Some of you wrestling veterans may know, whenever i look at descriptions of each, they always say that one is like the other, but they are not identical... so what is the actual difference?
Is it that on the frankensteiner, you fall between the opponents legs whilst you fall to the side on a hurricanrana? If so, why were all hurricanranas in WCW called frankensteiners?

Scott Steiner used it as a finisher in his arsenal. But he did it in an interesting way- he'd throw his opponent into the ropes, and as they rebounded, he'd jump up, get his legs around the opponent's neck & do a back flip. To see a guy his size do something like that was quite amazing. This was before the luche libre invasion. Once the smaller wrestlers came into WCW, they called it the Hurracanrana.
Frankensteiner:
Hurracanrana: (first few seconds)

Its just like calling a Fisherman Suplex a Perfect Plex.
just naming the move for oneself.
Same move different name

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that:
Frankensteiner - Should be taken more like a piledriver. The person giving the move typically goes through the opponent's legs.
Hurricanrana - Should be taken more like a headscissors. The person giving the move swings off to the side (ala headscissors).

The Frankensteiner and the Hurricanrana are the same move. The only reason the Frankensteiner is called that is because it was done by Steiner.

Noooo Locura.
Isnt it the same move and you take it/sell it whichever way you are comfy with it?
That was my impression and I actually have the history of the Hurricanrana in a book about lucha. ill type it at home later

Pretty sure they're the same move.. It's only called a 'Frankensteiner' obviously, because it's attached to Steiner..
