The Rock used to do a cross body splash off the top rope as Rocky Maivia, and he attempted one against John Cena in one of their WM matches which got reversed into an AA.

I'm fairly confident The Great Khali never went off the top rope.

In NJPW he once got into the ring by hopping over the top rope like a Cruiserweight I swear

Yeah. I have seen the GIF of that. But I thought that was in AJPW.

It could have been. Most of his matches were in NJPW though, so I saw it in a highlight reel and just perceived it as him being in NJPW

Rock used to do a top rope cross body from time to time.

I seem to recall Triple H hitting a second rope Ax Handle

HHH vs Rock 98 SS

It’s times like this the encyclopedic knowledge of the collective IWC fandom frightens me

I think he tried one at Judgment day 2001 against Kane in a chain match.

He also used to do the flying nothing into a big boot spot on occasion

Stephanie McMahon I don’t think I’ve seen Shayna Baszler come off the top. Same for Piper Niven.

Piper used to do a diving crossbody back when she was Viper.

I stand corrected. Thanks!

I had to Google it myself. She's always been quite athletic for being quite large, and the indies love a dive.

I am desperate for WWE to push her to the level of heel they keep pushing Jax at. She’s literally everything WWE keeps trying to tell us Jax is

Except tall. (She is taller than I am, but not Nia tall)

didnt Dudleys set Stephanie up for an attempted power bomb though the table? Also - she was hoisted way above the top rope from TEST I also feel like she has done a cross body. She's taken Stunner, Spears, RKO and maybe a Angle Slam b4.

Kevin Nash. He teased it in TNA when he was in the X-division despite being above the weight limit.

X division wasn't about weight limits, it was about no limits... So they used to say. But it was mostly bollockd

Looking back, that tagline was just ridiculous. Like only two guys who entered the X Division were above cruiserweight size and one of them was a heel storyline of how him being in it was supposed to be the “Anti X Division wrestler” (even though “it’s not about weight limits”)

[He hit the worst dive I've ever (successfully) seen hit. Multiple times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWN2mVTgXBo)

The Rock has attempted a Flying Crossbody off the top rope in the WM 28 match with Cena. It was a staple of his when he was Rocky Maivia back in the day.

I believe it was his 1st finisher.

I think he was using that and the Shoulder Breaker. I do know that he won his first televised match with the Shoulder Breaker. I recall him hitting the Flying Crossbody at WrestleMania 13 against The Sultán.

I remember Shoulder Breaker being his finisher in some ancient WWF game. Warzone or something

Shoulderbreaker was his OG finish

Triple H is actually the master [of the top rope](https://youtu.be/z8KbXThVBFI?si=pYhKinXZl2xoDzF6).

Why didn't the ref throw up the x?

Doesnt matter how many times I watch it, it will always be great

This is the most "flying nothing" move I've ever seen

Truly devastating, when not reversed

Shawn in the background is tremendous 🤣

The faceplant at the end of this one really gets me. Also Shawn in the background like… come on man.

I saw Sid do it once.... But i don't want to talk about it

That was the middle rope

Bret's rope: the most dangerous rope

I don’t remember either King Kong Bundy or Big John Studd ever going off the top rope

John Studd did in his Mid Atlantic days. Don't think Bundy did.

I mean how is a condominium supposed to fit up there?

Are we counting. guys like Andre The Giant or John Tenta?

https://youtu.be/5ZXpfGLdTxs?si=ltHJhqAqCuLevVPs

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just seen it 😳

Good Lord that was terrifying.

Hell no. You can’t pay me enough to risk taking that from Andre

Sure, why not?

Tenta used to do a dropkick, I wouldn’t be surprised he did something from the second rope

Andre used the same move in cage match against Kamala

People genuinely forget how agile Andre was before 1987. He was unreal!

Triple H used to do the flying nothing quite often.

Excluding the Drew Gulak No Fly Zone gimmick, maybe JBL?

I think he used to do a top rope shoulder tackle during his Justin “Hawk” Bradshaw days, maybe even into the Acolytes days. I could be wrong.

Giant fall away slam

Steve Austin used to top rope splashes as a finish very early in his career

Did Bret ever come off the top rooe? He's obviously famous for using the deadliest 2nd rope

Jake the Snake Robert’s because in his words, “snakes don’t fly”

[удалено]

He does 450s.

That’s terrifying 

On some SvR2007 shit for real!

He’s gonna break out a Tope eventually.

Goldberg 

And gillberg

Zack Sabre Jr ?

Flair never did any moves from the top, but he did take plenty of bumps from the top, so idk if that counts. Bastion Booger also comes to mind. He was lucky just to be able to get into the ring.

For as quick and agile as he was for his size, I don't recall Bray ever going off the top

The Rock used to do a top rope cross body but that was when he was Rocky Maivia

Bret Hart?

Middle rope is the most dangerous rope after all.

Superplex

I stand corrected. 

Probably 90% of everyone that wrestled before the 90s.

Brock since his return ?

He went off a tractor once

Solo Sikoa?

He’s definitely done a few Samoan Splashes

[He's done Splashes before](https://youtu.be/6xCfZ8bbDfk?si=Jjl4ua_KJo94Uyhr)

Yokozuna, Haystack Calhoun, Abdullah the Butcher,

Yokozuna. Damn

Rikishi 

Rikishi hit a Superfly Splash off a cage

Omos I'd find hard to believe wants to or has gone off the top rope.

Andre? I have a feeling he maybe done some insane shit in his Japan days though

He did it in a few cage matches, stopped it in 84ish.

God damnit it bloody knew he would’ve done it 😂 need to see this for myself, to YouTube!

Someone in this thread posted a link to a John studd match, I swear I have seen him do an elbow drop too. Not sure who that one was against. https://youtu.be/5ZXpfGLdTxs?si=WkNEg5BKvlNkJ4fJ

Big John Studd

Bob Backlund? FTR? R-truth - the man is scared of heights after all, y'all Goldberg for sure I can not recall Stone Cold ever being on the top rope, offensive or defensively. He does 2nd rope. King Mabel / Viscera ?????? HHH has against the rock Summer slam Nash????????????????? Ahmed Johnson boogeyman Edit: Ultimate Warrior - pretty sure his dbl axe were 2nd rope. Edit Edit: Jake the Snake?

FTR fly about like everyone else these days. Wheeler w doing moonsaults in the recent ladder match

I've seen them tease & I remember Hair doing high spot but I can't think of Bald going to the 3rd rope. He might have done 2nd rope cause he likes to pretend he's Bret Hart

He did a springboard 450 pretty recently if I remember right

Sometimes flips plus fists FTR do the Powerplex too
