Reenacted Moves In Wrestling
Saturday, May 21st, 2011Wrestling moves are tricky, as if you are not looking closely, you might believe the throws 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 us see it for what it is, fake.
One of the oldest moves is the ‘banana splits’, although, today, the move is now known as the ‘leg splits’. This move entails 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 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 comes 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 neckline 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 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 attacker putting a hand on the opponent, gripping him and then lifting his arm close by his opposite side, over his shoulder. Then he lifts the opponent and slams 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 concussion for a while.
What makes wrestling so exciting is the phoney dialogue, the outfits, the characters and the moves. If you think of the movie Superman, and how he dresses, you will see 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, indicting the villains. 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 phoney. Wrestlers must respect the perimeters 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.
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 can break out. The KAYFABE is wrestling’s means of verbal communication.
