Choreographed Moves in Wrestling
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Wrestling throws are tricky, 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 moves to help you see wrestling for what it is, phoney.
For example, one of the oldest moves is the 'banana splits', although, nowadays, the move is now famous as the 'leg splits'. This move entails the one wrestler putting both hands on the legs of the other wrestler and pushing the legs apart as far as they will go. This move will force the wrestler to put his/her own shoulders to the mat. If the wrestling move were genuine and the wrestler failed to give in, his/her legs would rip some muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.
The 'Cobra Clutch' is yet another of the holds that would actually cause real agony. The cobra move is universally recognizable as the cross chokes or arm locks. The challenging wrestler comes from the back of the other fighter and using a one arm in the "Nelson Hold". The opponent then uses an arm to pull the wrestler's arm, trying to stop him from drawing across the throat and choking him as a result. The 'back clutch' or 'bombard' is similar, but the challenging wrestler is on his back under his opponent extending his arms upward from underneath.
The 'Rock Bottom' move involves the adversary drawing his opponents arm over his shoulder. The wrestler then places 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 break bones or cause some serious pain.
The 'Choke Slam' involves the attacking wrestler gripping the opponent's arm and lifting his arm close by his opponent's side, over his shoulder. Then he lifts the opponent and throws him to the mat.
The 'Big Boot' is a running attack. The wrestler lifts up his boot, connecting with the face of his opponent. So, a boot in the face, in other words! This would definitely put a person on his/her rear any time, causing the kicked person to feel severe giddiness for a short time.
What makes wrestling so exciting is the shouting, the costumes, the characters and the moves. If you think of the movie Superman, and how he dresses, you will see that without his outfit he wouldnt have any character appeal as Superman. Likewise, the wrestlers wear outfits that make them appear as though they are super heroes of the ring, punishing the villains. Each wrestler has his/her persona in the ring. It is usually quite placid, but made to look violent!
Wrestling has rules, as well as restrictions, even though the moves are all fake. Wrestlers must respect the perimeters of the ring, as well as the colour codes in the ring. There are also methods of wrestling, which include the folk style, freestyle and Greco Romanian styles.
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 if the wrestlers are using the freestyle, folk style, or Greco style.
As with a script, most of the moves are composed and rehearsed, which means that a director is out of sight 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 brakes down, when a real fight might break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling's means of verbal communication.
