I got your answer RIGHT HERE!

I've been getting an increasing number of mails lately asking the same thing and since I am lazy, I figured I'd throw this together to prevent me from being bothered by some stupid and not so stupid questions by throwing the answers up here.

Now the Questions :

• Q : Does this move really work? If so how does it work?
• A : Don't ask me, I'm not a wrestler. I put moves on the list as I think they are supposed to work given watching the moves done in tapes.

• Q : Hey, can I put a link on my page to your list?
• A : As of right now, I don't see an issue with it. The list is a meant to be used as a source of information.

• Q : I'm organizing a game (manual, video or otherwise), can I use your list in it?
• A : The list is generally meant as a free resource, however, if you'd like to send me to the "pay winduh", I take cash, checks, women, good stocks, rare gems, women and precious metals. Did I mention women? If you're using it for a list for rules or the like (which is not commercial) you're welcome to use the list as long as you give credit to where you got it. You can credit Ray Duffy or Rev. Ray Duffy, either one is fine. I would suggest listing the URL instead of using the lists as
  • a) it's a damn big list
  • b) it's a damn big list that gets updated fairly often

• Q: Do you take additions to the list?
• A: Yes and no. Yes, I will add just about hold not listed as long as it appears on some sort of media or I see it myself or heard of it. I will not include stuff that you used to beat up your little brother with. I will only include that if you show up on RAW or Nitro and use the hold on him there. As far as other combat sports go (Karate, Sumo, Shootfighting), in general, if the hold is used during a pro-wrestling bout, I will add it. E-wrestling holds don't count. Just because a hold works "in theory", it doesn't mean anyone is going to take the bump.

• Q : Hey, this hold isn't on the list! What up with that?
• A : Well, first off, it might be on the list. I've gotten more than a few questions asking me where a certain hold was when it was prominently displayed in one of the subsections of the list. It also might be on the list. I try to my best to put name variations on the list, so something might be on the list under a different name. If you can't find something on the list by it's name, search for it's "nickname" or on someone's name who uses it. Second, there are currently certain holds that are in a grey area for me (mostly stuff in the submissions, suplexes and pinning moves section). Third, there are certain moves that won't get on because they have an extra part that really adds nothing to the move (example : Simon Diamond's Simonizer where he takes a big pregnant pause between his fireman's carry and his inverted Face Lock DDT). I am working to get them on the list, but I have some issue with them. BEFORE YOU SEND ME MAIL, CHECK THE LIST. Do not send me a move name without an example of who does it. And before you send me a mail saying "This isn't on the list", search for that wrestler's name. 90% of the time, the move is already there.

• Q : I know this guy uses this hold too, why don't you add them to the list?
• A : Generally, I try to add about 3 examples to moves that are relatively well known. Usually one from the WWF, one from WCW, one from ECW and sometimes someone from Japan. There's a lot of holds which a lot of people use (like say an body slam), since most people know it as a generic move, I don't include names because they're well known.

• Q : This move is (the same or different) as this one!
• A : There are certain moves that are debatable if they are the same or not (the Diamond Cutter/Stone Cold Stunner comes to mind). I try to keep the list as compact as possible but if I feel there is enough as a similarity or difference, I will make the change. My judgement is final because it's my damn page so there. Nyah Nyah.

• Q : Can you mail me the list?
• A : No. There are plenty of ways for you to save a copy of the list via web browsers. If you want it, learn how to use your damn browser.
