Article: Perform the tombstone face to face with your opponent and arm length apart. Get into the starting position by grabbing their right shoulder with your left hand. In a professional setting, the tombstone often starts with a kick or by throwing your opponent against the ropes. Do not try these yet. Just get the basics of the move down first. If you're left-handed, reverse these instructions. Some piledrivers are performed with the opponent facing away from you, but this wouldn't be a tombstone piledriver. Continue holding your opponent's shoulder. Then lift their left arm and tuck your right hand underneath it. Place your hand on their upper arm, just above the armpit. Lift their arm and bring it towards your left side. Tuck your head down under their arm. Then rest the arm on your left shoulder. Keep holding their right shoulder with your left hand while you flip their other arm. While keeping their arm over your shoulder and your left hand on their shoulder, reach down with your right hand. Grab the inside of the opponent's thigh a few inches down from their groin. You may have to bend down a bit to reach their leg, depending on how tall you both are. If you do have to bend, lower your body with your legs by bending your knees. Bending over from your hips stresses your back too much. Get a firm grip on the opponent's leg and shoulder. Then flip them by swinging their legs to your right and rotating them 180 degrees. Point their legs straight up in the air. Both people need to work together at this part especially. The opponent has to jump while you lift. Otherwise you could seriously injure your back trying to lift that much weight. Stand up straight so your body is in a good position to support your opponent's weight. Then rest them on your shoulder by folding their hips over your shoulder. Don't slouch or bend, or you risk injuring your back. Remember that your opponent has to help you here. They shouldn't be dead weight. Make sure they hold onto you and point their legs up to help you support their weight. Once you're supporting your opponent's weight, quickly wrap your arms just below their chest. Make sure you have a firm grip and the opponent's weight won't shift when you execute the move. For the firmest grip, lock your hands together behind the opponent's back rather than trying to grab your opponent directly. At the same time, your opponent should wrap their arms around you as well. This holds them in place during the move. This is the key part of the tombstone. It looks like you're slamming their head into the mat, but in reality, only your knees hit the mat. Hold your partner so the top of their head is 6 inches (15cm) from your knees. This leaves plenty of room so their head won't hit the ground. Communicate with your partner during this part. Let them tell you if their head is too low. As you get more experienced, you can hold them closer to your knees to make the move look more realistic. But when you're starting, keep their head a good distance from your knees. At this point, abort the move if your partner's head is too low. Put them down and redo the setup. Never try the move while your partner's head is too low or you could break their neck. Hold onto your partner firmly and make sure they're doing the same. Then drop your knees to the ground so they slam the mat with a loud "thud." Don't drop your arms at all. Keep your opponent's head above your knees through the whole movement. Some wrestlers add a slight jump before they drop their knees to amplify the sound and drama. Add that later on when you're more experienced. Don't try to jump while you're a beginner. Wear kneepads to avoid bruising your knees while you practice. Once your knees make impact, let your partner go. Open your arms and let them roll away from you. If they roll backwards properly, their back and feet will hit the mat as they drop. This completes the move. Check with your partner to make sure they're okay after finishing the move. In a match or show, you can follow up the piledriver with a pin. Make sure your partner is okay before doing any further moves.
