This is not a german suplex but a fisherman's suplex. I do not know if this should be re-tagged as fishermans_suplex as I am not aware of any other pictures that can go with that. Seems to me that the Japanese love the german suplex a lot...

Either suplex is great for adding a pin by just bridging the legs and back.

Fishermen suplex people? HOW did I miss that when I was in Newfoundland!? Awwwwwwwww, that would've been way better to see than the old man spitting chewing tobacco across the room.

Perhaps "German Suplex" should be re-tagged as just plain "suplex" so that all varieties can be lumped together?

Yeah, I don't think people really care that much about the varieties...

well, the tagging fans might think about the varieties though.

I try to hold off on making a new tag until I can find at least two posts with it.

Not even close to a fisherman's suplex. More in between an Olympic slam and a backdrop.

... just saying.

My mistake. Looking at it again, I forgot about the facelock in the fisherman's suplex and just went off on the leg hold. Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't care -what- the move's called, personally, because it fails to change one immutable fact:

THAT HAD TO HURT LIKE HELL.

Backdrop. It's neither a German suplex nor is it a Fisherman's suplex.

Yeah this is not a german

This is some professional wrestling going on.

It's like a back suplex taken from a modified russian legsweep position. Whatever you wanna call it, I call it a win. XD

How about..

Reverse Fisherman Suplex?

That's more like a backdrop than a German Suplex, or Suplex.
