The arm moves in wrestling include the arm breakers, arm drags, over the shoulder arm drags, arm swings, etc. The arm bar take down is another of the moves in wrestling. The arm bar attacks by forcing the arm of the opponent downward.
The challenger feels the pain about the shoulder area and the assailant then grips the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This results in a pin in most cases unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.
The arm breakers include slamming of the arms, typically on an area of the opponent’s body where it will hurt. Usually the pin ends with the scissors, where the wrestler’s legs are crossed over the challengers body, holding his/her shoulders down to the mat.
The various moves, manoeuvres and holds appear to be dangerous in the ring, but the truth is that these wrestling moves are all choreographed, that is, they are just a theatrical show to keep your attention. The actors rehearse their scenes long before they get into the ring and are trained to send ‘signs’ to finish the bout whenever should they want to.
The wrestling moves seem real on television, because the cameras and other distractions, including models, divert the attention of the viewers. Wrestling is really quite similar to magic acts. Magicians rehearse their stage act before they go on the stage. There is always a trick or an explanation, yet the magician performs his act so professionally and the audience is so distracted, that the magician makes people believe that he or she is doing the thing for real.
The arm drags include using brute force, getting the opponent in a hook move, the assailant flips the challenger to the mats. Most of the moves are devised by one or the other wrestler and so it may become a popular move. Some of the older moves include the Gallatin and the Banana Split
The ‘over the shoulder’ move should be called the body slam since the opponent will throw the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her onto the mat. At one time, this wrestling move was probably a slammer, but today it is the shoulder-arm throw move.
The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling that is often known as the ‘spin wrist lock hold’. This move is often followed by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks or gouges.
Other arm moves include the arm stretches, arm breakers, arm wringer, arm locks, arm bar and arm scissors. While the arm moves are famous in the ring, there are many new moves today that you would never have heard of when wrestling first began in ancient times. The Amityville Horror is one of wrestling’s more modern moves. Although, I haven’t figured out what this move entails, we are about to look at it together.
At present, from what I can see the Amityville Horror is just a way to persuade people to rent or buy the movie of the same name. I did see the move listed in the list of wrestling moves, however, as of yet, no information is available about what this move is about. Moves are basically brands made up by the wrestlers, so I’m assuming that the wrestler felt he had devised one of the most horrific moves in wrestling, so he gave it the name the Amityville Horror.
Why do some moves get roaring applause? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring brings in something new and it becomes his trademark, popular final move in bouts.
