I remember in one of Apter's Wrestling Superstars mags from the early 90's, they ranked Jimmy Garvin's ddt equal to Jake's. I guess Jake's ddt was devalued after his Taker match, and he was in the midst of his SMW run, while Garvin was winning matches with the Freebirds.
I personally liked Arn's ddt...and Barry Windham's as much as Jake's.
Top rope leg drop - Bobby Eaton
Savate Kick -Stan Lane or Haku
Flying Head Scissors - Ricky Morton
Eye Rake/Face Smoosh with Boot - Dory Funk
Driving Knee Off the Top - Dick Murdoch
Discus Punch - Kerry Von Erich

I seem to remember lots of internet fans marking out for Hardcore Holly's dropkick for some reason. I think a lot were just parroting JR's commentary. Every time he used the dropkick, JR would opine that Holly's dropkick was the best in wrestling. Although to be fair, he did get some excellent spring on it and it did look nice how he could seemingly hang. |

I remember Taz making things even more complicated when Orton came around and he started calling his dropkick something like "the best dropkick I've seen except for Hardcore Holly's but well, ya know..." I feel like I remember him having this struggle often. |

I can’t believe no one has yet mentioned Jake the Snake and the DDT. Jake was just so tall and lean that when he came down with his right hand on the top of the opponents’ head, it looked like a decapitation. Jake was tall enough that some of his shorter opponents were almost standing. It seemed like their heads were being thrown from the ceiling. And then Jake had that perfect evil grin for the camera when he floated over for the cover. There are other good versions of the DDT, but none better than Jake in his prime.

Third post: Bret's suplex was a thing of beauty, and he had the best standing leg drop too. |

I have always appreciated Dean Malenko's "hip lariat". I don't know the exact name of it but in Fire Pro Wrestling it was called Zero Fighter Kick.
