Post A Wrestler Doing a Move They Invented

[Drones]

Post a wrestler doing a move they invented. The point of this thread is to learn about move origins and to see moves performed in their original form.

I'll start. Hayabusa was an interesting blend of power moves and high flying. It's unfortunate that most people only know him for the accident because he was really unique and an innovator in his own right. Anyway he invented both the Falcon Arrow

And the Phoenix Splash.

Post yours.

Hurican ramirez. Frankensteiner myth busted

Frankensteiner and rana are different, though. Not by much, but the set ups are different enough to be different moves if you count all 1000000 powerbomb variations as more than just a powerbomb. A guy doing a frankensteiner is standing as an opponent runs at him. A rana has the guy run towards the opponent and flip back. A frankensteiner uses the momentum of the opponent to drive them into the mat, while a rana relies and the momentum of the person doing the movie.

Anyway:

Lou Thesz: Inventor of the powerbomb

Kanyon: Inventor of the Kanyon Cutter

Mitsuharu Misawa: Inventor of the Tiger Driver

Pretty sure he's not the inventor but I've never seen footage of someone using the Sharpshooter before Choshu

Here’s a series of Japanese women’s wrestlers and the moves they innovated

Who invented the tombstone? The earliest I've seen it was Andre doing it in the early 70s, but that seems bizarre that he'd be the inventor of such a move.

Here's Jackie Pallo doing a variation of it in 1970

Here's Jackie Pollo doing a variation of it in 1970

My thought was it was either someone from Japan or Stampede and the cross-pollination brought it from one country to the other early on. Hadn't considered UK dudes.
