Nope. Sunset-flip.

This has to be the fifth time I've seen this on Reddit, and the thread usually fills up with "wrestling is so stupid and fake but this is swell!"

Well, if you like this stuff then google Dragon's Gate and stop being in the wrestling fan closet.

My personal favorite move is the Bronco Buster. In the wrestling games I make sure that all of my characters know how to do it. My favorite combo is and will always be making Mr. Clean and teaching him the Bronco Buster along with some of Rikishi's moves.

For anyone who wants to know, this happened in a wrestling promotion called Chikara, and it is one of the most entertaining things I have ever seen. For example, things like this and this happen routinely during their shows.

I really wish pro wrestling would get more respect. As an amateur actor and trained pro wrestler, I can honestly say that doing a 5-minute match is harder than playing Romeo or Oberon. Couples figure skating is a sport, but pro wrestling isn't...aren't they both athletic performances involving two people working together through a flashy routine and arriving at a predetermined conclusion for the purposes of entertainment?

I got over WWF when I was 10 years old, but that was coolest thing I have ever seen!

It's actually a botched canadian destroyer. There may be another name for it, but the first person I ever saw do it was Petey Williams in TNA and that's what he called it. Here's a decent version.

The one in the .gif ends up more as a flipping powerbomb, which is still pretty cool, especially considering the setup.

looks more like a powerbomb
