Shades of Frank Gotch! - the names of some of the holds used by our modern acrobatic wrestlers are strange to be sure. The late Wayne Munn used the slam hold to pin his opponents; Gus Sonnenberg conceived the flying tackle; Jim Londos the airplane spin; Ed Don George the backdrop; Joe Savoldi the dropkick; Abe Kashey the hit-kick-and-gouge; Joe Cox the Japanese cradle hold; and Man Mountain Dean the Blimp.
