Strengths: An amazing looking move that uses rotation to inflict extra impact/damage, leads directly into a pinfall attempt.
Weaknesses: Difficult to perform, opponent must be ragged/prone to attempt.
There is a lot of controversy attached to the 450 splash. Many credit Scott Steiner with its invention, but a Mexican grappler known as Black Gordman was using the move against El Santo in the 1960s. Most people credit Flash Funk/Too Cold Scorpio for popularizing the move in the west.
To perform a 450 splash, the aggressor climbs to the top turnbuckle and then pitches a forward somersault and an extra half twist. This is where the 450 comes from, a 360-degree rotation with a little something extra. The aggressor lands across his opponent's body and directly leads to a pinfall attempt.
