Bodyslam. This one pisses me off because any time they see a wrestling move in a tv show, movie or game they claim its a bodyslam despite clearly being a different move. Funny thing is this: When I watch wrestling, I NEVER hear the announcer call any sort of slam a "body slam." Maybe if the announcers stopped "telling stories" and call the action in the ring.....

Bodyslam. This one pisses me off because any time they see a wrestling move in a tv show, movie or game they claim its a bodyslam despite clearly being a different move. I remember there was a bit of a controversy when New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was caught on camera DDTing a buddy of his in a Las Vegas nightclub while shirtless. This is when he was convalescing from a broken forearm, subsequent surgery and infection. When the panel on ESPN's Around The Horn were talking about this story they kept calling the DDT a "bodyslam". Although when I watched TMZ's TV show they all called it a DDT. Especially the guy who pitched the story (who is a pretty big wrestling fan who tends to pitch most wrestling related stories). For that one day it gave TMZ just a bit more credibility in my eyes than ESPN. I probably know which TMZ reporter it was, since there is a TMZ reporter who is an independent wrestler in NJ.

Power slam.
On an unrelated trivia note, can anybody tell me what an original piledriver was? I know, but its something I've only ever seen mentioned once.

Among my friends, it's German Suplex. It appears in some manga, like GTO and Nichijou, so they are pretty much really familiar with that move, even though they only rarely watch wrestling. Hasn't it even made it's way into UFC a time or two? I'm sure that I've seen someone hit it(or at least a modified version of it)
