Type of Maneuver: Top rope splash.

Who invented the move: Credited to Jack Evans, but popularized by Ricochet/Prince Puma.

Description: With the opponent lying prone on the mat, one ascends to the top rope and hurls oneself off with a high speed forward rotation. The wrestler must complete a full somersault and a half before impact for it to be a true 630 Senton.

Strengths: A real crowd-pleasing move, hits with a lot of impact.

Weaknesses: Can only be performed on a prone opponent, does not lead directly into a pinfall attempt, dangerous.

The 630 Senton is one of the most dazzling, most difficult, and most impressive moves in pro wrestling today. Most fans are familiar with Ricochet using the move in NXT but it was also used extensively by Jack Evans in Mexico.
