5 times WWE Superstars allegedly copied other wrestlers' finishing moves (and what happened next?)

#4 DDP asks Triple H to stop using the Diamond Cutter

WWE legend Triple H had a brief stint in WCW in the 90s before he made his way to WWE in 1995. Soon After Triple H debuted in WWE, he began using the Diamond Cutter. Around the same time, DDP was popularizing the move over in WCW, and he decided to call Triple H to talk about the situation.

I didn't force Triple H to stop using the move, but I asked him if he could stop doing it as his shot as a favor. He said there was no problem and he never used it again because we were friends. That says a lot about Triple H. He is a close friend and a classy person.

Triple H adopted the Pedigree soon after, and the rest is history. The Pedigree quickly became one of the most devastating moves in all of WWE and was instrumental in Triple H becoming one of the biggest Superstars in WWE history. Both Triple H and DDP are WWE Hall of Famers today, courtesy of their contributions towards the business as in-ring performers.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
