it seems like nowadays every one who gets a flying bodypress jumps during the move? I was just looking through some older clips to confirm it, but when ever Ricky Steamboat hit his move his opponent was standing on the mat.

Not sure if it's a new thing, but I find it can give the move a better sound and impact. I explain away the kayfabe reasoning for jumping as an attempt by the receiving wrestler to soften the impact of the move.

It might make the bump easier when you can adjust to land flat. I think it also makes the impact look bigger.
