Is this whats called a spear tackle??

Technically, no, that's not a spear tackle. I'm not sure what you would call that one.

I’m not sure of the name of that, but I’ve seen it before in some Indian literature about how to please your partner.

It’s how you plant turnips

That's actually a bit of a misleading photo of the incident as people could be fooled into thinking he just dropped him vertically head first, which would have been a spear tackle but isn't what happened. He ended up straddling him as the tackle finished and picked him up and flipped him. Definitely a dangerous throw and will probably get a ban, though might not be as long as some spear tackle incidents have earned as he certainly didn't slam him into the ground.

Now I am absolutely positive they must have read the same Indian literature I just mentioned...

Looks like he’s helping him do a hand stand. A spear tackle is more like throwing someone head first into the ground

It’s a still image, that. So, no, it’s not a spear tackle. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Can't really tell what that is from a slightly blurry still image.

I believe it's called a Piledriver in the wrestling world.

[Padge]

It's a head plant.

I believe that's a Tombstone Piledriver. The Undertaker will be having words.

Wrong way around for a Tombstone. Just a regular piledriver.
