Tope de Cristo
From Luchawiki
Jump to navigationJump to search


Trademark move of El Santo (and thus also his son, Hijo del Santo). Translates to "Headbutt/Dive of Christ", yet distinct from a Diving Headbutt since the goal is to make impact with the crown of the head.
Can be performed to a downed opponent, or a standing one. The downed version was likely an inspiration for various now-common sentons, like the Tope Atomico & Senton Bomb.
