Adopted as a finisher by Brock Lesnar, this move proceeds from a fireman’s carry where the opponent is swirled around the shoulder of the attacker to the mat, with his face hitting it first. The F5 is often billed as one of the most destructive finishers in pro wrestling in a manner echoing the character of the ‘Beast Incarnate’.

However, the move can be countered into a tornado DDT once it is in motion, as had been done by Eddie Guerrero in No Way Out in 2004. The F5 is one of the most impactful finishers to follow a fireman’s carry and has been used by a handful of wrestlers besides Lesnar such as Matt Morgan and The Big Show.

All in all, the selling of this move signifies the climactic stage of a match or segment and attests to the wreckage that such a character as Lesnar is capable of.
