[edit] First person to break free of Bret Hart's sharpshooter
"# The Undertaker was the first wrestler to break free of Bret Hart's Sharpshooter.[citation needed]"
This particular claim says it is lacking a reference. At the very least, I know for a fact that this claim was made during Summerslam 1997 by Jim Ross (in commentary), during the WWF Championship match. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.122.60 (talk) 21:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
The proof can be found on the Bret Hart "Best There Is..." DVD. At the One Night Only pay per view match with Undertaker, September 20, 1997, (next to last match on disc 3) Undertaker breaks free from the Sharpshooter.Smobro68 06:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A move to Sharpshooter (professional wrestling)?
Perhaps this should be moved to Sharpshooter (professional wrestling)? As per DDT (professional wrestling), Piledriver (professional wrestling), Cutter/Stunner (professional wrestling), etc... MethnorTalk to me!
Sharpshooter as a move has many variations as to how to get in and out of the hold, but the sharpshooter itself doesn't have any noticeable variations, as with DDTs, Piledrivers, Cutter/Stunners, and Suplexes. At least, I haven't noticed any. Smobro68 06:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Variation
I know this probably doesn't belong here but what is the name of the version that is exactly like this but without putting you're leg inbetween your opponents legs? -Gdfanatic21594 03:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
The Texas Cloverleaf is closest to your description, used most commonly by Dean Malenko.--76.104.252.229 (talk) 22:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Users?
Is it really notable who uses this move? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 03:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Scorpion Deathlock or Scorpion Deth-Lock?
I seem to remember it being the Deth-Lock spelling, at least in the early days.76.226.125.152 (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
