Hi Dark, That was basically my point. All the performers do is take an existing move and change the name to match their persona.
If Shawn Michaels kicks a guy in the chin he calls it "Sweet Chin Music" but if Sheamus kicks a guy in the chin he calls it a "Bro Kick." Essentially we are talking about the same move but with two different names. Their is Nothing particularly special about the moves themselves other than that particular superstar has chosen it to be one of his/her signature moves. For example, Candice Michelle use to name all of her signature moves after candies or sweets. Which makes sense given Candi is short for Candice. So for her a Russian legsweep was a Sugar Rush, and a Victory Roll was a Candy Wrapper. There were plenty of other examples like that which were all designed around a candy oriented theme even though all the moves themselves were pretty generic. The more famous the superstar, the more unique his/her character is, they tend to adopt new names for signature moves that reflect their persona even though the moves themselves are textbook examples of professional wrestling moves used all over the world under other more generic names. Cheers!
