Last Impression (high jumping leg lariat) Also referred to as a jumping leg lariat or a running calf kick this attack is seen when an attacking wrestler runs towards an opponent, jumps and wraps his leg around the opponent's head/neck knocking the opponent to the ground. Doug Basham and Slyk Wagner Brown are known for jumping higher than what is needed and wrapping his lowest leg around the opponent's head forcing the opponent and himself to the ground. Basham calls this variation the Last Impression. He would also land on the opponent in a fashion not so different from a leg drop. Piledriver - in OVW Also called a belly-to-back piledriver, traditional piledriver, or simply piledriver, this is the classic & original piledriver technique. From a position in which the opponent is bent forward against the wrestler's midsection, the wrestler grabs around his/her opponent's midsection and lifts so that the opponent is held upside down facing in the same direction as the wrestler, the wrestler then drops to a sitting position with the opponent's head falling between the wrestler's thighs down to the mat. Jujigatame (Crucifix armbar) The wrestler holds an opponent's arm with his arms, pulling the arm across his chest. He is situated perpendicular to and behind the opponent. The wrestler then holds the other arm with his legs, stretching the shoulders back in a crucifying position and hyperextending the elbow. This technique is also called a cross armbreaker, or jujigatame, a term borrowed from Judo. Super Rydeen bomb This high-lifting sitout spinebuster slam is often referred to as a sky lift powerbomb in which a wrestler will take hold of a (often charging) opponent with each hand placed under the opponent’s arm pits. At this point the attacking wrestler will lift the opponent into the air as high as possible, before dropping to a seated position so that the opponent falls backfirst between the wrestler's legs. A wrestler will often place his hands on the falling opponent to attempt a pin. Satoshi Kojima is credited with naming the move the Rydeen bomb. The term Super is placed before any move which is being performed off the top- or second rope. Top-rope diving leg drop Also called a Guillotine Legdrop, This diving attack sees a wrestler jump forward from a raised platform (i.e. top rope, the ring apron, etc) landing the bottom side of his/her leg across an opponent (usually on the throat or face). Single-leg boston crab This typically starts with the opponent on his back, and the wrestler standing and facing him. The wrestler hooks each of the opponent's legs in one of his arms, and then turns the opponent face-down, stepping over him in the process. The final position has the wrestler in a semi-sitting position and facing away from his opponent, with the opponent's back and legs bent back toward his face. Suplex powerslam The wrestler applies a Front face lock, throws the opponent's near arm over the wrestler's shoulder, and then grabs his/her tights to lift him/her up straight in the air (as in a standard vertical suplex). When the wrestler begins to drop the opponent to the mat the wrestler will fall face-down on top of his/her opponent. This move was invented by Dean Malenko but was popularized by Bill Goldberg. Another version of this move sees a wrestler use the standard vertical suplex to lift the opponent into the air and place him/her over the attacker's shoulder before performing a running powerslam.
