverted deathlock.  Or yeah, Hart Lock. :P

WakePosted on 07/24/09 at 23:29:06

A name like Entrapment Armbar could be generic enough to work not only for Tyson Kidds funky armbar Hart Lock, but mabye for other overly complicated arm lock/bar variations.

I'd probably go with Hart Lock. Only ever seen him use it in FCW. Has it used it in WWE yet? Don't watch much of the E anymore.
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 04/08/10 at 11:01:26

I'm thinking I should add the Codebreaker to the TNM move list as it is fast replacing the lung blower as the most overused move in wrestling.  What to call it though?  Something like "double knee facebuster" or just stick with "Codebreaker"?

TNM 3:16 has it listed as a "double knee strike" with all the associated names listed separately.
Drunken FoolPosted on 05/27/10 at 03:43:58

Speaking of moves...

I'm updating my old (October 2009) version of Festus, to reflect the Luke Gallows character

What I would like to know is what move could I use for the Twelfth Step? It's like some sport of modified spinebuster, but there's an inverted full nelson lift involved.

I'm wondering if a double knee facebuster should be used for moves like the Codebreaker. But for something like the Elijah Express - just a double knee strike without the 'facebuster' aspect - I'm thinking to just lump it in with a high knee. Yeah, Harley Race only used one knee not two but seems close enough to me and not really different for TNM settings.

Looks like a standing arm triangle choke aka anaconda vise maybe?

Who is that choking out CM Punk? Might help us identity the move.

EDIT: URL names are tech! LOL  It's John Morrison; doesn't help much.  Probably just one of those WWEisms of "haha I can use your own finisher on you!"
UnrightPosted on 07/04/10 at 17:59:08

Eh.. The Anaconda Vice is a little different..





Note the opponent's arm isn't under their own chin.

FWIW, Ross identified it as a "Japanese stranglehold", which I always thought was more of a straitjacket hold (and wikipedia seems to agree).

I want to call it a "figure-four sleeper", but I figured I'd consult you guys.

I'm pretty sure a a Japanese stranglehold aka straightjacket submission involves choking someone with both of their arms not just one (and as a result you end up behind them not to the side).

I think a figure four sleeper was a figure four leglock around the victim's neck.

Jackknife cradle:

which I guess is the first step to a jackknife cradle.

I'm still clueless what a backward bridge is supposed to be.
King_Of_Old_SchoolPosted on 07/11/10 at 00:13:41

It's the bridge part of the "rolling reverse cradle into a bridge" move.

"neck vise" according to Good Ol' JR.
