Finisher or standard move?

DDTs have been used by everyone in whatever wrestling they have
competed in. A simple front-facelock into a backbump sending your
opponents head crashing to the surface!

The DDT aka Damien Death Trap invented by Jake The Snake Roberts was
known as a pretty hefty finisher back in the day. You could say it
was the stone cold stunner of yesterday.

Many who have watched backyard matches over the years have
critically spoke about how a DDT was every over move and how the
move was overused.

In backyarding some people go by thier own style of wrestling and
consider the ddt a standard move whilst in the pro industry it is
still considered a finisher by many. Much like a lot of backyarders
suplex on the right instead of traditionally on the left.

From my own experience I was scolded at training seminars when I
used a DDT in a match and especially in the early going. So I
stopped...

Anyhow. What is your take?

I would like the DDT to be used as a finnisher, because you're head is smashing on the floor. But I think it has become more of a "false finnisher" these days.

(DDT by many fans was percieved to mean damiens death trap, but in fact DDT is a kind of poison)
