i thought the move is called tombstone piledriver?!

[TheUltimateFighter1]

The "Tombstone Piledriver" name was popularized by The Undertaker. It is just a gimmick name for a Kneeling Belly-to-Belly Piledriver. The spinning variation seen in this video is named by the wrestler using it, Kotaro Suzuki, so it's a gimmick name also. Justin Credible also does a spinning variation which he calls That's Incredible, which is what rodneydepiper below was hinting at.

The so-called prowrestling wiki is misleading. The name of the move was called the tombstone piledriver long before the Undertaker 'popularized' it in the states. See Jaguar Yokota and Dynamite Kid using it in the early 80s and the announcers calling it such.

[TheUltimateFighter1]

Correct, however The Undertaker did indeed popularize the move, and name. I never said noone else used it or called it that. The Undertaker just made it more of a household name.

[ushireborn]

well, in the USA he did. But this is a Japanese match and it was used rather frequently over there by that time. That was my point...

no big deal.

[TheUltimateFighter1]

None at all. ;-)

[rodneydepiper]

That's incredible! Bad pun, I know.
