A simple back splash, which can be done from and to pretty much everywhere.

An uncomplicated move, which has somewhat fallen out of favor to more complicated moves.

Diving Senton

The most basic kind. Can refer to either a back splash off of the turnbuckles, or (somehow) a running back press splash. The latter is seen often, either as everyone taking a turn to do one on an opponent, or as a quick extra move after otherwise finishing an opponent. It's a move that few use simply as a trademark, but most anyone is able to do if it fits the situation.

Senton con Giro

Diving (top rope) senton where the attacker does a front flip before the senton, are more commonly seen than the straight senton. Also called a Senton Bomb. Made popular in United States by Jeff Hardy, who's high-angle swan-dive tilt was christened the Swanton Bomb. Used by many luchadors including Incognito & Felina Metalica.

Slingshot somersault senton

This move is executed when a wrestler sees his opponent laying prone on the floor. He will then use the ropes to slingshot himself to the floor with a somersault senton. See also; Tope Atómico.
