Lightning Spiral
From Luchawiki

Variant of a Fireman's Carry Slam, associated most-strongly with Masato Yoshino. Instead of lifting the opponent off of their feet, the attacker simply hooks one leg, "winds up", and swings the opponent sharply into the mat on their neck/shoulders (ala a Driver). Similar to a Ranhei or Russian Legsweep.
An inverted version is also possible, wherein the attacker faces away from the hunched opponent, stays standing fully upright, and reaches behind themselves for the grip. It is used by Star Jr. in Mexico, and is perhaps best known as Suzu Suzuki's Tequila Shot internationally.
