Cutter (professional wrestling)
In professional wrestling, a cutter is a 3⁄4 facelock neckbreaker maneuver. This move sees an attacking wrestler first apply a 3⁄4 facelock (reaching back and grabbing the head of an opponent, thus pulling the opponent's jaw above the wrestler's shoulder) before falling backwards (sometimes after running forwards first) to force the opponent face-first to the mat below.
The cutter was innovated by Johnny Ace, who called it the Ace Crusher. It was later popularized by Diamond Dallas Page, who called it the Diamond Cutter, which is where the move got its name. The most famous of all the cutters is the RKO, the finishing move of Randy Orton. The cutter also formed the base for the later development of another professional wrestling move known as the stunner.
The attacking wrestler gets the opponent in the Argentine backbreaker position as to execute the Argentine Backbreaker drop. The attacking wrestler then pushes the opponent's legs so that they flip horizontally 180 degrees. As the opponent's weight is being shifted to one side, the attacking wrestler applies the 3⁄4 facelock and drops the opponent.
Also known as a Piggyback cutter, in this elevated cutter variation, the opponent is first raised up in a piggy-back position with whichever arm holding the opponent's head with a 3⁄4 facelock. From here, the attacking wrestler pushes one the opponent's legs backwards with enough strength to force them into a (near) horizontal position and drops down back first while still holding the opponent's head to force them to fall into the cutter.
After their match, Diamond Dallas Page used this version as a counter against Billy Kidman as he was trying to immobilize Page with a sleeper hold while his feet were suspended off the mat (as Page was the taller of the two) in an August 16th, 1999, episode of Nitro.
This variation sees the wrestler lift an opponent from behind as with a belly to back suplex. Then, instead of falling backwards, the wrestler pushes the opponent's legs so that the opponent turns over in mid-air, so that they are now face-down and parallel to the ground. As the opponent falls, the wrestler reaches back and seizes the opponent's head in order to perform the cutter.
In this version, the wrestler first lifts the opponent up in a crucifix hold before rotating them into the cutter. Another variation involves the opponent lifted in a reverse crucifix and dropped into the cutter. This particular version was innovated and popularized in America by Tommy Dreamer, who called it the TommyHawk.
In this version, a wrestler dives from the top rope and nails a cutter to a standing opponent from the front. There is also a springboard version in which the wrestler dives from the ropes in a backflip position and delivers a cutter to the standing opponent. Chris Bey uses this move, calling it The Art of Finesse.
