There is a wide variety of aerial techniques in pro wrestling. Many moves are known by several different names. Professional wrestlers frequently give their "finishers" (signature moves that usually result in a win) new names. Occasionally these names become popular and are used regardless of the wrestler performing the technique.

As a result of injuries being caused by these high risk moves many promotions ban the use of some maneuvers, or at least tell wrestlers to "tone down" their use. World Wrestling Entertainment only recently banned the use of the 450 Splash and Shooting Star Press moves.
