How to Do a Swanton Bomb in Wrestling

The swanton bomb is a wrestling move made famous by professional wrestler Jeff Hardy. He stands above his opponent, who lies on his back, then performs a laid out swan dive and flips over at the last second. As a result, his opponent's belly ends up over his back.

Instructions

    • 1

      Elevate yourself. The swanton bomb is typically performed from a position higher than the top turnbuckle of a wrestling ring.

    • 2

      Stand facing your opponent with your hands out in front of you.

    • 3

      Dive as if you're performing a swan dive. Keep your back and legs straight so you're diving in a laid out position.

    • 4

      Tuck your head and do a somersault in the air just before you land, so that you end up on your back rather than your stomach.
