context_page_description: Strikes are offensive moves in professional wrestling, that can sometimes be used to set up an opponent for a hold or for a throw. There are a wide variety of strikes in pro wrestling, and many are known by several different names. Professional wrestlers frequently give their finishers new names. Occasionally, these names become popular and are used regardless of the wrestler performing the technique.
  Professional wrestling contains a variety of punches and kicks found in martial arts and other fighting sports; the moves listed below are more specific to wrestling itself. Many of the moves below can also be performed from a raised platform; these are called aerial variations. Moves are listed under general categories whenever possible.
context_section_description: This devastating move is where a wrestler grabs the opponent's legs lying on the floor before wrapping them in a standing inverted indian deathlock position and then pulling their arms in a standing surfboard before stomping the back of the opponent's head. This was invented by Super Dragon.
  Seth Rollins' version of the move is a running stomp to the back of the head of a bent-over opponent, forcing the opponent face-first into the ground. It was eventually banned from use by WWE in 2015, before Rollins would return to using this move as a finisher in early 2018. Impact Wrestling wrestler Laurel Van Ness also uses this move as a finishing move.
