Did you see that in an export somewhere?

My guess is that it's someone's gimmick name for a frog splash, hence a pumping motion

I don't think I've seen it in any exports but I have seen it in several show recaps by different online writers.

Pump splash would seem to make sense for a frog splash for the reason you gave, but I think it's something else.

Based on the matches its mentioned in, it would something done by Vader, Abyss, Terry Taylor, Arn Anderson, and Ultimate Warrior.

I'm thinking it might refer to either a regular splash or a corner splash (i.e. avalanche) with theatrics?

I don't really know for sure, but based on the list of wrestlers you mentioned, it sounds like it could be a standing frog splash.  The frog splash "pump" motion but just from the mat, not the top rope.

Just found out, it's a reverse splash off the second rope, AKA the Vader Bomb/Big Van Crush

I could see how Vader and Warrior's standing splashes would definately fit as a "Pump Splash", if someone named it that.

Or... It could be what he said (Outposting me be seconds... Ya bastid)
