Type of Maneuver: Spinning fireman's carry facebuster.

Who invented the Move: Brock Lesnar, though Sean O'Haire and Marc Mero used similar moves.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Description: The person performing the f5 first hefts their opponent up into a fireman's carry. Then, they spin the opponent off their shoulders while falling backward, driving the opponent's face into the mat.

Strengths: Devastating move.

Weaknesses: Easy to counter or escape, does not lead to a pinfall, sometimes the opponent ends up outside of the ring.

Brock Lesnar invented the F5 during his days in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Due to his tremendous strength and athletic ability, Brock is one of the few wrestlers who can actually perform the move well. The F5 gets its name from the Fujita scale, a system of measuring tornado strength. The move involves a cyclone like spin and looks devastating, hence the name.
