Arm Moves In Wrestling There are loads of arm moves in wrestling, the most famous 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 g rip 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 breaker manoeuvres include the slamming of the arms, typically on an are a of the opponent's body where it will hurt. Typically, the pin ends with the sc issors hold, where the wrestler's legs are crossed over the challenger's body, h olding his/her shoulders down to the mat. The various moves look painful in the ring, but the fact is that the moves are f akes, i.e. a showy display to grab attention. The actors rehearse the scenes lon g before they step into the ring and are trained to send 'signs' to end the bout when they want to. The wrestling holds and slams seem serious on television, simply because the cam eras and other distractions divert the attention of the viewers. Wrestling is si milar to how magicians work. Magicians rehearse their acts before they go on sta ge. There is always a trick or an explanation, yet the magician performs his act so slickly and the audience is so distracted, that the magician fools people into b elieving that he or she is performing the illusion for real. The 'arm drags' involve the assailant getting the opponent in a hook move and th en flipping the challenger down onto the mats. Most of the manoeuvres are devise d by one or the other of the wrestlers and sometimes it may become a popular mov e and so taken up by others. Two of the older moves are the Gallatin and the Ban ana Split The 'over the shoulder' move ought to be called the 'body slam' because the oppo nent throws the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her down onto the mat . Previously, this wrestling manoeuvre was probably in the group of 'slammers', but today it is called 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 manoeuvre is often followed up 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 be gan 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 shall analyse it together. From what I can see the Amityville Horror is just a ploy to persuade people to r ent or buy the film with the same name. The move is listed in the list of wrestl ing moves, however, so far, no information is available about what this move ent ails. 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 wrestli ng and so he called it the Amityville Horror. Why is it that some moves get roaring applause? Well, it can start when a wrestl er in the ring brings in a new manoeuvre and it becomes his trademark, popular f inal manoeuvre in his fights.
