Wrestling throws are tricky, since if you are not paying close attention, you could believe that the moves 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.
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 go. 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 will then use an arm to pull the wrestler's arm trying to prevent him from pulling across the throat and choking him as a result. The back clutch, or bombard is a similar move, but the challenging wrestler is on his back under his opponent extending his arms upward from behind.
The 'Rock Bottom' moves entail 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 actually executed, would break some bones, or else 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 attack. The wrestler kicks 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 giddiness for a while.
What makes wrestling so exciting is the phoney dialogue, the costumes, the characters and the throws. If you think of the Superman movies, and how he dresses, you will notice 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, punishing the baddies. Each wrestler has his/her role in the ring. It is usually quite peaceful, but made to look violent!
Wrestling has rules, as well as restrictions, even though the moves are all fake. Wrestlers must respect the ropes 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.
Each of the styles has its own set of rules, although the freestyle and folk style are somewhat similar. Usually, the styles are enacted so well that you wouldn't know which style the wrestlers are using.
As with a script, most of the moves are composed and rehearsed, 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 brakes down, when a real fight might break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling's means of verbal communication.
