Okay, so technically speaking Edge got his version of the DDT from his mentor, Gangrel. But it was the Rated-R Superstar who took the move to greater heights and really made it his own. Edges DDT, dubbed the Edgecution (who doesnt love a pun?), incorporated the usual DDT set-up, though with the notable addition of height. Via a combination of his opponents assistance and the grabbing of the tights, Edge would raise his victimoften to an entirely horizontal positionbefore bringing them back to earth. That elevation made the move as much of a slam as it was a driver, which of course created the perception of a more effective attack. Had Edge not already possessed the Spear as a finisher, this would likely have been his chosen method of killing off an opponent. As it happens though, the move was often used as simply a signature manoeuvre for a close finish. Dont let that take anything away from the effectiveness of the technique though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJeHDadiKvM
