This is the real "Sidewalk Slam":

>No, these are spinebusters.
Kinda. The term "sidewalk slam" was the name of Ron Simmons's stand-up/release spinebuster. He called it "The Sidewalk Slam", because his gimmick was he was a blackie from the streets, and a legit tough guy, and that his "Sidewalk Slam" was just a basic streetfighting technique to end fights quickly, by slamming the opponent into....wait for it....the SIDEWALK! You will notice that in the middle of this compliation, Jim Ross switches from calling "spinebuster" to "sidewalk slam" in the middle of Ron's WCW run. That's when Ron himself started calling it "the Sidewalk Slam" and putting it over as his signature move.
People began wrongly referring to the Side Slam as "Side Walk Slam" when wrestlers like Undertaker and Kane would walk around with the opponent before hitting the slam. This is a walking side slam, not a sidewalk slam!

Jim Ross bares some blame too, as he would call "sidewalk slam" wrongly during side slams when he went to WWF/E.
>I don't want to call spinebusters "Sidewalk Slams".
Good. Don't. It was Simmons's signature move. Just call it a spinebuster if you want to. That said, there's now like three versions of the spinebuster that are common: the Arn Anderson style with the 180 spin and drop to your knees (Triple H does it like this), the Simmons version (very uncommon because it's either stiff as fuck or just looks like shit), and the The Rock version, which is a blend of the two, dropping to your knees but without the spin.
>I want to keep calling side slams "sidewalk slams" when they walk around.
Take your pants off and lay across my bed. I'm sick of these games you play. You force me to be the parent I never wanted to be. DCS would probably not give a fuck when I tell them how much you disrespect the SPORT of professional wrestling. Think of this when you have kids of your own.
