The Fireman's Carry

The fireman's carry is where one shoots inbetween the opponent's legs and reaches deep (similar to a high-crotch) while maintaining control over an opponent's shoulder with the other arm and dumping them.

I find that this move is rather powerful, especially against bigger fellas since this gets you under them with them still going forward. I don't find this move particularly hard to set up and have had some great success with it.

In judo, you see this move all the time as this is one of the top 5 most used Judo throws in competitions. However, in wrestling this move is much much more rare when compared to the likes of the double leg takedown, or the single leg. Has anybody else here have any success using this move or have any comments to add?
