This move is often used by big rudos on smaller tecnicos. The rudo will whip the tecnico into the ropes, elevate him into the air and then let him drop on his own chest/face.

This will often used to set up moves, and can be counted by an armdrag or even a 'rana.

In English-speaking wrestling circles, a "flapjack" specifically refers to a more controlled version, wherein the attacker grabs their oncoming opponent by the legs, stands up, and falls backwards. The term "pop-up" is instead used for the technique described on this page, and can be used to set up the opponent to fall into a multitude of precision- strikes or power moves (most notably; powerbombs).
