There are many arm moves in wrestling, the most well-known of which are the arm drags, arm swings, arm breakers and over the shoulder arm drags. Another wrestling arm manoeuvre is the arm bar take down. The arm bar works by forcing the opponent’s arm downwards.
The attacked person feels the strain around the shoulder area and the assailant then grips the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This is a pin in most cases unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.
The arm breaker manoeuvres include the slamming of the arms, typically on an area of the opponent’s body where it will cause some pain. Usually, the pin ends with the scissors hold, where the wrestler’s legs, crossed over the challenger’s body, are used to hold his/her shoulders down to the mat.
The various moves look painful in the ring, but the fact is that the moves are fakes, i.e. a showy display to grab attention. The actors rehearse the scenes long before they step into the ring and are trained to send ’signs’ to end the bout when they want to.
The wrestling moves seem real on television, because the cameras and other distractions, including models, divert the attention of the audience. Wrestling is really quite similar to magic acts. Magicians rehearse their stage act before they take to the stage. There is always a feint 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’ involve the assailant getting the opponent in a hook move and then flipping the challenger down to the mats. Most of the moves are thought up by one or the other of the wrestlers and sometimes it may become a popular move. Some of the older moves are the Gallatin and the Banana Split
The ‘over the shoulder’ move should be called the ‘body slam’ since the opponent throws the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her down onto the mat. At one time, this wrestling manoeuvre was probably a ’slammer’, but today it is called the shoulder-arm throw manoeuvre.
The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling that is sometimes known as the ’spin wrist lock hold’. This manoeuvre is often followed up by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks or gouges.
Some 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 moves you may see today that you would never have seen when wrestling first had its beginning in ancient times. The Amityville Horror is one of wrestling’s more modern moves. Although, I haven’t figured out what this move is all about, we shall look at it together.
From what I can make out the Amityville Horror is just a way to persuade people to rent or buy the film with the same name. The move is listed in the list of wrestling moves, but, so far, no information is available about what this move is all about. Moves are basically brands made up by the wrestlers themselves, so I’m assuming that the wrestler felt he had devised one of the most horrific moves in wrestling and so he called it the Amityville Horror.
Why is it that some moves get loud cheers? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring introduces a new manoeuvre and it becomes his signature, popular final manoeuvre in his fights.
