Lou Thesz

This move, innovated, popularized, and named after Lou Thesz. The attacking wrestler jumps towards a standing opponent and knock him over, resulting in the opponent lying on his back with the attacking wrestler sitting on the opponent's chest, pinning him in a body scissors. There are variations that include punches.

In lucha libre, this move is often seen as a dive, and called La Silla.
