10 Craziest High-Flying Moves In Wrestling

8. The Molly-Go-Round

One of the most underrated female wrestlers of all time, Nora €˜Molly Holly€™ Greenwald, invented this variant on the classic seated senton (mostly popularised by Rey Mysterio). Greenwald was a gymnast long before she even considered entering professional wrestling, and one of the last of the truly gifted female wrestlers to join the WWF in the year 2000, just after all female performers began to be called Divas, and just before the majority of them became swimsuit models. The Molly-Go-Round is technically a diving somersault seated senton: performed by flipping forwards from an elevated position onto the shoulders of a standing opponent, forcing them to the mat in a pinning predicament.
