caption_attribution_description: English: Wrestler Jewells Malone (in purple) executing a sidewalk slam on Beautiful Beaa
context_page_description: A powerslam is a professional wrestling body slam move in which the wrestler performing the slam falls face-down on top of his/her opponent. The use of the term "powerslam" usually refers to the front powerslam and the scoop powerslam.
context_section_description: In this elevated side slam variation, the wrestler grabs a front facelock on the opponent and wraps their arm over the opponent's neck. The wrestler then lifts the opponent upside down, as in a vertical suplex. The wrestler moves his arm from around the opponent's neck, and as the opponent falls back down they are placed into a side slam position and dropped on the mat. This was Hirooki Goto's former finisher as Shouten. He now uses a sitout variant which he called the Shouten Kai. Professional wrestler Matt Morgan used this move as a finisher during his tenure in TNA calling it the Hellevator.
