This made its way all the way to the Supreme Court.
The Tombstone is a reverse piledriver. The piledriver may still be illegal here in Tennessee even now.
I love the levels of officialness around the whole thing.
The CWA itself was a sham, a phony governing organization whipped up by the Memphis promotion so it could bring a "world champion" to the area for extended programs rather than waiting until it was time for the NWA champion to visit. The idea that there was some sort of super-serious panel of CWA suits studying that move is hilarious, but Memphis wrestling was amazing in its ability to sell just about any scenario or angle.
@@MrHmg55wait, are you saying that a wrestling company was working the fans?
Andre the Giant used the tombstone pile driver back in 1971 and 72 in Montreal where I would see him live and on tv for Grand Prix wrestling. In fact I still have a photo spread of him doing it to Tarzan Tyler in an old wrestling magazine from the same time . He apparently sent Tyler to the hospital with a broken neck. Kayfabe or shoot I don’t know but if the latter then I guess that’s why none of you younger folk never saw him do it
To be fair to Tommy Mccreight, Hulkster did indeed wrestle as "The Super Destroyer" in the 70's, having inherited the role from Don Jardine. But this Super Destroyer is Bill Dromo.
wow. is this the first documented use of the move?
The earliest documented video ive seen of the tombstone piledriver is from Andre the Giant in 1972
Yes that is a tombstone pile driver 👍
The Super Destroyer is Hulk Hogan? Not even close. It's Bill Dromo I believe.
This wasn't the Super D that was in Atlanta that teamed with the Masked Superstar
YES Jason Lock it is Bill DROMO
...=]
tombstone- piledriver = same hold,different angle
dId u know super destroyer is actually HULK HOGAN
I thought Don muraco was the first
The piledriver was actually banned in Tennessee for a long time.
Still banned here in Louisiana.
I've always wondered why it was banned in Memphis? I heard it killed someone in the 70s
@@PeteSanctions It was done, solely to give a heel an extra gimmick to draw heat and to provide an escape proof move
Did Dave ever speak?
Uhhh??? This is supposed to be fake right? lol. His ead didnt even hit the ground
Well he managed to bounce somehow
