powerbombing
Lifted then dropped
Powerbombing is a professional wrestling move in which a wrestler lifts an opponent onto their shoulders, then slams them down forcefully onto their back.
The move requires significant strength and is considered a high-impact finishing maneuver.
Outside wrestling, powerbomb appears in gaming and internet slang to describe decisively overwhelming or defeating someone: Our team got absolutely powerbombed in the first half.
