Falcon Arrow?

Can someone tell me exactly what this move is? I've seen it listed as some Japanese wrestler's finisher and in the current export I have of Rhyno, he apparantly does it as well.

I'm just curious as to what the move looks like. Thanks.

It's been in recent Videogames. Here is the best description I could find

Piledriver, Suplex Body Slam through legs
Used by : Hayabusa, Bob Holly
AKA : Falcon Arrow (Hayabusa), Hollycaust (Holly)
Description : The attacker applies a front face lock on the victim and throws the victim's near arm across their shoulders. The attacker grabs the victim's tights and lifts them straight up in the air so they are upside down. The attacker turns the victim slightly as if they are going to body slam the victim. The attacker positions the victim's head down and sits/jumps/drops down, dropping the victim on their head, similar to a Michinoku Driver II.
NOTE : There are two versions of the Falcon Arrow. There is the finisher version discussed above and the version where the attacker sits down and sort of slams the attacker, not dropping them on their head. Perry Saturn and Hayabusa both do this during "fake finishes", basically, they're taking it easy on their opponent by not dropping them on their head when the match has to continue.
Variations :

Essentially, since sometimes the Big Big Book of Wrestling Moves can get really detailed, it's a suplex pickup into a Michinoku Driver.

If you find a Hayabusa match, or buy one of those FMW DVDs with Hayabusa on it, you will most likely catch a glimpse of the Falcon Arrow.
