*** ComicBook/{{Colossus}} has this kind of move, named Giant Swing, which currently serves as the page image. Rapidly rotating the joystick after he's grabbed someone will causehim to spin faster and increase the damage it does.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'', this is one of Rude's attacks, possibly meant as a ShoutOut to [[Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli Cesaro]] since as a bald man with CoolShades he resembles the WWE wrestler.

* In the [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 3DS]] [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', Link can do this to Twinmold while wearing the Giant's Mask. After stunning one he can grab its tail, swing it around a few times then smash its head into the ground. It's just as awesome and funny as it sounds.

* ''VideoGame/TheNinjaWarriorsAgain'', the large robot Ninja can easily grab human-sized enemies - then instantly gets behind t he foe to hold them under the armpits and spin them around before sending them flying for heavy damage.

* In the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' video game for UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, Sailor Jupiter has a move where she grabs an enemy by the legs, spins it around a few times to mow down anyone nearby, then throws it a considerable distance. It's one of the most damaging moves in the game if she can get enough spins done before throwing, and it's rather hilarious to see this done by a teenage girl.

* In every version of the ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame'', the Turtles have the ability to spin mooks around and [[CameraAbuse hurl them into the player's screen]].

* The Giant Swing is a regular move that appears in the ''[[VideoGame/LikeADragon Yakuza]]'' series, being available to Kiryu or Saejima through a [[LimitBreak HEAT action]] or as a regular move. It's usually used on an opponent to spin them around and be used [[GrievousHarmWithABody to hit their buddies]] or be spun straight into a nearby lamp post/tree head-first, though there's a few other ways a Giant Swing can be utilized. This isn't limited to the player either; certain enemies (mostly the larger and stronger ones) can even use this move on the protagonists if they aren't careful. In games that use the Dragon Engine[[note]]from ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'' and ''[[VideoGame/Yakuza2 Kiwami 2]]'' onward[[/note]], be prepared to be sent flying and ragdolling thanks to the series' new physics engine.

* ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules is fond of this trope. However, when he attempted to use this on [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], who himself uses this at times, Hulk just punched Herc in the chest, making him lose his grip.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': When ComicBook/WonderGirl (Cassie) is trying to get ComicBook/{{Artemis}} to stop trying to kill ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}, whom she's been misled to think is a heartless monster, she grabs the older Amazon by the hair and swings her into a couple of things before doing a spin and letting go to toss Temi away from Etrigan.

* Tamaki Kousaka, one of the main heroines of ''VisualNovel/ToHeart2'', [[GlacierWaif serves as the resident grappler]] in ''VideoGame/{{Aquapazza}}'', complete with the Giant Swing as a command throw. [[ForMassiveDamage Where things really get crazy]] is her Full Discipline Super Move, which sees Tamaki perform an extended Giant Swing after ''four'' German Suplexes. Due to [[https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/AquaPazza/System#Active_Emotion the Active Emotion system]] affecting damage values and the player's ability to [[SituationalDamageAttack increase the throw's damage by spinning the stick]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrOtjqW4TzI#t=43m59s this can lead to]] Tamaki [[OneHitKill OHKOing]] from as "low" as half of her opponent's '''first''' lifebar.

* In every version of the ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' arcade game, the Turtles have the ability to spin mooks around and [[CameraAbuse hurl them into the player's screen]].

* ''LightNovel/GroundControlToPsychoelectricGirl'': How does [[{{Manchild}} childish]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]] [[ParentsAsPeople single mother]] Meme deal with her equally eccentric [[{{Hikikomori}} shut-in of a daughter]] Eri when the latter refuses to come from out of her [[SecurityBlanket Security Futon]]? [[ComicalOverreacting By lifting her off the ground, whirling her around, and launching her straight into the closet door, of course!]] The anime shows that Meme's throw was so vigorous, poor Eri is actually stuck there for a moment until gravity kicks in.
* ''LightNovel/ItsukaTenmaNoKuroUsagi'': In one episode of the anime, Mirai Andou grabs Taito Kurogane's arm, spins around and throws him straight up into the night sky.

* ''LightNovel/MayoChiki'': A flashback in the anime shows a young Kureha being gifted a stuffed bear by her brother Jiro. She happily accepts... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW24TgFTD7E and immediately starts using wrestling moves on it in an incredibly adorable fashion.]] Included in her sequence are this trope ([[DownplayedTrope minus the release]]), a German suplex, and an elbow drop.

* Chapters 11 and 12 of ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' deal with [[ItMakesSenseInContext a science experiment gone awry that has turned three-fourths of Rentarou's current girlfriends into "kissing zombies" obsessed with smooching him]]. The "zombified" [[RoseHairedSweetie Hak]][[GagBoobs ari]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Kar]][[StrongerThanTheyLook ane]] combine this trope with a FastballSpecial when giving chase, Karane whipping Hakari around by the legs and then catapulting her through the air to pin down Rentarou.

* ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'': This is one of several ways Hori, the Drama Club's president, [[WouldHitAGirl deals with]] [[DitzyGenius the various quirks and antics]] of his BrilliantButLazy star actress [[{{Bifauxnen}} Kashima]], even serving as Chiyo's introduction to [[VitriolicBestBuds their usual dynamics]]. As with all the other abuse she's put through, Kashima doesn't seem to mind when she's on the receiving end of [[ComicalOverreacting Hori's rough treatment]]. In fact, one of the OVA shorts detailing [[BeachEpisode the club's trip to the beach]] has an EyeCatch featuring Hori furiously spinning around Kashima by the legs ([[SayMyName "KASHIMAAAAAAA!!!"]]), the latter sporting a goofy grin while happily shouting "ToBeContinued!"
