I've definitely seen this on old school WWF wrestling. I can't remember which wrestler did it though.

Pretty stinking awesome. Would love to see it done in an actual bout.

I have seen many videos with this move over the past 5 years. Not sure how practical it is, but I have heard people comment that it works well when the attacker weighs less than the target since it leverages well.

The practicality gets me. Someone untrained or such perhaps.

I still ponder his sparring partner's lack of proper/effective defense. The dropping of his guard looks like he is catching the leg and holding on to it rather than blocking much less avoiding the attack.

Your point about weighing less seems salient.

Indeed, his sparring partner didn't seem to be bouncing back to his feet did he?

It looks like a coordinated move for a stunt reel. Nothing wrong with that, but you'd behave to be very lucky to pull it off in a fight.

if do right, no can defense.

I think this sparring partner is a guinea pig for filming this move and he knows what is going to happen, perhaps having practiced it a bit. Still, it definitely looks like it stuns him.

Dancing.
