Arm Moves in Wrestling
There are quite a few 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 one in wrestling is the arm manoeuvre known as the arm-bar take down. The arm bar works by forcing the opponent's arm downwards.
The challenger feels the strain about the shoulder area and the assailant will grip the arms extending the arms length wise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This is a pin in most instances 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 and holds look painful in the ring, but the fact is that the moves are all show, i.e. a theatrical display to get attention. The actors rehearse their scenes long before they get into the ring and are shown how to send 'signals' to end the bout when they wish to.
The wrestling manoeuvres seem real on television, because the cameras and other distractions, including beautiful models, divert the attention of the viewers. Wrestling is really quite similar to how magicians work. Magicians rehearse their stage act before they go on the stage. There is always a gimmick or an explanation, yet the magician performs his act so professionally and the audience is so distracted, that the magician fools people into believing that he or she is performing the illusion 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 which is sometimes known as the spin wrist lock hold. This move is often followed by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks, and 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 days. 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.
From what I can see 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 roll of wrestling moves, however, so far, no information is available about what this move is all about. Moves are basically marques devised 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 roaring applause? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring introduces something new and it becomes his signature, popular final manoeuvre in his fights.
