Also called a T-Bone Suplex, the exploder suplex is a variant of a belly-to-belly suplex. The wrestler performing the Exploder suplex seizes the opponent in a head-and-shoulder hold as in a side slam, and takes hold of the opponent's near leg's upper thigh with his free arm, and then falls backwards and throws him/her overhead down to the mat on their shoulders and upper back, in the same motion as a belly-to-belly.

Jun Akiyama innovated the Exploder '98, an exploder suplex that applies a wrist-clutch under the opponents legs as to force their head & neck down to the mat with more force.
