10 devastating top rope pro wrestling moves

#9 Frog Splash

Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero unleashes the frog splash on the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Eddie was the only person to pin Lesnar for a title until Roman Reigns repeated the feat

Used by: Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam, Art Barr

Strengths: Dynamic and exciting, easily leads into a pinfall, one of the simpler aerial moves to master

Weaknesses: Opponent must be prone or really ragged to connect, can be dangerous to perform (Eddie Guerrero once dislocated his elbow performing the move.)

When you hear the words 'frog splash,' one name instantly comes to mind; Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero. This has led many fans and wrestling critics alike to believe that Eddie actually invented the move, but he did not.

Eddie's former tag team partner Art Barr -- also known as the Juicer in WCW -- invented the move but called it the Jackknife Splash. Their friend Too Cold Scorpio said it looked like a jumping frog, so Art changed the name to Frog Splash. Eddie popularized the move as a tribute to Art Barr after Barr's untimely death.

To perform a frog splash, one first ascends to the top rope and sights up one's opponent. The aggressor then leaps off, folding their body in mid-air to create extra impact upon landing. Variants include leaping off the middle turnbuckle (often called a tadpole splash) and Rob Van Dam's five-star version, which starts much higher in the air.
