Type of Maneuver: One-handed electric chair driver

Who invented the move: Kenny Omega, though others have used similar finishers (such as Chris Sabin's package driver.)

Description: After first hoisting one's opponent to the shoulders, similar to an electric chair drop, one then swings the opponent forward and falls to the mat, driving the opponent head first with the limbs entangled.

Strengths: Devastating and spectacular move.

Weaknesses: Takes a long time to set up (increasing the odds it will be escaped/countered) and difficult to perform against large opponents.

The One Winged Angel is Kenny Omega's finisher. A long time anime and video game RPG fan, Omega named the move for the Final Fantasy main antagonist Sephiroph (who himself was a one-winged angel.) The move bears some similarity to a package driver but starts from the electric chair position.
