Also known as: never EVER try this at home

Moves from the top turnbuckle can backfire very easily (just ask Sin Cara), and when they do, they can be either silly botches with little-to-no long-term damage to either wrestler involved (as long as you exclude a bruised ego), or they can cause serious damage. 

Though most of these moves are simple in execution yet look devastating on TV, there are a few moves that either look like mistakes, or are simply so devastating that you’d be forgiven for being convinced that they were mistakes. This is one of those latter cases.

 The Victory Star Drop is, to put it lightly, a top-rope body-scissors back flip into a kneeling back-to-back piledriver. In other words, the user (or in this case, the only person in the world with the bravery to pull this off, its creator, Manami Toyota), would stand behind her opponent on the top rope (as in an inverted Frankensteiner), wrap her legs around her opponent’s torso, flip herself and her opponent backwards, and drive her opponent’s head into the mat while she would land in a kneeling position.

Aja Kong, one of the few people courageous enough to take this move, must be very lucky to still be wrestling…and alive, for that matter.
