If properly executed, the Sunset flip powerbomb is quite probably the most spectacular pinning maneuver in ladies' professional wrestling. The move is a relatively intricate one, which – like so many of the other more intricate and spectacular women's wrestling moves – requires quite a bit of coordination between attacker and victim.
The move starts out with the attacker getting the would-be target of the move to bend forward. The attacker then vaults over the victim's head effectively landing on her back, with her legs hanging down the sides of her victim. The attacker then hooks her feet behind the victim's knees and leans backward a little, possibly even raising her arms. She then suddenly swings forth, and sticks her head behind the victim's legs from behind, having built up enough momentum to flip her over completely. At the end of the Sunset flip powerbomb, the attacker is sitting with her legs on the victim's arms, holding her locked in a folding pin.
When it comes to proper execution, the amplitude of the movements is everything in the case of the Sunset flip powerbomb. In sloppily executed Sunset flip powerboms, the "powerbomb" part is pretty much missing. The victim is simply pulled down and rolled up. In a proper Sunset flip powerbomb though, the victim hits the floor with an actual impact, adding a lot to the overall "credibility' of the move.
Possible escape: don't let your opponent get into position to execute the move. Once she swings into it, the match is pretty much over.
Rating: due to its highly spectacular nature, the sunset flip powerbomb is wonderfully suited as a finisher. It is a high-tier move at any rate, although execution pretty much makes it or breaks it. As far as efficiency goes: I'm not sure if any lady wrestler has ever managed to kick out of the pin in which the sunset flip powerbomb ends.
