Crotch ripper forces the opponent to do a front splits/right splits. The banana splits forces the opponent to do a middle splits/straddle splits.
The guy had a chance to escape before his foot got taken by rolling like you said. But once he had his ankle grabbed, he was pretty much in a controlled position veeery similar to the truck. I think the guy in black was working for a back take, but the victor maintained super heavy hips and once he secured that foot it was only a matter of time before he got the tap. Very slick stuff.
On a side note, I wonder if this might make it into the system. Seems like it could fit right into the truck series.
