Does Tornado Dive = twisting plancha or something else?

Does plancha = cross body block or can it refer to a regular bodyblock (not cross body) as well?

Head tope = tope suicida or something else?

What the hell is a "flagpole drop"?

Tornado dive in TNM is supposed to be an Asai twisting/rolling plancha.

Plancha is a generic term for a "bodyblock," from my experience. Crossbody or otherwise.

A plancha is any dive that hits the opponent with the upper body (so as said above, any bodyblock fits). A tope, by definition, is a dive where you hit the opponent with the head. Hence, having a move called a Head Tope seems a little redundant anyway. Tope Suicida seems like the best bet.
