Yeah, I definitely hear Ya. So many moves and then so many moves just with
different names, like the RKO being a DDT, the Master lock is just a full

Stighner recliner a camel clutch or a Boston crab or what?
Hi Jason,
Oh cool, thanks, that is nice to know that an RKO is just a DDT. And I always
thought that the sharp shooter was just a Boston crab.
The Iron Sheik used the camel clutch. Sergeant Slaughter used the cobra
clutch. For the camel clutch you are squatting and sitting on the man's

No, the Sharpshooter is a reverse figure four leglock. Its not a Boston Crab.
