5 current WWE finishers and their true inventors

#3 Black Gordman - DDT

Dean Ambrose and Bobby Roode might use variations of the DDT as their finishers and Jake Roberts might be synonymous with the name of the move, but it was actually a territory wrestler named Black Gordman who used it for the first time.

Wrestling for the NWA in Los Angeles, Gordman called it the Diamond Twist. He did not receive wide spread acclaim for the move as he did not wrestle in the popular territories and Jake Roberts has been hailed as the father of the DDT.

However, Gordman is well known in Mexico, belonging to the same family as the likes of Dos Caras and Alberto Del Rio.
