Quoted By:
>German Suplex
The move was innovated by Karl Gotch. The move sees the wrestler stands behind the opponent, grabs them around their waist, lifts them up, and falls backwards while bridging their back and legs, slamming the opponent down to the mat shoulder and upper back first. The wrestler keeps the waistlock and continues bridging with their back and legs, pinning the opponent's shoulders down against the mat. The regular pinning variation can be referred to as the German suplex pin. The wrestler can also release the opponent in mid arch, which is referred to as a release German suplex.
