Overview
A spinebuster is a professional wrestling move in which an opponent is grabbed by the waist and then slammed down back-first.
The standard variation starts with the wrestler facing their opponent and then grabs them around their waist, lifts them up, and then either slams the opponent down while landing on top of them, or tosses them forward on to their back.
Although it can be used on a stationary opponent, it is usually performed against a charging opponent, using the opponent's own momentum to make the throw more powerful.
It was invented and initially popularized by former WCW wrestler Arn Anderson.
