Notice how all the guys that invented moves are very popular?

I think this is a case of, not guys who invented moves, but guys that made them popular, and hence, "invented" them.

Of course it is.

Anyways, not sure who invented it but Andre was doing it in the 70's.

Karl Istaz popularly known as Karl Gotch, a German, innovated it and hence the name, German Suplex also known as Belly-to-back waist lock suplex (no wonder they changed the name)

Spicolli didn't invent the Death Valley Bomb/Driver and Kobashi didn't invent the Burning Hammer. They were invented by Etsuko Mita and Kyoko Inoue, respectively.

And also, in reference to another post, I'm fairly sure that the Tombstone was named before The Undertaker started using it.
