A '''moonsault''' or '''moonsault press''' is a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques|professional wrestling aerial technique]] with much of its popularity in [[List of professional wrestling styles#American Wrestling|American wrestling]] being attributed to ''The Great Brandon

'', also known as [[Keiji Mutoh]].

===Writers and intellectuals===

In a standard moonsault, which is generally attempted from the top rope, a wrestler faces away from the prone opponent and executes a backflip landing on the opponent in a [[Professional wrestling aerial attacks#Splash|splash]]/press position but facing towards the elevated position. Though this move is generally attempted from the top rope to an opponent laying face up in the mat, myriad variations exist, including moonsaults that see the wrestler land on a standing opponent and forcing them down to the mat. In [[kayfabe]], the move is considered a higher-impact version of a splash, since the wrestler utilizes rotational speed.

===Political leaders===

As this move wears down the knees of the user (from repeated impacts), wrestlers often do not perform the moonsault for a long period of their career.

===Religious leaders===

A less common variation sees the wrestler perform a moonsault on a standing opponent, with the torso of the wrestler striking the torso of the opponent (albeit upside down), forcing the opponent backwards and to the ground with the opponent on top of them, usually placing the opponent in a pinning predicament. Most of the variations listed below can also be performed on standing opponents.

==Variations==

*[[Bert Williams]]

*[[Anna Maria Horsford]] - Actress (of Antiguan descent)

screw moonsault ===

*[[Conrad Roberts]]

This is a twisting moonsault in which the attacker stands on an elevated platform, such as the top rope, and performs a moonsault with a 360° twist or multiple twists, landing as if performing a normal moonsault.

===Artists===

The corkscrew moonsault was innovated by [[female]] [[Japan]]ese wrestler [[Chaparrita Asari]]. [[Jack Evans]] often uses the move from a standing position while [[David Cash|Kid Kash]] uses a variation of this move dubbed the '''Money Roll''', which is best described as an ''[[#Springboard moonsault|twisting Asai moonsault]]''.

=== Double moonsault Athletes===

* [[Vivian Richards|Sir Issac Vivian Richards]] - Cricketer

This is a '''double rotation moonsault''' where another rotation is performed after the initial moonsault. There are two major variants of the double moonsault, an [[#Springboard moonsault|Asai moonsault]] version and a normal moonsault from the top turnbuckle to the inside of the ring with two rotations.

==[[The Bahamas]]==

The first variation, also known as the '''720° Moonsault''', sees a wrestler who is standing on the apron, with a wrestler on the floor behind them, jump up on to either the first or second rope and perform and backflip as in to perform an [[#Springboard moonsault|Asai moonsault]] but while in mid air tucks their legs reducing resistance and performs a second complete backflip after the first one, landing on a standing opponent below. This is the more common of the two variants due to the increased airtime of the springboard and height from the springboard to the floor. This variant is closely associated with [[Jack Evans]] who popularised it as the '''Stuntin' 101'''. Evans is also known to perform a [[#Corkscrew moonsault|corkscrew version]] of this variant.

*[[Christopher Brown]]

*[[Tonique Williams]]

===Political leaders===

The second variation, also known as a '''540° Moonsault''', sees a wrestler ascend to the top rope and perform a backflip while tucking their legs. This allows the wrestler to have lesser resistance and continues to rotate after the initial first 360° for another 180° completing the second rotation onto an opponent laying on the mat.

*[[Earl Maynard]]

Called '''La Quebrada''' in [[Mexico]] sometimes shortened to simply '''Quebrada''', this is a move in which a wrestler [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Springboard|springboards]] (bounces off ropes) then executes a backflip and lands on an opponent. It was invented by the [[Luchador]] [[Fantasma de la Quebrada]]. In the [[United States]], it is also known as a '''Lionsault''', a name adopted due to its usage by [[Chris Jericho]].

*[[Sidney Poitier]]

*[[Roxie Roker]]

==[[Barbados]]==

When a springboard moonsault is performed onto an opponent on the floor outside the ring, rather than one in the ring, it is called an '''Asai moonsault''', named after the man who popularised its use in modern wrestling [[Yoshihiro Asai]], better known in the United States by his [[ring name]] ''Último Dragón''.

[[Takao Yoshida|TAKA Michinoku]] popularized a variation of the Asai moonsault called the '''Uchujin Quebrada (宇宙人ケブラーダ)'''. This translates literally as ''Spaceman Quebrada'', conveying the gravity defying nature of the move. From a running start, TAKA jumps to the top rope, rotating 180º laterally so as to land on the top rope facing the ring and proceeds to perform a moonsault to an opponent standing on the floor.

*[[William Shorey]]

===Musicians===

[[A.J. Styles]] uses a variation where he performs a quebrada, but instead of impacting the opponent he grabs the opponent's head in an [[Professional wrestling holds#Inverted facelock|inverted facelock]] and lands on his feet behind the opponent. He then follows up with an [[DDT (professional wrestling)#Inverted DDT|inverted DDT]]. This move has been called the '''Phenomenon''' or '''Stylin' DDT'''.

*Sir [[Grantley Adams]]

This is a variation of springboard moonsault. This variation sees the wrestler bounces off the middle-rope to elevate himself/herself to the top-rope from where he/she bounces off to perform the moonsault. This version of a moonsault is often referred to as a '''picture perfect moonsault''' or '''double springboard moonsault'''.

=== Standing moonsault ===

*[[Justin Catayée]]

Also known as a '''backflip splash'''. A move in which a wrestler, who is standing next to an opponent lying on the ground executes a backflip and lands on him. Many competitors add something to the move to make it their own before performing the backflip. Some do a dance, while others perform moves like [[cartwheel (gymnastics)|cartwheel]]s to build momentum.
