This women’s wrestling move is a highly acrobatic one which requires obvious cooperation from the victim, and I must admit that I love it. The move is most often seem in Mexican female wrestling. It is a high-amplitude, high risk move, that – when executed properly – is extremely spectacular as well.

The move usually begins with the attacker grabbing hold of one of the victim’s hands (in a test of strength fashion). She then gathers momentum and scales (runs up) the ropes to the top one while still grabbing her opponent’s hand. She takes a few paces on the top rope, using the victim as support. She then jumps off the rope rolling over in the air before landing, using the momentum built up this way to flip her opponent over and to toss her across the ring. Cooperation from the victim is important when the attacker lands too. The victim needs to slow her fall in order to prevent injury.

Possible escape: because the move requires so much cooperation from the victim, we can’t really talk about a possible escape here. As a matter of fact, the victim needs to focus on staying with the flow of the move to make sure the attacker doesn’t end up injured.

Efficiency: staying within kayfabe, the move is supposed to daze the victim, especially when used as part of a whole barrage of armdrags. In actual terms, we can’t really talk about efficiency in the case of this move.
