Do wrestlers ever use "your" moves?

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

Have you ever seen a wrestler use a move you either thought you made up, or popularized yourself in your backyard/e-fed/indy/anything that would apply to you matches?

I personally used the STO for my finisher, and I've seen a lot of people use it (Even though I thought I invented it, I'd later find out I didnt thanks to the internet) but I've only marked when Ariel used it to beat Kelly at D2D

A friend of mine started doing the Electric Chair Drop before Edge or Kanyon but I dont know if anyone did it before them. Probably Nova. Dude does everything.

Before I watch WWE videos or DVD's, I pay close attention to the reminder that says "bones do get broken...careers get ended in an instant...whatever you do, don't try this at home". Therefore, I willingly obey the WWE when it tells me that I shouldn't try the maneauvers that I see on there; not on a human being, not on inflatable animals while jumping into a swimming pool, and certainly not in the backyard.

Big Dick Johnson stole my dance moves, that's 'bout it.

[4real]

Eugene stole my gimmick, does that count?

[odor31]

YES! All the time.

I do a leg DDT when I am working on people's legs...grabbing their leg and planting it into the ground, lots of people have been doing it lately...

I also had a face crusher that people have taken since I began using it, Steiner, Undertaker, Christopher Daniels...

Orlando Jordan took my inverted Stunner

....to name a few

In the early-'90s, there was a guy in WCW named Yoshi Kwan. He had a submission finisher that I swear I thought I made up myself. Let me try to explain it.

Kwan is facing his opponent and grabs an arm. He then straightens the arm and places it behind his own head so the elbow is being forced backward. I don't know what he called it, but I always just pulled a Schiavone and called it a "reverse arm breaker." Although if I were actually trying to be like Tony, I would have called it a "full arm drag and twist."

Also, I used the "Code Red" armbar that Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman used to beat jobbers when I would have matches with my friends.

I saw AJ Styles use a spiral headbutt which I used as my finisher when I wrestled.

A friend of mine thought of The Alabama Slam way before Bob started using it. I am sure somewhere it was used when we though of it, but we were unaware. BOB HOLLY IS A THEIF!

If anyone does a modified version of a Vertebreaker where they faceplant them instead of piledriver (like a super unprettier), they can read my mind.

Or a fireman's carry to side effect. They stole that too.

Taz also used it way before Holly and called it the Concrete Crash

So far, no one has used my "punch one's head off" maneuver.

...

My lawyers are telling me not to continue talking about this, so I'll just leave it at that.

We used to do a Full Nelson then whilst maintaining the hold push forward on your knees, you should be forcing your opponents legs out under your own, the end result looks like a modified cobra clutch.
Haven't seen a full Nelson "Combo" used except for the slams and I love it as a set up move.

I thought i invented the STO to until i saw it on smackdown vs raw 2006. ;D

The only other move that i use that ive never seen done before (or have an didnt notice) is a firemans carry into a neckbreaker (push back their legs so they are in the air and fall its fun.)

[wrasslinmachine]

EL Dandy stole my doubt.

[Ace Diamond]

I thought I invented a running jumping Lariat to Facelock takedown...then i realized it was really just a Modified Neckbreaker Drop/Bulldog (depending on the direction it's hit from). Still I doubt anybody has done it by running 50 feet at somebody who didn't realize they were about to get hit until they turned around at the last possible second.

[Matt Rogers]

I invented what I like to call the "Crucifix" when I was like 10. You simply cross the legs up against the back, and push down on the top one, while twisting the ankle, absolutely KILLS. I'm pretty sure I've seen people doing something similar since.

[Austin's Middle Finger]

Triple H stole my whole moveset.

[heffer111]

i created the bodyslam, those assholes

[Franchise]

So far, no one's taken my "Manslaughter"- I wrap around the right leg like I'm doing a Figure-4, then proceed to do a Sharpshooter.

[Hassan bin Sober]

D'Lo Brown stole a backyard wrestling move I created years ago called the "Sister Crippler".
