powerbomb
Lift and slam
A powerbomb is a professional wrestling move where a wrestler lifts an opponent onto their shoulders, then slams them back-first onto the mat.
It's a signature finishing move for many wrestlers.
The term extends to any forceful, dominant takedown: He powerbombed me in that argument.
