There are loads of 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 pain about the shoulder area and the assailant will grip the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This results in a pin in most instances unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.
The arm breaker manoeuvres include the slamming of the arms, typically on a part of the opponent's body where it will cause some pain. Typically, 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, manoeuvres and holds appear to be dangerous in the ring, but the reality 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 step into the ring and are trained to send 'signals' to end 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 does his act so smoothly 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' because 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 often called 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 very well-known 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 worked out what this move is all about, we are about to look at it together.
At present, from what I can see the Amityville Horror is just a ploy to persuade people to rent or buy the film 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 entails. 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 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 trademark, popular final manoeuvre in his fights. - 30300
