A spinebuster is a professional wrestling move in which an opponent is grabbed by the waist and then slammed down back-first.
The wrestler starts by facing their opponent and then grabs them around their waist, lifts them up and releases them back-first on the mat.
It was used as a signature move by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who popularized it, and by Nia Jax afterwards.
He then grabs the opponent around the waist or under the arms, lifts him up, and tosses him forward on to his back or slams him down while dropping to a seated position.
Used as a finisher by D'Lo Brown, who called it Sky High, and as a signature by current WWE superstar Drew McIntyre.
Current TNA wrestler Joe Hendry uses this move as a finisher called the Standing Ovation.
The attacker then flings the opponent vertically up into the air before performing a spinebuster in a kneeling position.
A variation of the Fireman's Carry spinebuster, it begins with the wrestler lifting the opponent in a Fireman's Carry position, before grabbing one of his legs with an arm and grabbing his throat with the other before performing a release thrust spinebuster.
When the wrestler is about to release the opponent, he grabs his sides with his hands and then proceeds to slam him down in a seated position.
One of them charges against his opponent first while running before swiftly grabbing both of his legs and lifting him upwards before quickly slamming him in a kneeling position.
One of the most common variations, it starts with a wrestler grabbing a non-charging opponent, hooking his hip and one of his legs with his arms before slamming him down while kneeling completely on the ground to apply more pressure.
He then proceeds to lift the attacker high upon is head before violently slamming him down in a seated position.
