A Huracarana is a rollup, where the attacker jumps on the attacker's shoulders in a headscissors and pulls them backwards into a cradle. It's a trademark lucha libre move. Huracanranas can be done diving off the top rope, to the floor, from a slingshot, from a springboard, basically any place where an attacker can drop down onto a victim.
Can be spelled Huracarrana or Huracanrana. The name comes from it's inventor, Huracan Ramirez (Daniel Garcia). The ending pin is called a rana in lucha libre, so Ramirez’ special pinning move became known as the Huracanrana. Rey Misterio Jr. brought this move to prominence in the United States.
By definition, a Huracanrana ends in a pin, but any tijeras applied in the same way (from the front, legs draped over the shoulders, knees upward) tends to be called a huracarana, even where the attacker does not - or logically cannot - punctuate it with a hold.
Frankensteiner
The move (or a similar variation) is known as a frankensteiner in the US after Scott Steiner. The frankensteiner does not end into rana. As such, it is treated more like a slam (or driver). Often called a "Franky" by CMLL commentary.
Like the Huracarrana, the frankensteiner can be done as a diving move, a slingshot move, a springboard move, or an off the top rope move.
Reverse Huracarrana
A reverse variation - more accurately called an Inverted Huracarrana - exists where the attacker jumps on the attacker's shoulders in an electric chair position pulling them backwards down onto their face and chest or head. This variation does not end in a rana as well (despite, ironically, often being called the poison 'rana).
Like the Huracarrana, the reverse frankensteiner has can be done as a springboard move (as popularized by Octagón Jr.) or an off the top rope move.
Other variants
- Misteriorana
- Diving Huracarrana (to the floor) (lacks a pin, so technically a tijeras)
- Dragonrana
