I was wondering
In Japan do they still call it a Japanese Arm Drag? In Germany do they still call it a German Suplex? In Europe they still call it a European Uppercut? In Canada do they still call it a Candanian Backbreaker? In Texas do they still call it a Texas Cloverleaf?
;D

I live in Texas, so this I can confirm for you...........We do indeed still call it a Texas Cloverleaf. One of my favorite moves by the way. ;D

I dunno... Maybe the move originated in the respective country, so that's what it's called everywhere. Kinda like Belgium waffles and french fries.

I think they call the German Suplex in Germany the Ugandan Suplex. The Canadian Backbreaker the Armenian Backbreaker and the European Uppercut is the Antartica Uppercut

It would be even better if the European uppercut was simply called the Shoryuken in homage to Street Fighter.

French Fries are called that because the potatoes are frenched. That is to say cut vertically (french cut green beans). It has nothing at all to do with the country of France. these are the useless facts that occupy my head.

What does Petey Williams call the Canadian Destroyer in Canada? Perhaps just "The Destroyer?"
Hmmm...

Yeah, since when was there a Canadian Backbreaker? Those pesky Canadians trying to take credit for another move?

Who was it that had the finisher in WCW called, "The Final Solution?" And it was the name Hitler gave his plan to exterminate jews. How well would that have gone over in Europe?
