5. Asai Moonsault
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCv4KCBc52o A lot of fans know what a moonsault is. It's when a wrestler goes on the top, turns his/her back to the ring and jumps backwards so that they land on their stomach onto a standing or fallen opponent. It's even better when it's done outside the ring. An Asai Moonsault is when a wrestler is standing on the apron, then jumps onto the ropes and does the moonsault that way. It's a much harder version of the move because if you lose your balance it could be very painful. The reason it's called an Asai Moonsault is because it was a move that Ultimo Dragon started doing. Most people do the move off the middle rope, but some guys in today's WWE (like Neville) jump to the top rope and it looks amazing. There have also been times when the great Shawn Michaels did the move onto the announce table and if the guy moved, he would end up taking a hard bump on his ribs. Very risky.
