Stretch
The element borrowed from professional wrestling wrestling origin, stretching (or handrail grip) is a technique in which the wrestler holds the other in a position that puts pressure on the opponent's body. Stretching is usually used to weaken an opponent or force them to submit , either vocally or by knocking out : slapping the mat, floor, or opponent with three free hands. Many of these apply, when applied vigorously, stretching the opponent's muscles or twisting their joints uncomfortably, hence his name. Chokes, though not in a common stress position like other stretches, are usually grouped with stretching because they serve the same tactical purpose. In public performance, for the sake of security, stretching is usually not done to the point where the opponent must hand over or take the risk of injury. Likewise, chokes are usually not applied to the point where they cut off the oxygen supply to the opponent's brain.
Head, face, chin, and shoulder stretch
Camel couplings
The wrestler starts the hatch by standing on a prone opponent. He reached down to pull the wrestler a bit, sit on his back, and put his opposing arms on his thigh, usually locking at least one by placing his arms in the curve of his knee. After the wrestler has the opponent's arm where he wants it, he reaches forward, grasps his hand in a way so that his fingers interlock, then grabs the opponent's chin in his cupped and leaning hand, pulls the opponent's chin and applies the pressure. to his back. Camel couplings can also refer only to the rear chinlock while sitting behind the opponent, without placing the arms on the thighs. The move was created by Gory Guerrero in Mexico, where he was called the "i la la a caballo" (Horse-mounted choking), but got the more general name of Ed Farhat, who wrestled as "The Sheik" and used it as its finisher. Rusev did a variation that he called The Accolade , where he stepped on his opponent's back before applying hold. The standing variation of the camel camel is also used, with this variation popularized by Scott Steiner in the late 1990s when he used it as a finisher dubbed Steiner Recliner also Variations of camel camning rolls also used with this variation popularized by Maryse Ouellet nicknamed the pain of France.
Clutching the camels
Wrestling wrestlers stand on opposing faces facing downward, facing the same direction. The wrestler first hooks each opponent's leg under his own armpits as if doing a Boston crab upside down, the wrestler then reaches down and under the chin of the opponent with both hands applying the chinlock, finally leaning back to pull the head and neck of the opponent.
Another version of the movement is similar to a thrust wheel drive facebuster but illegally pulls the opponent's hair while leaning to pull the head and neck of the opponent.
Moving camel camel clutch
Wrestling wrestlers stand on opposing faces facing downward, facing the same direction. The wrestler then takes one of the opponent's arms in the armlock stepover, rotating 360 Â ° so that the opponent's arms are bent around the attacking wrestler's leg, the wrestler will then roll his arms between his own legs and the opponent's side. The wrestler then reaches forward and implements the chinlock as it does on a standard camel clutch, leaning backwards to apply pressure to the upper back and arms.
Chinlock
Also known as the rear chinlock, the attacking wrestler crouched behind the sitting opponent and placed their knees into the opponent's upper back, they then reached forward and clasped the opponent's chin with both hands. The assailant then pulls straight back to his chin or wrench to the side.
Front chinlock
A maneuver similar to the neck lock in which the wrestler faces a bent opponent. The wrestler attacks the top of the opponent/back of the head into his own chest while wrapping the arms around the neck so that the forearm is pressed down the throat. The wrestler then places his own reserve arm under the other hand and passes through the opponent's back to lock the hold, pressing against the opponent's neck. The attacking wrestler can then bend backwards, pulling the opponent's head down.
Reverse chinlock
This movement sees the attacker kneeling behind the opponent sitting and wrapping one arm under the opponent's chin and locking their hands. Like a sleeper, this movement can also be done from a standing position. Another variation of this hold, called bridging reverse chinlock, sees wrestling attackers who squat before the opponent lies prone and wraps one arm under the opponent's chin and locks their hands before applying the bridge.
Clawhold
Also known as an "iron claw", the claws involve the attacker holding the top of the opposing head with one hand and squeezing the tip of their finger into the opponent's skull, thus applying five different pressure points. This can be converted to STO clawhold. There is also a double-handed version sometimes known as a head vise, wrestlers who hold hold near their opponents from behind and hold their heads with both hands. While in the vise, wrestlers can control their opponents by squeezing the temple and bringing them to a sitting position where more pressure can be given. It was discovered and used by Baron von Raschke as well as many members of the Von Erich family, and Blackjack Mulligan. The double-handed version is the signature submission of The Great Khali dubbed Vice Grip .
Mandibular Claw
A maneuver that, when correctly applied to a person, is said to cause strong and legitimate pain. This handle is applied when the attacker places the middle finger and ring into the opponent's mouth, sliding it under the tongue and jabbing into the soft tissue found at the bottom of the mouth. The thumb (and sometimes the palm) of the same hand is placed under the jaw, and the pressure is applied downward by the middle finger and ring finger while the thumb/palm forces the jaw up, which is said to suppress the nerves in the jaw and thus making the opponent's jaw paralyzed; This, therefore, prevents the opponent from breaking the grip by biting the finger of the wrestler, as the Manifesto explained to Vince McMahon when asked about it during an interview before joining WWF in 1996. Although Foley popularized the move, it was created by Sam Sheppard, a former the inspirational physician for The Fugitive ; after his conviction was reversed, Sheppard took professional wrestling and was said to have taken a step from his knowledge of human anatomy.
Shoulder claw
Similar to clawhold, wrestling attackers apply the nerve locks to the opponent's shoulders using their hands and fingers to dig and press the top of the shoulders. Usually done with an attacking wrestler standing behind the opponent sitting, it can also be executed to the opponent behind them allowing pinfall. Other variations include squeezing the side of the neck or muscle in the front of the armpits, with four fingers dug into the armpit and thumb pressing forward over the shoulder.
Paws
Just like the original clawhold, the attacker applied a painful nerve grip to the opponent's stomach, forcing them to surrender or unconscious.
Crossface
This neck neck sees wrestlers wrap their hands around the opponent's face and pull back, which put pressure on the neck and shoulders. This step is done in several ways, usually involving a wrestler who traps one of the opponent's arms. Chris Benoit Crippler Crossface is a variation involving arm traps; in the adjacent picture, he has pulled back so that he finishes the seat, which he does not always do. Bobby Roode uses the same steps in TNA, but not in WWE since 2016. Daniel Bryan Yes Lock is done from the position of omoplata, which also puts pressure on the trapped arm. Bryan's placement requires him to sit down; Benoit, as noted above, varies from both positions. Another variation is done in a bridging position where the wrestler wraps both hands around the opponent's neck and pulls back, which puts pressure on the neck and bridge on the opponent's back to add strength. This variation is used as a delivery settlement by Sasha Banks as the Statement Bank , and by Taka Michinoku as Just Facelock .
Fraktur crossing while crying over head
The wrestler goes to the fallen opponent and places the nearest arm of the opponent on the shoulder of the nearest wrestler before applying the crossface, where the wrestler attacks his hand locked around the opponent's chin (or face down), then pulls back, stretching the opponent's neck and shoulders. The current NXT wrestler Johnny Gargano uses this hold as the final handover step that calls it Garga-No-Escape . Drew McIntyre uses this hold as a signature during his tenure in TNA calling it as Iron Maiden.
Double underhook crosstable
This is a crossface combined with a scissored armbar. The wrestlers attack trapping one of the opponent's opponent's arms at their feet, wrapping other opponents under the attacker's shoulder and then applying the crossface. Batista uses this as Batista Bite, Neville uses this as Rings of Saturn and Yuji Nagata uses this as Nagata Lock III.
Crossface straight jacket
Similar to the crossface of this movement sees the wrestler standing on the opposite opponent. The wrestlers then cross their opposing arms, keeping them in place with the feet before applying the crossface.
Home chancellor
Also known as "Neck Wrench", the wrestler faces his bending opponent. Wrestlers strike their opponent's head under his armpits and wrap his arms around the neck so that the forearm is pressed down the throat. The wrestler then grabs his own wrist with his free hand, crossing it under the armpit and the opponent's chest to lock the handle, pressing against the opponent's neck. The attacking wrestler can then bend backward, pulling the opponent's head forward and thus applying extra pressure on the neck.
Front fascel
The wrestler faces his bending opponent. The wrestler strikes his opponent's head under his armpits and wraps his arms around his head so that the forearm is pressed down to the face. From this point on the wrestler can take the opponent's wrist with his free hand and fold his own head under the armpit of the opponent and stand upright, lock the handle, or simply throw the opponent's arm into his shoulder and grab the opponent's thigh with his free hand. Similar in execution and functioning for front attacks, this key is often used as a setting for the suplex.
Facelock reversed
The wrestler stands behind his opponent and bends him back. The wrestler folds the opponent's head under his armpits, and wraps his arms around his head so that his forearm attaches to the back of the opponent's neck. The wrestler then pulls the opponent's head back and up, twisting the opponent's neck.
Dragon bites
This movement sees the wrestler attacking behind the standing opponent, pulling it backward into the reverse facelock and wrapping their legs around the opponent's body with body scissors. The attacker then curves backward, putting pressure on the opponent's neck and spine. This step is often used on opponents who are trapped inside the ropes, but this makes the move illegal under most of the match rules.
Plum stretch
The wrestler applies the reverse facelock to the sitting opponent and places the legs away between the opponent's legs and pushes the knee near his foot to the opponent's back. The wrestler then pulls the opponent's head back with their arms and legs away opponent with their feet.
Side headlock
In this case grasp the wrestler facing away from the opponent wrap their arms around the opponent's neck. This is also called "reverse reference". Although this is a frequently used rest area, it is sometimes also the beginning of a standard bulldog movement.
Facelock three quarters
Wrestlers stand before opponents while the two men are facing in the same direction, with some space between them. Then, the wrestler moves slightly to the left while still positioned in front of the opponent. The wrestler then uses his close hand to grab the back and take the opponent from behind the head, thus pulling the opponent's head over the wrestler's shoulder. Sometimes the free arm is placed at the top of the opponent's head. The move is also referred to as the "European headlock", due to its superiority in European wrestling. The two-handed version sees a wrestler using both hands, and is sometimes referred to as "Ã,¾ arrogant", "head hunter" and, most often, "cravate". This grip is a European style of wrestling and technical wrestling influenced by European wrestling. The reverse version of cravate is used by Chris Hero as part of his "Clman Hangman" shipment where the hand position is equal to the normal cravate but the facelock is connected around the opponent's face, not from behind the opponent's head. , so pulling the opponent's head back rather than forward provides significant pressure on the neck by stretching back and other directions toward the neck that usually does not bend.
Headscissors
Also referred to as neckscissors, this grip sees the wrestler approaching the supine opponent and sits next to them before turning to their side towards the opponent and wrapping their legs on either side of the opposing head, crossing the upper leg after it spins the opponent's chin. The wrestlers then tighten their grip to strangle the opponent by pressing their throats. Wwe Wrestler Naomi has a variation of the cross that calls it Feel the Glow
Standing headscissors
The wrestler folds the opponent's head between their legs or thighs. In professional wrestling, this step is used to prepare powerbombs or piledrivers.
Nelson resistant
Nelson who holds professional wrestling usually takes the form of nelson, half nelson, or three full quarter nelona. In all three variations, from behind his opponent, the wrestler inserts one or both arms under the opponent's armpits and locks his hand behind his neck, pushing the opponent's head in front of his chest. Nelson's half and three-quarters are usually a transition, as they are in amateur wrestling. Full Nelson, which is illegal in amateur wrestling, is often used as a handover manipulation by certain wrestlers, such as Chris Masters as shown in the attached picture. Ken Patera performs a variation that he calls "Swinging Neckbreaker" (do not confuse the neckbreaker variations), where he will lock the handle and lift the opponent off the ground, then swing it into the air. There is also an upside-down version where instead of doing the movement from behind the opponent, the wrestler stands before the opponent and uses the movement in the same way as the normal full nelson.
Sugar resistant
The variant of the nelson holds where the wrestler applies the power of holding the vulnerable opponent on the mat and pushing their knees into the upper back of the opponent. The most widely recognized wrestler as popularizing this hold is Stu Hart.
STF
STF is short for "Stepover Toehold Facelock". This detention is performed on the opponent lying face down on the mat. A wrestler grabs one of the opponent's legs, and puts an opponent's ankle between their thighs. The wrestler then lies on the opponent's back and locks his arm around the opponent's head. The wrestler then pulls back the stretch of the opponent's back, neck, and knee. The move was created by Lou Thesz and popularized by Masahiro Chono, and John Cena. Nikki Bella also uses this step
STF Cross-legged
Starting from the same position as the regular STF, the attacker takes both opponent legs, bends the knees, and crosses, placing one ankle at the other. The wrestler then grabbed his free ankle and placed an ankle between his thighs. He then lies on the opponent's back and locks his arm around the opponent's face. The wrestler then pulls back the stretch of the opponent's back, neck, and knee. The arm-trap variation of this step was discovered by WWE wrestler William Regal and is now known as the "Regal stretch".
Muta locks
Facelock Indian deathlock reversed, or "Muta key". The first wrestler takes the opponent's legs later, bends the knees, and crosses them, placing one ankle on the knee of the other leg before turning so that they are facing away from the opponent and placing one of their legs into a triangle made by the crossed legs of the opponent. The wrestlers then place the opponent's free ankle under their knees and bridge backwards to reach over their heads and lock their arms around the opponent's head. Created by The Great Muta, this move has been adapted and performed by various wrestlers such as Melina Perez ( California Dream ) and Emma (Emma Lock ) as finishing movements, mobile signatures, and settings for finishers.
STS
Short for "stepover toehold sleeper", this hold is a modified version of the STF in which the wrestler wraps his arms around the opponent's neck in a sleeping footrest rather than pulling back the opponent's head. Invented by Masahiro Chono.
Armlocks
Images-four armlock

Then, the wrestler passes his other free arm through the "hole" formed by the arm bent beneath the biceps, and then grasps the wrist opposed to the opponent. This will result in the opponent's arm being formed into 4 . When the opponent's wrist is struck by both opponent's hands, along with a bent arm, this will provide effective pressure to the opponent. Maneuvers can be executed on a standing opponent or subdued (face up). Triple H popularized this step.
Rope-hung figure-four armlock
The wrestler approaches the opponent lying limply on any set of ropes, grabbing one of the opponent's wrists with the same arm. The wrestler then clamps his arm with the wrist that rubs against the second or the top rope to the outside of the ring, and passes his other arm from under the opponent's biceps, and grasps the opponent's wrist. The entire maneuver will force the opponent's arm to bend in the form of a number "4", applying more pressure when the arm is stuck between the second or top rope. Rope-hanging numbers-four armlocks can also be dug through the bottom ropes, if the opponents lie against it.
Stepover armlock
Also known as spinning armlock. Attacking attacking wrestlers grab the wrists from the opponents' bottom faces, pulling them in their own direction, the attacker then strides on the arm that stretched out the opponent placing one foot on either side. From this point, the wrestler will turn 360 degrees, simultaneously bending the opponent's arm around the attacker's own feet. Wrestlers can spin excessively or spin again to put more pressure on the arm.
The armlock stepover is similar in execution by holding the spinning leg, except that the wrist is held instead of the foot.

The wrestler then holds the wrist and pulls it upwards, causing an extension of the hyper's shoulders and elbows. Former WWE wrestler Alberto Del Rio made this move as his finisher. Bryan Danielson popularized and created a variation, dubbed Danielson Special , where he would flip his opponent with a double underhook suplex before locking on the crossbar.
Crossbar flying cross
This variation begins with a wrestler standing on either side of the bent opponent. The wrestler then stepped over one of the opponent's arms while holding the wrist of the arm and then rolled or twisted in the air holding the wrist, forcing the opponent down onto his back and ending at the crossbar.
Crucifix armbar

With the opponent lying on his stomach, the wrestler is in the opponent's back, at an angle of 90 ° to him, putting part or all of his weight on his opponent to prevent it from moving. The opponent's arm is then linked and pulled back to his body, stretching the forearm, bicep and pectoral muscles. This variation can include holding the opponent's hands instead of attaching the upper arm, to improving and bridging, while making moves to increase leverage and paralyze the opponent. The sitting variation is also present when Becky Lynch uses it as his/her Dis-arm, where the wrestling attack takes the opponent's opponent's arm in knee position adding pressure by pulling back the arm.
Hammerlock

Depending on the preference of the wrestler, he can hold his hands to secure the grip when Triple H shows up on adjacent images. In many cases, the wrestler will go down to the mat and lock the opponent in the cork lock to make escape more difficult. Chickenwing crossface was mostly identified with Bob Backlund, who used hold as a finishing maneuver after his comeback to WWF in the mid-1990s and won a second world championship using hold. The backlund version of hold combines the bodyscissors section. The Asuka WWE wrestler also uses this variation as a handover resolver calling it Asuka Lock. Backlund's protà © Ã… © gÃÆ' ©, Darren Young adopted this as his finisher, while other wrestlers, such as Sean Waltman and Marty Scurll, used as their producers. Double double chicken

Maps Professional wrestling holds
Body key
Bear hug
A wrestler stands in front of an opponent and locks his hand around the opponent, squeezing it. Often he will wiggle his body from side to side, to produce more pain around the ribs and spine. Often used by powerhouse style wrestlers, it's rather easy to apply the grasp used by the heel and face alike. Inverted variation is also possible, which is usually used by Big John Studd.
waist keys
A wrestler stands behind an opponent and then wraps their arms around them in an overturned bear hug, occasionally gripping their hands together with the wrist to add pressure. This usually forms a German supplement or a front slam.
Body Scissors
A wrestler approaches an opponent sitting from the front, back, or both sides. The wrestling wrestler then sits next to the opponent and wraps his leg around the opponent, crossing his ankle and then tightening his grip by squeezing with his thighs or stretching his legs to strangle the wrestler by pressing his body. This handle is often used along with a handle that is applied to the head or arm to hold the opponent.
Back and body stretched
Stretching the stomach
Also known as a "cobra twist", this grip starts with a wrestler facing the opposite side. The first wrestler straddles one of the opponent's legs, then grabs the arm near the opponent with the arm that is close to the opponent's back and locks it. Crouch down and twist to the side, flex the opponent's back and stretch their stomach. This step can also be applied to the sitting opponent. An amateur wrestling analogy is a guillotine also known as a "twister".
Boston Crab

The wrestler hooks each opponent's leg on one of his arms, and then turns the opponent down, stepping on it in the process. The last position has a wrestler in a semi-seated position and faces away from his opponent, with the opponent's back and legs bent back toward his face. Chris Jericho uses this step in a high-angle version, calling it the "Jericho Wall". Lance Storm also performs this movement with both versions including regular boston crabs and one leg boston crab. He arranges it usually from a one-leg or roll-thru removal called "Calgary crab".
Bow and arrow hold
The wrestler kneels on the back of his opponent with both knees, hooking his head with one hand and foot with the other. He then rolled back so that his opponent hung on his knee above it, facing up. The wrestler pulls down with both arms while pushing with the knee to bend the opponent's back.
Gory Specific
Gory's specialty is back-to-back backbreaker backing. It was discovered by Gory Guerrero in Mexico. The wrestler, while behind the opponent, faces away from him in the opposite direction, hooks his arm beneath the opponent. From this position, the wrestler lifts the opponent, usually with a bow. This step can be used as a suspension or can be used to slash neckbreaker, or facebuster deletion.
Lotus Key
The wrestler grabs the opponent's arm and wraps their legs on the outside of them, so that the wrestler's legs meet behind the opponent's neck and exert downward pressure, similar to applying full nelson but by using the foot.
Octopus continues
Also known as "Octopus stretch", the wrestler stands behind the opponent and hooks the foot over the opponent's opponent's leg. The wrestler then forces the opponent to one side, trapping one of the opponents' arms with their own arm, and hung their free legs around the opponent's neck, forcing him down. It lifts the wrestler and puts all the wrestlers on the opponent's load. Wrestlers have one free arm, which can be used for balance.

Wrestlers place one foot down just above each other's knees and bend their legs upwards, hooking them on their knees; at this point the wrestlers grab both of their opponents' wrists (usually slap the opponent's back in an attempt to carry weapons within range), and fall backwards while pressing the opponent's shoulders and lifting him off the ground. It can see wrestlers fall into a sitting position or go behind them, lifting the opponent upwards, which will increase pressure on the opponent but put wrestlers at risk of pinning their own shoulders onto the mat. This is mostly done by Jyushin Thunder Liger and Daniel Bryan as signatures and by Rito Romero as the finisher.
Slider crossed
This surfboard version sees a wrestler standing or kneeling holding both wrists on their knees or sitting and crossing their arms, putting pressure on both opponent's arms and shoulders. Sometimes a wrestler may place his legs or knees on the opponent's upper back to provide greater pressure.
The surfboard sits

Leglocks
ankle Lock
In this big toe maneuver, the wrestler will grab the opponent's foot and lift their feet off the ground. With one hand a wrestler will grab the toes or the outside of the foot, then with the other wrap the ankle to create a "hole" for the joint. Variations of grapevine see the wrestler apply the ankle lock handle and then fall onto the mat and clip the opponent's leg. This stops the opponent from moving and makes it harder for them to crawl into the rope but reduce the pressure that can be applied. This step can be run from a kneeling position or a standing position, depending on the preference of the wrestler. Ken Shamrock was the first to popularize the use of this step in professional wrestling, performing it from a kneeling position. Years later, Kurt Angle adopted an ankle lock as his finisher, but often did so from a standing position.
Cloverleaf
Also known as the "Texas cloverleaf", a wrestler stands at the foot of his opponent, takes the opponent's foot and lifts it up. The wrestlers then bend one leg so that the shin is behind the knee of the leg straight and placing the ankles straight in their armpits. With the same arm, they reach around the ankle and through the opening formed by the foot, and lock their hands together. The wrestler then stepped over his opponent, reversing the opponent like a sniper and a Boston crab and began to squat and lean back. This grip presses the leg, flexs the spine, and stretches the stomach. This step was created by Dory Funk, Jr. and popularized by Dean Malenko. A variation of clover leaves by Eddie Guerrero sees the wrestler maneuver from a standing position, allowing him to drag the opponent's legs high enough to where he can add pressure to the hold by attaching one of his knees to the other wrestlers. back. Guerrero called the move "Lasso from El Paso", making reference to his hometown.
Cloverleaf with armlock
Variations of armlock from clover leaves are similar to Boston single leg crabs with armlock. This grip starts with the opponent lying supine on the mat. The wrestling attack then grabs one of the arms and proceeds to walk over the opponent while continuing to hold the arm, forcing them to turn to their stomach. The wrestler then kneels behind the opponent, locking the opponent's arm behind his knee in the process. The wrestlers then grab and bend one leg so that the shin is behind the knee of the leg straight and placing the ankle straight in their armpits. With the same arm, the wrestler reaches around the ankle and through the opening formed by the foot, and locks both hands together as in the clover. The wrestler then pulls back so as to stretch the legs, back and neck of the opponent while keeping the trapped arm.
Reverse clover
In this clover variation instead of turning when turning the opposite, the wrestler faces the same direction as the opponent to squat and lean forward to apply more pressure to the legs, spine, and abdomen. Also known as the Gorilla Clutch, scissors version of the body also exists.
Legal Cloverleaf Leglock Cloverleaf
The variation of this clover leaf sees the wrestler, having crossed one of the opponent's legs above the other in the form of a number four, the key above the legs behind the knees near them before placing the legs straight under their armpits and turning. The wrestler proceeds to pull back the pull of the foot under the armpits. This keeps the foot up, now down, locked while pressing the legs and stretching your legs and back. This variation is also used by Tyler Breeze as Figure Four Sharpshooter .
Rivera cloverleaf
Created by Chris Hero, this cloverleaf variation sees the wrestler hooks the foot like a clover but waves a hand to hold the other hand and also attaches ankle that is sticking with his legs (left or right) into his kneepit.
Cross kneelock
Also called the straight legbar or kneebar, this is done similar to the armbar by holding the opponent's legs between the legs and arms so that the opposing kneecap points toward the body. The wrestler pushes the hips forward, the opponent's leg straightened, and further utilizes knee hyperextends. Usually used as a counter against attacks from behind. The wrestler flips backward, placing his legs around one of the opponent's legs as he descends, and thus uses his momentum to knock the opponent forward into the mat. This step can also be applied by running towards the opponent and then doing the flip when next to it.
Head and leglock Damascus
The wrestler forces the opponent to the ground and opens the opponent's leg, stepping on both feet. The wrestler then wraps his legs around the opponent's head and crosses the opponent's legs, putting pressure on them with his hands. The next wrestler changes 180 degrees and leans against the spine. This handle puts pressure on the temples, calves, and compresses the spine.
Images-four leglock
A wrestler stands on an opponent lying on a mat facing up and catching the opponent's leg. The wrestler then moves the legs around and grasps the other legs, passing them into 4 (hence his name) as he does so and falls onto the mat, putting pressure on opposing legs crossed with his own legs. While holding holds pressure to the knee, it can be very painful for the victim's shins. While this step is primarily a handover step, if the opponent has his shoulders on the mat, the referee can make three counts for pinfall. If the referee is interrupted, the heel wrestler can hold the rope while executing the steps to gain influence and cause more pain. This variation is the most famous version, made famous by Ric Flair and created by Buddy Rogers, and is also the finisher of choice for some legends such as Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, The Miz, AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Tito Santana. Newer modified variations are used by Shawn Michaels where the wrestler takes one of the opposing legs, turns 90 degrees, then grabs another opponent's leg and crosses with the other, puts one foot in between and the other on the other, and then bridging. With sufficient strength and will, wrestlers in defense can reverse themselves (as well as their opponents) into their stomachs, which are said to reverse the pressure on the person who was initially in locked control. This calculation to the number four is often called "modified Indian deathlock" or sometimes referred to as a "sniper variant". Princess Ric Flair, Charlotte finds a variation of bridging movement called Figure Eight.
At the Steve Austin Show Unleashed Podcast, George Scott is credited by Ric Flair as a man who appears with the idea that to reverse the four-leglock numbers, the opponents will simply turn to their belly.
Haas of Pain
This reversed the reverse number-four leglock variations saw the wrestler cross one opponent's leg above it and stand on the crossed legs, then hold the free leg and lie on his back, lifting the opponent's foot into the air and causing pain in their legs and lower back. The name comes from Charlie and Russ, Haas Brothers, who discovered this move. This step is a charter from Charlie Haas.
Kneel in the four-leglock
Opponents are behind them with wrestlers standing on one of their legs. The wrestler applies a toehold spin, crossing the opponent's leg and kneeling on it.
Reverse number-four leglock
This version is a variant that sees the opponent facing the wrestler grabbing the opponent's legs, placing his own legs past him and twisting it as if doing a sniper, but placing his other legs at the opposite leg closest to him, down to the mat and apply pressure. WWE Hall of Fame Shawn Michaels popularized this move during his wrestling career.
Ringpost figure-four leglock
Sometimes called "four-digit flying", the opponent is cut down or standing next to one of the corner poles. The wrestler exits the ring outward and drags the opponent with the foot toward the ringpost, so the post is between the opposing legs (similar to when someone 'ditches' their opponent with a ringpost). The executor then stands next to the apron ring, outside the turnbuckle or rope and implements the four leglock figure with a ringpost between the opponent's legs. The handler then falls back while holding the opposing leg or leg, hanging upside down from the apron ring. Ringpost helps step, creates more damage and leverages it to the opponent's knee. This is illegal freezing because both involves the attacker doing the move while outside the ring and using part of the ring (ringpost) to make the move. The move was created by Bret Hart and is now used by Gail Kim.
Image standing-four leglock
The opponents are behind them with wrestlers standing on one of their legs with one leg placed on either side of the foot. The wrestler planted his legs on the knee of the opposite leg and then bent his legs on the knee over the first leg to form the number four. The wrestler then returns again.
Indian deathlock
Wrestlers lift their opponent's legs and wrap one of their legs around the other before dropping to kneeling position, thus locking the opponent's leg behind the wrestler's knee. The wrestler then grabs and grabs the opponent's leg and places it on the foot of the trapped opponent. The wrestler then rolls forward while maintaining. This forces the opponent into their chest while the wrestler ends up in a sitting position facing in the same direction as their opponent. From here wrestlers can reach forward and do a lot of upper body submissions as well.
A stand-up version can also be applied that sees a standing wrestler placing one of his legs between the opponent's legs face-to-face and then bending one leg behind the wrestler's legs, placing it above the other knee of the opponents. feet. The wrestler then takes the opponent's right leg, bends it backwards to lock the other leg in the knee hole and puts the foot in front of the shin from the foot that stands in the hole of the knee, thus locking the foot.
Inverted Indian deathlock
With an opponent on his back, a wrestler stands beside him, sitting with his legs above and between his opponent's legs (often using his legs to his knees). Then put the opponent away at the feet of the knee of the near leg, completing the surrender by placing the ankle of the opponent above his own ankle and rolling onto their belly and pushing back with the wrestler's knee.
Sharpshooter
Also (and originally) is known as the "scorpion handle". This step is usually done on the wrestler lying on his back. The wrestler who executes the movement will step between his opponent's legs, grab them both, and twist them into a knot around their feet. Holding the opponent's legs in place, the wrestlers then stepped over the opponent and turned them around, applying pressure along the way to cause pain in the knees and legs. While applying pressure on the foot, the wrestler who executes the movement has various positions that he can enter; However, the two most common involving wrestlers stand and lean while applying motion or sitting on the backs of their opponents. The move was created by Riki Choshu but was made famous in the United States by Bret "Hitman" Hart, who gave him the name Sharpshooter to fit his stage name. The move is also popularized in America by Sting, who calls holds the Scorpion Death Lock and applies the handle from a sitting position. The Rock also uses this move as the handover of his signature moves with the name Sharpshooter. The only difference between Sting's "Scorpion Death Lock" and "Sharpshooter" now is which pressure is there when Sting targets the right foot and "Sharpshooter" targets the left foot.
Turning toes
The wrestler who uses this step stands on the opponent lying on the mat, facing up and catching the opponent's leg. The wrestler then spins 360 degrees above the inverted legs. A wrestler can repeatedly bypass his legs and spin again to twist his knees, and more ankles.
Chokes
Anaconda vise
The anaconda vise is a choke compression. The wrestler wraps his arms around his head and an opponent's hand and squeezes it, strangling the opponent. It is considered legal in professional wrestling, even though it is chokehold. The delivery of this delivery was created by Hiroyoshi Tenzan.
Also known as triangle arm-trap choke. The visum is performed from the position where the wrestler and the opponent sit on mats facing each other. The wrestler sits on one side of the opponent and uses his nearby arm around the opponent in a headlock position and grabs the opponent's wrist, bends his arm upwards. Then, the wrestlers maneuver their other arms through "holes" made by the opponent's wrists flexed, locking their hands on their own wrists, and then pulling the opponent forward, causing pressure on the opponent's arm and neck. This move was popularized by CM Punk.
There is also a variation of anaconda vise combined with straight jacket choke and cobra coupling. This variation was also created by Tenzan himself.
Triangle arm chokes
Also called triangle arms, this choke sees wrestlers wrap their arms from beneath the opponent's nearby arm (pit) and across the chest. Maneuvers can be used as unusual submission maneuvers, such as those used by Braun Strowman, or transitional handles, usually fall backward into the STO reverse arm triangle.
Choking foot angle
Wrestlers push their opponents up or sit down to turnbuckle and spread their legs, strangle their opponents while using two top ropes for support. This attack is illegal and causes disqualification of the wrestler, if the step is not broken with a count of five.
For some flexible wrestlers, this motion variation can be performed while standing in a standing split performance. Another variant performed by Dana Brooke is done in a handstand position as he strangles an opponent with one leg.
Double choke
The wrestler grabbed his opponent's throat with both hands and strangled him.
Image-four necklock/headlock
The neck lock sees the wrestler sitting on the fallen opponent and wrapping their legs around the opponent in the form of a four-figure, with one leg crosses under the opponent's chin and under the thighs of the other wrestlers wrestling and strangling the opponent. In an illegal hold version, best described as a four-necked hanging figure, wrestlers stand on a turnbuckle, wrapping their legs around the opponent's head (back turned against turnbuckle) in drawing four and falling backwards, strangling the opponent. In most matches, the hold must be released before five counts. This move was popularized by former WWE Wrestler Candice Michelle. WWE wrestler Carmella uses an upside-down variant of this hold as a finisher where he uses a shin to strangle an opponent instead, making him resemble gogoplata.
Gogoplata
Usually executed from "rubber guards," where the legs are held very high, against the opponent's upper back. The warrior then slipped one foot in front of the opponent's head and under his chin, locked his hand behind the opponent's head, and strangled the opponent by pressing his shin or back against the opponent's trachea. Wrestlers use a modified version, where they simply push the shin to the throat in exactly the same way (instead of holding their toes and pulling in their own direction). The Undertaker uses this as his handover resolver calling it the "Gates of Hell".
Guillotine chokes
The wrestler faces his bending opponent. The wrestler strikes his opponent's head under his armpit and wraps his arms around the neck so that the forearm is pressed down the throat like in the front room. The wrestling wrestler then wraps his legs around the center of the opponent with body scissors and then curves backwards, pulls the opponent's head forward, stretching the torso and neck. This can be done either from a standing position, sitting or stomach.
Half nelson chokes
Also known as ha haed , a term borrowed from judo, this choke sees wrestlers placing opponents in half nelson with one hand and taking the other opponent's neck, sometimes while adding body scissors. The move was popularized by Tazz, who dubbed it "iTazmission" in the Extreme Wrestling and WMI WWE Championships.
Three quarters nelson chokes
Wrestlers stand behind opponents, facing the same direction, and reach under their armpits with one hand and around the opponent's neck with the other hand before locking the hand, completing the handle. The wrestler then pulls up, forcing their forearms into the opponent's throat and strangling him.
Koji Clutch
The opponent is lying facing the mat. The wrestler faces upward and slightly to the opposite side. The wrestlers then attach their distant legs to the opponent's neck. The wrestler then hooks his hands behind the opponent's head, with one hand passing their own legs and the other down. The wrestler then pulls back with his arm and pushes forward with his foot, causing pressure. The name comes from the name of the inventor, Koji Kanemoto. This step is generally diverted from an inverted STO. Another variation sees the attacker performing an inverted STO then locking the usual koji clutch but crossing their legs in a modified figure of four heads. Sami Zayn uses this step
Strangled Feet
With the opponent hanging over the second rope, facing the outside of the ring, wrestlers attack hooking their left or right legs behind the opponent's neck. The wrestling attack then pulls the second rope up, presses the opponent's throat between the ropes and strikes the wrestler's legs, choking him. This step is illegal because of the use of a rope strap, and results in disqualification for the wrestler if they do not release the suspension before the count of five.
Pentagram choke
In this triangle choke variation, the wrestler sits behind the sitting opponent. Wrestlers place one of their feet under the opponent's chin and push upwards. The wrestlers then hold their ankles with opposing arms and pull their legs up. The wrestlers then place their free feet on the back legs that have been used to strangle the opponent. Wrestlers end up taking their free arms, hooking the opponent's arm inside the vise, and holding their opponent's legs off the knee. Pressure is applied after the wrestler condenses the knee. The choke pentagram creates a complete vise on the opponent's neck, and its name comes from using five sides, while the choke triangle uses only three.
Single arm chokes
The wrestler grabbed his opponent's throat with one hand and squeezed it tightly. A "goozle" is a choking arm held briefly before chokeslam.
Sleeper hold
The wrestler applies his own hold position behind his opponent. The wrestlers then wrap their arms around the opponent's neck, pressing the biceps on one side of the neck and the inner bone of the forearm on the other side. The neck is pressed inside the arm very tightly. Additional pressure can be applied by grabbing the left shoulder with the right hand, or grabbing the left arm bone near the elbow, then using the left hand to push the opponent's head toward the right elbow curve. Popularized by Brutus Beefcake, Dolph Ziggler and best known as Roddy Piper.
Sleeper arm-hook
Also known as "sleeping buffalo", this choke sees a wrestler kneeling behind a sitting opponent before holding one of the opponent's arms, bending it backwards, and locking the opponent's wrist into the armpit's armpits. The wrestler then wraps his free arm under the opponent's chin, as in the sleeping handle, puts his other arm through the arch made by the arm trapped by the opponent, and locks his hand. He then squeezes the opponent's neck, causing pressure. The move was created by Hiroyoshi Tenzan.
Cobra Clutch
Also known as the "arm-trap half nelson sleeper", wrestlers stand behind the opponent and use one arm to place the opponent in half nelson. The wrestler then uses his free arm to pull the opposing arm (the same arm as the half-nelson wrestler) across the opposing face. The wrestler then locks his hand to his wrist behind the opponent's neck to make the opponent give up or lose consciousness when the carotid artery is cut off. This submission was used as a "finishing" maneuver by a number of wrestlers over the years, including Sgt. Slaughter and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, who called it Anvilizer, as well as Ted DiBiase Sr. and Jr., who called it the Million Dollar Dream.
Bridging the cobra clutch
With the opponent face down, the wrestler sits next to the opponent, facing the same direction, locking the cobra clutch, and then arching his legs and back, bending the body and neck of the opponent upward.
Dragon driller
Wrestling wrestlers stand standing behind opponents who either sit or lie flat on their stomachs, they pull the opponent into the reverse facelock, often hooking the arms near the opponent with their free sleeves. The attacker then pulls back and up, heartbreaking the opponent's neck and spine. If the opponent is sitting, the wrestler can press their knees into the opponent's back, adding pressure. Invented by Tatsumi Fujinami and popularized in the United States by ÃÆ'Å¡ltimo DragÃÆ'³n. The variation that stands out from this step is used by The Undertaker who calls it "Takin 'Care of Business" . Ki is very low using a version of a back-mounted position called "Dragon Clutch" .
