There are loads of arm moves in wrestling, the most famous of which are the arm drags, arm swings, arm breakers and over-the-shoulder arm drags. Another one in wrestling is the arm manoeuvre known as the arm-bar take down. The arm bar works by forcing the opponent’s arm downwards.

The challenger feels the strain in the shoulder area and the assailant then grips the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This results in a pin in most instances unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.

The arm breakers include slamming of the arms, typically on an area of the opponent’s body where it will hurt. Usually the pin ends with the scissors, where the wrestler’s legs are crossed over the challengers body, holding his/her shoulders down to the mat.

The various moves, manoeuvres and holds look dangerous in the ring, but the truth is that these wrestling moves are all choreographed, that is, they are just a theatrical show to get your attention. The actors rehearse their scenes long before they step into the ring and are trained to send ’signs’ to end the bout whenever should they want to.

The wrestling manoeuvres seem real on television, because the cameras and other distractions, including beautiful models, divert the attention of the audience. Wrestling is really quite similar to magic acts. Magicians rehearse their stage act before they take to the stage. There is always a gimmick or an explanation, yet the magician does his act so professionally and the audience is so distracted, that the magician fools people into believing that he or she is performing the illusion for real.

The ‘arm drags’ involve the assailant getting the opponent in a hook move and then flipping the challenger down onto the mats. Most of the manoeuvres are thought up by one or the other of the wrestlers and sometimes it may become a popular move and so taken up by others. Two of the older moves are the Gallatin and the Banana Split

The ‘over the shoulder’ move should be called the ‘body slam’ since the opponent throws the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her down onto the mat. At one time, this wrestling manoeuvre was probably a ’slammer’, but today it is called the shoulder-arm throw manoeuvre.

The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling which is sometimes known as the spin wrist lock hold. This move is often followed by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks, and gouges.

Other arm moves include the arm stretches, arm breakers, arm wringer, arm locks, arm bar and arm scissors. While the arm moves are famous in the ring, there are many new moves today that you would never have heard of when wrestling first began in ancient times. The Amityville Horror is one of wrestling’s more modern moves. Although, I haven’t figured out what this move entails, we are about to look at it together.

Right now, from what I see the Amityville Horror is just a ploy to lead people into renting or buying the movie. As for the moves, I did see it listed in the list of wrestling moves; however, as for now no information is available to learn what this move entails. The moves are basically brands from the wrestlers, therefore what I’m assuming is that the wrestler felt he had acted out one of the most horrific moves in wrestling, so he named it the Amityville.

Why is it that some moves get loud cheers? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring brings in a new manoeuvre and it becomes his trademark, popular final manoeuvre in his fights.
