History Main / BellyFlopCrushing

* In YugiOhGX Don Zaloog suffers this against Chazz in their duel: Powered by Ojamuscle, the Ojama King bulks up and leaps into the air above Don Zaloog (who had put himself onto the field). When the King is overhead, [[OhCrap he realizes]] what's about to happen. All that's left of Zaloog is his eyepatch.

* [[Wrestling/JimmySnuka Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka]] was famous for his top rope splash finisher, most memorably when he did it from the top of a steel cage. Later acts such as Val Venis and Erica Porter would later use the move as well. Wrestling/TheUsos and his own daughter Wrestling/{{Tamina}} are known for often jumping much higher than needed off the turn buckle.

** Wrestling/BrodusClay was also known for using this move, which was referred to as "splat", sometimes done in tandem with Sweet Tea (Lord Tensai) for the "double splat". The Ultimate Warrior also used it to cap off his FiveMovesOfDoom.

* Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger introduced to wrestling what would be known as the shooting star press, named because he got the idea from reading ''Fist of The North Star'', which involves doing a back flip while jumping forward before landing in a pinning position(on your belly). Billy Kidman would invent the most common way the move is used while falling short of imitating him and Evan Bourne is known for jumping higher than average while preforming it.
* Big Van Wrestling/{{Vader}}'s Vader crush was a running or standing splash and the more powerful Vader Bomb was a pseudo slingshot splash that gained notoriety after it legitimately injured someone. Jack Swagger has been seen using the Vader bomb on WWE television.

* Variations of the splash include belly flopping into an opponent in the corner or having an opponent crushed between two wrestlers running into him from different sides.

* The most common form of the moonsault lands this way, at least when done to a downed a opponent.

* Big Van Wrestling/{{Vader}}'s Vader attack was a running or standing splash and the more powerful Vader Bomb was a pseudo slingshot splash that gained notoriety after it legitimately injured someone. Jack Swagger has been seen using the Vader bomb on WWE television.

* Two major acts on the old British professional circuit were the superstar, super-mega-heavyweights, "Big Daddy" and "Giant Haystacks"(refer to picture, top right). Both were large imposing men who stood way over six feet and weighed in at around 30-35 stone. (350-400 pounds). ''Each''. Big Daddy's signature play, imitated by Haystacks, was exactly this - the belly flop crush. Billed as deadly enemies, a fight between the two necessitated a specially built ring capable of taking the impact. Big Daddy was billed as a patriotic Yorkshire Englishman and good guy: Haystacks was the baddie, an Irish Traveller who played on prejudices against both the Irish and gypsies (this was the 1970's, the height of the Irish terrorist bombing campaign). The fights were necessarily short, as both wrestlers lacked stamina for long bouts.

* Art Barr of Los Gringos Locos popularized the "frog splash" which was top rope like Jimmy Snuka's but involved jumping still crunched and unfolding in midair before landing (or jacknifing before landing, same visual effect). Eddie Guerrero would take up using the frog splash to honor his memory and several more wrestlers would take it up to honor Eddie's.

* Rob Van Dam has the five star frog splash in which he gives his signature thumbs at self taunt in midair before connecting and is noted for often hurting himself because of the nature of it. He also likes a split legged version of the moonsault.
* Too Cold Scorpio introduced the wrestling world to what is now known at the four fifty splash, which involves making two rotations before landing on your belly. Paul London and Justin Gabriel would later introduce it to WWE fans. Some wrestlers such as Yoshitsune and Rich Swann have taking to using an "imploding" 450 splash, which is doing the move backwards.
* Jushin Thunder Liger introduced to wrestling what would be known as the shooting star press, named because he got the idea from reading ''Fist of The North Star'', which involves doing a back flip while jumping forward before landing in a pinning position(on your belly).

* During Po and Tai Lung's final fight in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', the latter launches himself to attack the former, but Po (to quote himself: THE big fat panda) simply does a belly thrust and then bounces Tai Lung up high.

This would also count if a Body Slam is used by the bigger character on the smaller character.

* The iconic image would be hippo and alligator ballet from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.

* In ''The Happiness Of The Katakuris'', a Japanese live action movie about a family run hotel where every guest who checks in dies in an unexpected way, includes a sumo wrestler who has a heart attack on top of his girlfriend, causing them both to die. He didn't jump on her though.

->Allow me to make amends by...what? BLOATING TO GARGANTUAN SIZE AND SQUASHING YOU LIKE THE INSIGNIFICANT BUG THAT YOU ARE!
-->--Sir Raleigh, ''VideoGame/SlyCooper''

* In the first ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' game, this is Raleigh's primary form of attack; that is, [[BalloonBelly he inflates himself]] and bounces around the arena, trying to crush you.

* Don Zaloog suffers this against Chazz in their duel: Powered by Ojamuscle, the Ojama King bulks up and leaps into the air above Don Zaloog (who had put himself onto the field). When the King is overhead, [[OhCrap he realizes]] what's about to happen. All that's left of Zaloog is his eyepatch.

* ''Videogame/CrashBandicoot'' can do one of these as well, and it works, despite his rather slender build in comparison to most in here.

* Jessie and James got flattened under a Snorlax's belly in one ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode. Its trainer woke it up and it ate a pile of thorns,then went back to sleep and rolled on them.
