Has "Clothesline from Hell" ever been used for any other wrestler besides Bradshaw? If not, it doesn't count for the thread. "German suplex" comes from Karl Gotch (who was actually Belgian but usually billed as German), though he generally called it an "atomic suplex." It was renamed to a German suplex when he started touring in Japan (for obvious reasons, though "atomic drop" somehow skated by). Sharpshooter has mostly overtaken scorpion deathlock as the default name for that hold, at least in the U.S. In his first few weeks as JBL, they tried calling it "The Clothesline from Wall Street" Sounded corny as f*** so they went back to "Hell" They also tried turning it into the “Lariat from Hell” during Bradshaws mid 2002 singles run with the Texas Hardcore Title

Believe it or not the Tombstone name for the kneeling belly-to-belly piledriver predates Undertaker. Gorilla called it a tombstone the very first time Taker used it to eliminate Koko B Ware back in the days when finishers didn’t always have a name right away, ie they didn’t say “He calls this the Razor’s Edge!” during Razor’s first match. I think Don Muraco used it as his finisher and even called it “tombstone.” Which is why Monsoon called it as such.

Opposite of this. Did Hogan’s leg drop ever have a gimmick name Nope, which is a shame because the Axe Bomber is a GOAT name

I never heard it called as anything besides "...drops the big leg!" That much, I definitely agree with, it was probably not said a ton, or at least, I don't remember it being said out loud a lot, mostly brought up in coloring books, etc.

Senton/swanton bomb?
Jeff is still the main one who uses it. But when someone else tended to it was usually still called the Senton Bomb (or something similar)

If it had a name, it would have been Big Leg Drop. I’m sure they always used “big” but I could just be misremembering.

I could see Vince in promotional pieces calling it THE ATOMIC LEG DROP! to make it sound snappier though.

Buff's Blockbuster has definitely been called that when others have used it. It's basically the name for it now.

Val Venis started doing it, too, well before Eddie died, but that's basically the only other person I remember doing rolling vertical suplexes pre-Eddie death. I don't think Val bothered giving his a name, but nor do I care to look.
