instagram.comCan't see the other side, but if he grabs the pants, this would be filed under Sukui Nage by the Kodokan.
Te Guruma is only an inofficial nick name for a certain variant of Sukui Nage btw, which very roughly looks similar to what we see here, but you'll find a lot better videos of that on Youtube.

Yes te guruma is a version of sukui nage, but let's call it te guruma, because that variation is and has been called it for a very long time in judo years.
Mifune used to call it te guruma, rather than sukui nage.

Would identify this as fantasy and not working.
Otherwise it looks like ushiro-goshi
It might work with more leg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQplsEnXwmg, but yeah, the technique as is ushiro-goshi rather than front uchimata and probably wouldn't work.
I agree, ushiro goshi, his hips coming forward are what initiates the lift. I actually do things like this fairly frequently against front throws.
Explain how it wouldn't work.
As soon as tori steps in with his leg like that I would drop for Tani Otoshi. Lots of risks with the technique as they show it.
Its onto a crash mat with a compliant uke, its not being shown in a competitive context. All throws have risks - that's Judo, doesn't mean its not a legit technique - the entry starts almost the same as the Zantaraia front uchi-mata.
It was that style of Uchi Mata / Yagura Nage that inspired me to play with the movement.
What are the mechanics that make this throw work? Why is Uke falling on his back?
Lifting with the hips and directing them onto the back using the hands
You have much better control of ukes torso with this than you would with a classic ushiro-goshi
I think there's nothing holding the legs up.
Unless you turn the torso much more than is being shown here there's a very strong chance that that uke just puts his feet down after the pickup.
Exactly what u/efficientjudo said, it feels just like a te guruma / vertical revolution (sambo)/ high crotch (wrestling).
