Hideo Itami lost a lot of time over the last year due to injury, but he has come back with a vengeance in NXT, and he’s making sure the entire world knows it. One of the most exciting…
Wrestling moves are always created by someone and always imitated by everyone. It’s just the way the world and the business works. The only problem is when it comes to figuring out who did it first, and sometimes there can be a bit of confusion when the discussions begin.

Now, the tweet wasn’ t entirely out of nowhere as Hideo Itami is credited with creating the GTS when he wrestled as KENTA in Japan. Most wrestling fans in America know of the move primarily from CM Punk who used it during his time in WWE and really made it quite popular.
“I pick the guy up in a fireman’s carry, boost him over my head and throw him down. As he’s falling toward the mat, I knee him directly in the face. It’s called Go To Sleep because they wouldn’ t allow me to call it the ‘Go To Hell.’ It knocks guys out.”
This isn’ t the first time that Itami has actually called out CM Punk over the GTS as it first happened back in 2015. Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks received a response from Punk which brought about Itami’s somewhat sarcastic tweet back.
@MattJackson13 that was my formula. Sans the kicks. I’ d never steal someone’s finish.

It is possible that one or two more matches could be added to the card over the course of the next week.
