Side Slam
From Luchawiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Powerslam performed by reaching across the opponent's chest whilst both standing - ala an Exploder Suplex or Uranage - lifting them, and driving them down back first.
Multiple variations exist. The Spanish Fly is particularly popular in lucha. Another common one being the Swinging Side Slam, wherein the attacker holds the recipient's entire body horizontally across their chest, and swings them sideways into the landing position (typically whilst performing a sit-out). Abyss popularized a spinning variant, dubbed the Black Hole Slam. Shuji Kondo had multiple variants, including The Original (a pop-up side slam) and two set-up by spears.
