Can you name a wrestling moved named after a wrestler?
You must supply info. on the wrestler, don't just list the moves.
A pic of the guy hitting the move would be a bonus.
The Gizoni - named for Tony Gizoni - NCAA champ 1951 & 1952 from Waynesburg College, PA.

I have to admit, I didn't know about the Eichelberger cradle.
How about the Mill's Cradle? Named after Hall of Famer Gene Mills. Also the Mill's Nelson pictured below.  For the Mill's cradle, the top wrestler would hook his opponents left leg from this position and lock up a cradle. (without releasing the half nelson). It looks and feels like a full nelson, but its perfectly legal. |

It might as well be a full nelson since the referee and assistant referee are both out of position to see it.

The "Metzger" standing, crotch-pry to outside trip. Nice 5 pt (or fall) move named for Andre Metzger back in the 80's.
In California in the late 70's we all called the "standing spladle" the "Cooper Scooper" after 2x state champion and HS dream teamer Glenn Cooper from Sacramento. Cooper later went on to be a D2 champ at Cal Bakersfield after quitting Cal Poly.

Anyone know who Nelson was, as in half-Nelson, full-Nelson? I've never heard, but always assumed it was named for a wrestler or a coach.

Bar Cigar -- i forget the wrestler's real name but that is close to how it was pronounced. The move is also called a flare finish.

When I was in London about ten years ago, I got a picture of me next to his tomb. Mark - I am unable to find confirmation of this online, but I remember our guide in London telling us this. |
