The wrestler will then walk across the apron and execute a leg drop onto the opponent's sternum, causing both of them to fall and land on the outside of the ring.
The running leg drop is famously Hulk Hogan's finishing move, usually preceded by a big boot.
[citation needed] Sliding leg drop This variation sees the attacker perform a running or baseball slide towards an opponent lying on the mat, before using their momentum to perform a leg drop on the opponent's head, midsection, or back.
An attacking wrestler performs a jumping forward somersault to drop their leg across the throat or chest of an opponent.
There is also a variation where the leg that will be dropped on the opponent is swung forward while in a standing position next to the opponent, then swiftly swung back so the momentum from the pendulum motion carries the attacker through a somersault and the leg is dropped on whichever body part is targeted.
