Wrestling throws are not straight-forward, as if you are not looking closely, you could believe that the acts are real. At the moment, I am still a little reluctant to fill you in on the moves, since I am not a wrestling fan, however my son is, and he is going to give us the inside information on wrestling throws to help you see wrestling for what it is, fake.
One of the older moves is the banana splits. However, today, the move is known as the 'leg splits'. During this move, one starts wrestling with both hands on the legs of the other wrestler and splits the legs apart as far as the legs will stretch. This move will force the wrestler to put his/her own shoulders to the mat. If the wrestling move were for real and the wrestler fails to submit, his/her legs would split some muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.
The 'Cobra Clutch' is yet another of the holds that would in reality 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 fighter and using a single arm in the "Nelson Hold". The opponent then uses an arm to tug the wrestler's arm, trying to prevent him from drawing across the neckline 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 entails the adversary drawing his opponents arm over his shoulder. The wrestler then pulls 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 really executed, would strain bones or at least 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 concussion for a short time.
What makes wrestling so enthralling is the shouting, the costumes, the characters and the moves. If you think of the Superman movies, and how he dresses, you will see that without his outfit he wouldn't have any character appeal as Superman. Likewise, the wrestlers wear outfits that make them seem like they are super heroes of the ring, indicting the villains. Each wrestler has his/her persona in the ring. It is usually quite peaceful, but made to look violent!
However, wrestling does have rules, as well as restrictions, even though the moves are all phoney. Wrestlers must respect the ropes of the ring, as well as the colour codes.
The styles have their own set of rules, however freestyle and folk style are similar. Usually, the styles are enacted so well that you wouldn't know whether the wrestlers are using the freestyle, folk style, or Greco style.
As with a script or a dance routine, most of the moves are composed, which means that a director is off camera 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 is broken, when a real fight might break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling's verbal communication. - 30300
