The TNM Move List

Welcome to the TNM Move List, the first step in an attempt to bring some uniformity
to the world of TNM, and especially exports. 

The purpose of this list is to help everyone understand what a move actually is, how
much damage it should do, what are feasible counters for it and what sort of parameters
it can be executed within. For each move, I will list it's name (which should appear in
your database), other names it has been called, who's used it (to help visualization),
then which fields should be filled in the TNM Database.

Any questions/queries/corrections/amendments?

NOTE: If a parameter is not listed under the move, it means leave it unchecked or NA.

450 Splash

This move is basically what is says. A wrestler jumps off the top rope, performs a 
450 degree turn, and comes down on his opponent with a splash. It has been used as
a finisher by 2 Cold Scorpio and Juventud Guerrera, and Jeff Hardy pulls it out
occasionally.

reverse neckbreaker, whilst still holding his wrist. William Regal uses a variation
of this move at the moment.

asai moonsault

moonsault bodyblock, because the opponent is standing.

avalanche

Usually, but not always, used by big men, you whip your opponent into the corner,
then just follow in and let the combination of momentum and weight do the damage.
Due to the nature of the move, in TNM it is recommended that you don't put this 
move into a wrestler's movelist, only as a cross-corner move.
