The attacking wrestler hooks one of the opponent's legs under one of their arms, and then turns the opponent face-down, stepping over them in the process. The final position has the dominant wrestler in a semi-sitting position and facing away from the opponent who is lying face-down and their own leg bent backwards toward their head. A variation with the attacking wrestler kneeling side-ways while having the leg hooked can be performed. [[Lance Storm]] used this maneuver as a counter to an oncoming opponent by grabbing one of the opponent's legs in a [[Takedown (grappling)#Single leg takedown|single leg takedown]] and using the momentum to roll backwards into the hold.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/the-50-coolest-maneuvers-of-all-time/page-24|title=the 50 coolest maneuvers of all time|date=2014-02-21|access-date=2014-05-04|publisher=WWE}}</ref>
