The following are the moves that the Lion's Den Fighting Championships training classes will be working on between Thursday, April 16th and Wednesday, April 22nd.
You have until Wednesday, April 22nd to chose if you would like to use one of these moves in your move-set. You do not have to chose one to add to your moveset. If you'd rather not add any of the three to your moveset, just don't do anything. If you want one of these three moves added to your moveset, reply to your wrestlers update thread in the Profile Updates Subforum, or create your thread in the forum with the move you'd like to add, and the move you want it to replace. Staff will then edit your bio and make the change for you. This will signify your wrestler learning the move that week. Now, your wrestler does not forget how to do the move you take off the moveset, it just becomes something they do less often during matches. As a reminder, you may only choose one of the three moves per week to add to your move-set.
Double Underhook DDT
Instead of applying a head or facelock, the wrestler bends his opponent forward and hooks each arm behind the opponent's head. The wrestler then tucks the opponent's head under one of his arms, and then falls back to pull the opponent down either flat on his face, which is the more common variant, or onto the top of their head, causing them to roll over, like in a regular DDT. It is also known as a double arm DDT or a butterfly DDT.
Slingshot DDT
From the opposite side of the ropes, whether it be inside the ring or on the apron, the wrestlers slingshot's themselves over the top rope. On the way down they grab their opponent by the head in a front facelock, dropping them on their face or the top of their head on the way down to the ground.
Tornado DDT
Tornado DDT: The tornado DDT is also referred to as a swinging/spinning DDT. A wrestler goes to the middle rope and applies a front facelock to an opponent from an elevated position (for example, sitting on the top turnbuckle against an opponent standing on the mat, or from the apron against an opponent standing on the ground). The wrestler then jumps forward and swings around to fall backwards and drop the opponent's head into the mat.
Running Tornado DDT: In this grounded version a wrestler charges at a standing opponent, jumps up and applies the front facelock in mid air before swinging his/herself round and falling backwards down to the mat to perform the DDT. This is sometimes known as a jumping swinging DDT and is regularly used by wrestlers that use a standard tornado DDT.
Springboard Tornado DDT:(video above) This version of the DDT sees the wrestler apply the front facelock while on the same level as the opponent and then run up the ring ropes (or even another opponent) to springboard round and deliver the DDT.
