Nice find. Until now I've never ever heard the WCW commentary team call that reverse Pancake the "Trip to the diamond mine" and the Diamond Clash sounds way better than the Pancake.
I finally found a DDP video performing two of his signature moves with the commentators saying "A Trip to the Diamond Mine" and the "D-D-PANCAKE" (aka the Diamond Clash. A finisher he used between 1993 and 1994) the video here is just a few weeks before he started using the Ace Crusher, yes he even the did the Ace Crusher a few times in 1994, after that he modified the Ace Crusher by applying it with two arms and called it the Diamond Cutter (also known as The Cutter). It's a move that's been copied by so many wrestlers from Triple H, Billy Gunn to Matt Hardy and so many others. When I was a kid, I always thought the Trip To The Diamond Mine was the known as the "Tombstone Slam" or the "Reverse/Inverted Pancake" and the same with the D-D-PANCAKE, I always thought it was called the "DDP Pancake", I guess I was wrong. I thank my dad for remembering and correcting me the original names of these two awesome DDP moves.
