History Main / SuplexFinisher

* ''Anime/RinneNoLagrange'' has one at the end of the first episode with [[InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha two mechas.]]

* Another MMA example. In his fight against Fedor Emelianenko, Kevin Randleman has executed one of the most devastating suplexes ever (including in pro wrestling). Despite landing right on his head, Emelianenko amazingly won the fight by submission just 45 seconds after the move.

* ''VideoGame/KensaiSacredFist'' as poor Ann Griffith learns in the demo, pro-wrestler David Human has a combination attack that links 4 German Supplexes before finishing with a flying piledriver. Only characters with full or almost full health can survive this particular move.

* The German suplex has occasionally been used as a tackle in American football, as that robs the ball-carrier of at least a yard.

** In ''WesternAnimation/CrisisOnTwoEarths'', she does this to Superwoman, shortly before she elbow-drops her and ties her up with the Lasso of Truth.

** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Nero continues the wrestling tradition against more demons, and it only gets better after [[spoiler:he regrowing his lost arm and awakens his true Devil Trigger]]. He can even do this to [[spoiler:his father Vergil, who he can suplex ''right out of the air'' during their final battle when he's going in for a dive-bomb attack in ''[[SuperMode Sin Devil Trigger]]'']].

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' has Leon being able to apply a lethal Northern Lights suplex which could cause Instant Death on some enemies. Instant ''[[YourHeadASplode head-exploding]]'' death. Josh Stone and Jake Muller maintain the tradition in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 6]]'' respectively - while Leon does reappear in the latter, he drops the suplex in favor of a ''seoi-nage'' shoulder throw.

* ''Fanfic/{{Dragonspawn}}'' has Shishida manage to suplex Ryuuzaki, [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons an actual fucking dragon]].

** [[{{Cyborg}} Cyrax's]] X-ray move has him blast his opponent in the air, then flying up and shattering the back of their ribs with a solid kick. ''Then'' he tombstone-piledrives them into the ground, breaking their neck and skull.

** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'': [[SuperSmoke Smoke's]] [[LimitBreak X-Ray move]] is a suplex that shatters his opponent's skull and spinal cord. He then proceeds to kick them square in the face, shattering their skull ''even more.''

* In ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'', the principal fights a deer in the schoolyard ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext don't ask]]) and ultimately subdues it with a suplex (pictured above).

* ''Fanfic/Dragonspawn'' has Shishida manage to suplex Ryuuzaki, [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons an actual fucking dragon]].

* ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' lets you do this as Haggar to various mooks.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' episode, "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!", a woman Scrooge mistakes for F.O.W.L. Agent Black Heron does this to Scrooge at the beginning of the episode.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' season 1 episode 22, Sadlygrove does a Suplex Finisher to one of Rubilax's stone clones.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', "ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything": Franchise/WonderWoman suplexes Mongul, [[ImplacableMan though it barely fazes him]].

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'': Superman's "Brutality" [[{{Bowdlerise}} (essentially a non-fatal Fatality)]] has him take his opponent up in the air and plant them straight into the ground.
