Choreographed Moves in Wrestling

Wrestling throws are tricky, as if you are not paying close attention, you could believe that the acts are real. At the moment, I am still a little reluctant to fill you in on the throws, since I am not a wrestling fan, however my son is, and he is going to give us the inside information on wrestling moves to help you see wrestling for what it is, false.

One of the oldest moves is the ‘banana splits’, although, today, the move is now known as the ‘leg splits’. This move entails one wrestler putting both hands on the legs of the other wrestler and pushing the legs apart as far as they will stretch. This move will force the wrestler to put his/her own shoulders to the mat. If the wrestling move were genuine and the wrestler failed to submit, his/her legs would rip some muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.

The ‘Cobra Clutch’ is yet another of the holds that would actually cause real agony. The cobra move is universally recognizable as the cross chokes or arm locks. The challenging wrestler will come from the back of the other pugilist and using a one arm in the “Nelson Hold”. The opponent then uses an arm to tug the wrestler’s arm, trying to stop him from drawing across the throat and choking him as a result. The ‘back clutch’ or ‘bombard’ is similar, however the challenging wrestler is on his back under his opponent extending his arms upward from underneath.

The ‘Rock Bottom’ move involves the adversary drawing his opponents arm over his shoulder. The wrestler then places the opponents arm over his/her shoulder and lifts and dives forward onto the mat. During this attack, the challenger is hitting the mat head first, which if actually done, would break bones or cause some serious pain.

The ‘Choke Slam’ is the move when the attacking wrestler grips the opponent’s arm and lifts his arm close by his opponent’s side, over his shoulder. Then he lifts the opponent and slams him down onto the mat.

The ‘Big Boot’ is a running move. The wrestler lifts up his boot, connecting with the head of his opponent. So, a kick in the face with a boot in other words! This would knock a person on his/her rear any time, causing the kicked person to feel severe giddiness for a while.

What makes wrestling so exciting is the phoney dialogue, the outfits, the characters and the throws. If you think of the Superman movies, and how he dresses, you will notice that without his outfit he wouldn’t have any character appeal as Superman. Likewise, the wrestlers wear outfits that make them appear as though they are super heroes of the ring, punishing the villains. Each wrestler has his/her role in the ring. It is usually quite placid, but made to look violent!

Wrestling has rules, as well as restrictions, even though the moves are all fake. Wrestlers must respect the ropes of the ring, as well as the colour codes in the ring. There are also styles of wrestling, which include the folk style, freestyle and Greco Romanian styles.

There are also methods of wrestling, which include the folk style, freestyle and Greco Romanian styles. Each of the styles has its own set of rules, although the freestyle and folk style are fairly similar. Usually, the styles are demonstrated so well that you wouldn’t know which style the wrestlers are using.

As with a script, most of the moves are composed and rehearsed, which means that a director is out of sight using his/her hands to direct the wrestlers in the rings. For the most part, wrestling is nothing more than an act with a few exemptions like when the KAYFABE brakes down, when a real fight can break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling’s means of verbal communication.
