![]() ![]() The Gedo Clutch, named and innovated by Gedo, has an attacking wrestler sit kneeling on the back of an opponent who is lying face down and facing the same way. ![]() This move is also known as an arm trap somersault cradle. Gannosuke, has an attacking wrestler facing the opponent, grabbing their arm, twisting it into a modified hammerlock and then performing a front somersault while holding the trapped arm in place as well as legsweeping the opponent's near leg, rolling the opponent backwards while the attacking wrestler keeps the hammerlock applied while also holding the opponent's near leg down with their own leg. ![]() The Gannosuke Clutch, named and innovated by Mr. The attacking wrestler then grabs the opponent's legs, crosses them, and places them under one of their armpits, bending the opponent to a pinning predicament. The attacking wrestler then kneels down on one knee on the opponent's arms, pinning the opponent's shoulders down to the mat. The Delfin Clutch, named and innovated by Super Delfin, has an attacking wrestler crossing the arms of the opponent across their own chest while they're lying on their back on the mat. These moves are not to be confused with the Crucifix hold or its powerbomb counterpart. The attacking wrestler then lowers their bodyweight so that the opponent is brought drown to the mat backwards and is forced on to his own shoulders in a pinning position with his legs in the air.Ī variation on the standard crucifix, the Crucifix bomb, or Crucifix driver sees an attacking wrestler violently force their bodyweight downwards to throw the opponent into the mat with greater impact. This positions the attacking wrestler horizontally across the back of the opponent and forces the opponent's arms out like a crucifixion. This was derived from the inside cradle and outside cradle in amateur wrestling.Īn attacking wrestler hooks the arms of an opponent, by grapevining their legs around one arm and their arms around the other. Holding the leg gives the attacker greater leverage and makes it harder for the opponent to kick out. The attacking wrestler lies across the opponents chest and hooks a leg with the arm on the opposite side (left leg with right arm or right leg with left arm). The term floatover (when in reference to a pin) refers to an attacking wrestler using the momentum of a throw or slam they are performing to propel themselves over the opponent into the lateral press position. Sometimes, when both wrestlers are ( kayfabe) exhausted or badly hurt the attacking wrestler will cover with just an arm or lie down face up rather than face down. With an opponent lying face-up on the mat, the attacking wrestler lies face-down across the opponent's chest to hold them down. If the attacking wrestler doesn't properly raise his own shoulders, then they may pin themselves as well.Īlso known as a lateral press, cross press or simply as the basic pin. The opponent's lower body is raised leaving his shoulders touching the mat. The attacking wrestler maintains the waistlock hold and bridges his back so that only his feet and head are touching the mat. The bridging pin typically takes place after a German suplex. The attacker holds the opponents arms down with their own arms for the pin. They then lean forward and drop to their knees, sliding the opponent down their back so that their shoulders are against the mat and their chin is against their chest. The attacking wrestler stands back-to-back with their opponent and hooks both of the opponent's arms. Another popular illegal tactic of heel wrestlers is to attempt a pin close to the ring ropes so they can prop their legs up on the ropes to gain additional leverage, putting more weight on the opponent. Sometimes, an attacking wrestler may (illegally) hook the opponent's tights for extra leverage. In some positions, a wrestler may bridge (arching their back so that only their feet and the top of their head are touching the ground) to put more of their weight on the pinned opponent or to prop themselves up from being pinned. The count is broken (a near-fall) if the opponent manages to raise one or both of his shoulders off of the mat, commonly by kicking out (throwing their legs up to cause their shoulders to rise from the mat). The purpose of a pinning maneuver is to hold the opponent's shoulders against the mat for a count of three. In wrestling, a pinfall is a common method of winning a match and typically must be held for a count of three by the referee (though the staged and entertainment-based nature of the sport makes this a somewhat ephemeral requirement). ![]()
