STO = a slightly modified oosotogari, if it isn't just the same move. I think in an actual oosotogari you don't fall down with the opponent.

but yep, that's an STO...and after what Funky Fly said, it brought a question to mind I had about the Rock Bottom. By now it's definitely fallen into its own as a wrestling move, but it seems to have evolved (as far as elevation goes) over the years in some respects. In the Smackdown video games, some of those STOs (especially STO2, and STO3...used by Brock Lesnar, that looks much more like a clothesline into a Rock Bottom than a regular STO) resemble Rock Bottoms. Is The Rock Bottom more influenced by the STO or Hiroshi Hase's Uranage suplex / Yokozuna's Sambo suplex?
