Also the name of a lucahdor.

A corkscrew moonsault. Originally described here as "A backflip, spun twice into a senton", although the landing would sometimes be a splash. Alternatively, some - like Capitán Suicida - consistently only perform half a rotation, as to always end in a senton.
Innovated by Chaparrita Asari, and further popularized in later decades by talents such as Hector Garza and Stephanie Vaquer.
Asari would also occasionally do a front-facing version (i.e. a spiral senton), which is best known in lucha libre circles as Teddy Hart's Open Hart Surgery.
