    Puroresu newbie move question

    I am a newcomer to puroresu, and wanted to ask a question about a move. A wrestler scoops up his opponent as if for a bodyslam, but when his opponent's body is horizontal, insteading of bodyslamming his opponent, he brings his opponent close to his body, positioning his opponent's head down between his legs so that his opponent is upside down and belly-to-belly with the wrestler executing the move. The wrestler then jumps into the air a la Paul Orndorff and drops his opponent on his head. Has anyone used this move, and if so, who, and what's the name of it? I've seen the Michinoku Driver II by TAKA Michinoku, but that's not it, as TAKA basically bodyslams his opponent falling down as he's doing it. This is a bodyslam setup turned into the piledriver than Owen Hart did to Steve Austin at Summerslam '97, with the wrestler's hands still in bodyslam position. The opponent stays completely vertical as he hits the mat. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out, and I look forward to learning more about puroresu.

    Sounds like the Michinoku Driver II to me... the WWE might have "altered" it to avoid neck injuries. I've also seen something like it called a Thunder Fire Driver.

    Ah, like they did with John Cena's Death Valley Driver (FU)?

    NO.What he is talking about is a reverse piledriver or some people call it a sit-out tombstone piledriver.And the Thunder Fire Driver is a shoulder power bomb but insted of droping his oppnent on his back like a power bomb he drops him on his head.Atsushi Onita uses the TFD as his finisher.And the F-U is a Death valley Driver but insted of dropong his opponent on his head he drops him on his back.

    Actually Onita's finisher was the Thunder Fire Powerbomb. But Anyway.

    That move is actually Koji Kitao's K-Driller. As a former backyard wrestler, that was my original finisher, I executed it out of a Firemans carry.

    SOunds like the K-Driller to me, unless the guy delivering it lands on his knees and not his butt. Then it sounds like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver.

    I am thinking that sounds similar to the TTD or the Ganzo TTD. Although it could be a Steiner Screwdriver. Describing moves can be really hard though, and even harder to pick out from a description. If either one of those is close without being quite it, let me know the difference.
