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 pain around the shoulder area and the assailant then grips the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually forced 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 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 and holds look dangerous 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 step into the ring and are trained 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 audience. Wrestling is really quite similar to magic acts. Magicians rehearse their stage act before they go on the stage. There is always a feint or an explanation, yet the magician does 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’ 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 ought to be called the ‘body slam’ because the opponent 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 sequence.
The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling which is often 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 very well-known in the ring, there are many moves you may see today that you would never have seen 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 make out the Amityville Horror is just a ploy to persuade people to rent or buy the movie with the same name. The move is listed in the roll of wrestling moves, but, so far, no information is available about what this move entails. 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.
