I hate what people have done to the DDT
when Jake did it was perfection
It was believable and was a finish
now it’s just a move and people can’t even do it right, it’s a mockery of what it is supposed to be
besides Raven and Arn Anderson ,I can’t think of anyone else who’s done effective since
Though it wasn't a finish, The Rock's Floatover (and DDT in general) was about as impressive you'd find.
But when Jake did it, you weren't asking if the match was over. You were asking if the victim was gonna make it to his next few matches. It was the nuclear weapon of finishers.
