Wrestling throws are not straight-forward, as if you are not paying close attention, you could believe that the acts are real. At the moment, I am still a little reluctant to fill you in on the throws, 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, false.
For instance, one of the oldest moves is the 'banana splits', although, these days, 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 stretch. This move will force the wrestler to push his/her own shoulders to the mat. If the wrestling move were genuine and the wrestler failed 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 known everywhere as the cross chokes or arm locks. The challenging wrestler comes from the back of the other pugilist and using a one arm in the "Nelson Hold". The opponent then uses an arm to pull the wrestler's arm, trying to prevent him from drawing across the neckline 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' moves entail the adversary pulling 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' 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 kicks 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 backside any time, causing the kicked person to feel severe giddiness for a short time.
What makes wrestling so exciting is the phoney dialogue, the outfits, the characters and the throws. If you think of the Superman films, 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 appear as though they are super heroes of the ring, indicting the baddies. Each wrestler has his/her role 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 ropes of the ring, as well as the colour codes in the ring. There are also styles 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 or a dance routine, most of the moves are composed, 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 is broken, when a real fight might break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling's verbal communication.
