Invented by Mando Guerrero, Eddie Guerreros older brother, and popularised in the east by The Great Muta and in the west by Lanny Poffo (the younger brother of the Macho Man Randy Savage), the moonsault has since mutated into dozens of variations on the theme. You could argue until youre blue in the face over whos got the finest moonsault, just as you could over who has the greatest dropkick. For years, WWF/WWE fans have gone on about whether Chris Jerichos springboard Lionsault is better than Matt Hardys almost perfect classic moonsault from the turnbuckle and weve already gone over John Morrisons loopy Starship Pain and the glorious simplicity of the moonsault senton. So which is it going to be? Our money is on the nutty perfection of the 720 moonsault, performed best by the amazing Jack Evans. Its a double rotation moonsault (hence the name two 360 rotations), usually performed as a high spot using the ropes as a springboard to the outside to maximise height and effect
