Professional wrestling wrestling is the application of professional wrestling techniques that involve raising an opponent and throwing or slamming it down. They are sometimes also called "strength" maneuvers, because they are meant to emphasize the power of wrestlers. Many of these movements are used as a complement by many wrestlers. Many maneuvers are known by several different names. Professional wrestlers often provide "finisher" (their signature which usually results in victory) a new name that reflects their gimmick. Moving is listed under the general category when possible.

Armbreaker
Armstrong is any movement in which the wrestler slams the opponent's arm against the body of the wrestler, usually the knee or shoulder.
Armbar legs
Wrestlers stand beside their opponents to both sides, crossing their arms against opponents in front (as wrestlers stand next to opponents, and using eg their right arm, they will cross to the opponent's left arm, and vice versa). From this point, the wrestlers place their feet in front of the opponent's opponent's leg, and fall backwards, causing the opponent's arm to crash into the mat.
Stomach removal
Also called the DDT single arm, this armstric variation involves wrestling the attacker holding the left or right arm of the opponent, holding it on their chest and then falling backwards, dropping the opponent's face first and damaging the opponent's arm and shoulder.
Surfing protectors
A wrestler dives off the rope and lands on the opponent's arm.
Double knee protectors
Wrestlers grab one of the opponent's arms, jump and connect their knees against the arm that the opponent is drawing. When the wrestlers fall into their backs, they force the opponent's arms to fall down on both knees, thus damaging them.

Pull the arm
A step in which wrestlers use their opponent's momentum to harm the opponent. The wrestler hooks the opponent's arm and slams it onto the mat. Wrestlers can roll over to their side to provide extra momentum movement.
Pull Japanese arm
This step is done when the opponent runs towards the wrestler facing them. When the opponent is in range, the wrestler hooks the arm near the opponent with both hands and falls backwards forcing the wrestler's momentum itself to cause them to flip forward over the heads of the wrestlers and onto their backs. Regardless of its name, it actually comes from the Mexican lucha libre, not the Japanese puroresu.
Pull over-the-shoulder arm
The wrestler grabs his opponent's arm, then turns to face the other way and pulls the opponent over his shoulder. This is basically the same as the ippon seoi nage found in judo.
Drag the tilt-a-whirl arm
Pull the arm that sees the wrestler rotate in front of the opponent's body in a-a-whirl round, and then end it with the pull of the arm.
Pull the cart's arm
Pull this arm to see the wrestler held in the wheelbarrow by the opponent, and then go to pass the drag of the shoulder as they release their legs from the opponent's waist.

Decrease invert atoms
Periodically called Manhattan Drop , this is a movement in which the wrestlers lay their heads under the opponent's shoulders and lift the opponent and then drop the "lower abdominal area" or the first groin on the wrestler's knee. Although this step is an indirect low blow, it is considered a legal step because the groin is not being targeted.
The full nelson atom dropout sitout
Better known as the full nelson bomb, this movement sees wrestling applying full nelson control to the opponent from behind. The wrestler then lifts the opponent into the air and falls into a sitting position, pushing the opponent's first-tail bone into the mat.

Backbreaker refers to a professional wrestling movement where a wrestler drops an opponent so that the opponent's back is impacted or bent backward against the body of the wrestler, usually the knee.
Backward body
A back-body drop or backdrop (also sometimes called a shoulder back-toss), is a movement in which the wrestler bends forward or bends in front of their opponent, grabs the opponent's grip, and stands up, lifts the opponent up and up and drops them behind. This is often applied to filling opponents. In Japan, the background is the term for so-called superhekti stomach in America, so in Japan, it's called a shoulder throw.
Mountain Bomb
Innovated by Hiroyoshi Tenzan. This movement sees the opponent running towards the wrestler. The duck wrestler, hooking one of the opponent's legs with one of their arms, stands and falls back, flips the opponent and pushes them back to the mat, with the wrestler landed on the opponent.
Biel throw
Wrestlers stood slightly to the side of their opponents, grabbed it by the nape in a single or double collar bow, and threw it forward, causing the opponent to flip over his back. This is considered to be a very basic, very basic technique that falling forward is usually called a biel lump and is mainly used by very large wrestlers to emphasize strength and strength over skills.
Brainbuster
Brainbuster is a movement in which the wrestlers place their opponents on the front facelock, hook their stockings, and lift it as if they were doing a vertical suplex. The wrestlers then jump and fall onto their backs so the opponents land on their heads while remaining vertical.
Bulldog
Bulldog, originally known as bulldogging or headlock bulldogging or headlock jawbreaker is any movement where the wrestler grabs the opponent's head and jumps forward, so the wrestler lands, often in a sitting position, and pushes the opponent's face into the mat. This step plus some other variations is sometimes referred to as a facebuster.
Cobra clutch bulldog
The wrestler applies the cobra clutch and then jumps forward, falls into a sitting position and pushes the opponent's face to the ground.
Fireman with bulldog
Wrestling wrestlers take opponents in carrying firefighters. The wrestler then proceeds by holding his opponent's leg with one hand and applying the headlock with his other arm, in a manner similar to the over-the-shoulder back-to-belly piledriver. From here, the wrestler strikes the opposite and quickly switches back tossing the opponent's legs out back and down onto the mat while holding the opponent's head, forcing him to fall face first into the bulldog position. This step is used by TNA wrestler, James Storm, dubbed as "Eight Second Ride".

Inverted Bulldog
The wrestler strikes to stand side-to-side and slightly behind the opponent, facing the opposite direction, from there he jumps in the air and descends to a sitting position driving the opponent's throat and returns first to the mat. In other variations, the attacker runs into the opponent and moves. This is usually called takat takedown.
One-handed bulldog
The one hand bulldog is actually more of a facebuster than the actual bulldog and generally sees wrestlers running from behind their opponents, grab the opponent's head with one hand and leap forward.
Flipping bulldog
Standing on the side or diagonally behind the opponent, the wrestler attacks the jump, grabs the opponent's head and pulls back, so the two people land the landing. WWE wrestler Dolph Ziggler uses this step, which he calls Zig Zag.
Slingshot bulldog
Similar to a hangman, where a wrestler catches an opponent in the head of a side head, runs toward the set of ropes. The wrestlers then jump over them and bulldoze the opponent, pushing the opponent's chin/face into the top rope. The wrestler will eventually land or sit in the apron or outside the ring.
The same maneuver can be used for the opponent cornered (who is facing away from the ring/outward) to direct his face to the upper turnbuckle.
Bulldog spinning
The wrestler stands on the opposite side and implements the side headlock. The wrestler then spins in circles and falls into a sitting position, pushing your opponent forward to the mat.
Springboard Bulldog
The wrestler applies the headlock to the opponent then runs towards the rope and bounces, pushing the opponent facing forward onto the mat as they land. Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus popularized this move and became known as Strathfusion and by Bo Dallas as Bo-Dog.
Two-handed Bulldog
The wrestler places both hands behind the opponent's head, and then falls into a sitting position, slamming the opponent's face into the canvas. Another variation sees the wrestler placing one hand behind the opponent's head, and another behind his back and then falling back into the bulldog. WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley uses this move as his signature moves.
Bulldog carts
This bulldog sees the opponent clutching the wrestler in the wheelbarrow wheelbarrow. The wrestler then falls down while still rubbing his legs at the opponent's waist and pushing himself by hitting his palms onto the canvas. When he is hit back to the opponent, he releases his legs and quickly places his hand behind the opponent's head, and goes for the bulldog - the bulldog is usually one hand rather than the bulldog headlock.
Catapult
Catapult or slingshot slingshot is usually the start with the opponent on his back, and the wrestler stands and faces him. The wrestler hooks each opponent's legs on one of his arms and then falls backwards to capture the opponent to turnbuckle, ladder, rope, mat, etc. This can also be held for backbreakers.
Chokeslam
Chokeslam is every body slam in which a wrestler grasps the neck of his opponent, lifts it up, and slams it onto the mat, causing him to land on his back. If a wrestler needs more influence, he can lift it up with his opponent's waist as well. This move has been popularized by The Undertaker, Kane and Big Show from WWE.
Cobra clutch slam
In this slam wrestler places the opponent in a cobra clutch and then lifts the opponent into the air with his neck before jumping backwards, falling face down or into a sitting position, pushing the opponent back to the mat. This move was popularized by Ted DiBiase Jr., who named it Dream Street. Jinder Mahal uses this step by calling it Khallas .
DDT

He then scoops the opponent's leg with the other arm and lifts the opponent, flips the opponent upside down, and then kneels or sits, pushing the opponent down onto the mattress around his neck. Another variation is an attacking wrestler applying pumphandle before executing this technique and used by wrestlers such as Jinder Mahal.
Driver electric seat
Also known as the Joker Driver, In this driver variation, the wrestler lifts the opponent on his shoulder in an electric chair position and then holds the opponent and pulls him over the shoulder and down the mattress as he falls into the sitting position out so that the opponent lands on his back and neck between his legs wrestlers, facing him, usually produce pins. The one-handed variation is used by Kenny Omega, known as One-Winged Angel , or Katayoku no Tenshi, and Killian Dain in NXT as Ulster Plantation .
Fisherman's Driver
The wrestler places the opponent on the front facelock and hooks one of the opponent's legs with his free arm. The wrestler then lifts the opponent up or on his shoulders, and then sits down, pushing the opponent between his legs, head and shoulders first. Variations of the wrist-clutch of this driver have seen the wrestler lifting the opponent to his shoulder, and while the opponent is on his shoulders, he uses a hand that hooks the opponent's foot to reach up and grasps the arm wrist opposite the bent leg. While guarding the wrists, they then do the drivers. There are further variations that do not include the shoulder shrug that sees the wrestler hooks the legs and wrists while the opponent stands in front of him, lifts the opponent up and then falls to a sitting position. This move was made popular by the wrestler Low Ki who called it Ki Krusher. The cross version is used by CIMA, who calls it the Perfect Driver
Half nelson driver
Wrestlers stand behind opponents and apply a half nelson handle on their opponents, placing one of their hands into the opponent's neck after hooking an opponent's arm with him.

Michinoku Driver II
Innovated by Taka Michinoku, and technically known as a sate piledriver slam pill. Facing their opponent, the wrestler reaches between the legs of his opponent with their right arm and reaches around the opponent's neck from the same side as their left arm. They then lifted the opponent and twisted it so they turned upside down, as in a slam before falling into a sitting position, pushing the opponent down to the neck of the mat and shoulders first. Many people refer to it as Michinoku Driver because it is used more often than the original Michinoku Driver.
Michinoku Driver II-B
Variations of Michinoku Driver II in which the wrestler stands behind the opponent, apply reverse facelock, lifting it upside down, and then down to a sitting position, pushing the opponent down into the mattress between the upper thighs of the first spine. The move is also used by Vampiro under the name Nail in the Coffin .
Samoa Driver
Wrestlers attack an opponent hanging over their shoulders in a fireman's position and then holding the opponent and pulling them over their shoulders and down onto the matras while falling into a sitting position so that the opponent lands on the upper back and neck between the legs of the wrestler, facing towards they.

Decrease of electric chair
The wrestler lifts the opponent on his shoulder with a seat in the electric chair and then falls backwards pushing the opponent back into the rug first. There are also drivers, facebuster, and flexible motion variations.
Facebreaker
Facebreaker is any movement in which a wrestler slams his opponent's face against a wrestler's body parts, usually knees.
Double knee barrier
This facebreaker involves an attacking wrestler, who stands face to face with the opponent, hooks both hands around the opponent's head and then jumps to bring both knees to the opponent's face. The wrestler then falls back into the mat, thus forcing the opponent to fall forward and impacting the open knee. This move was popularized by Chris Jericho, who named it Codebreaker .
Facebreaker DDT
The wrestler applies the front facelock and then falls backwards, like a normal DDT, but instead of the opponent's head affecting the mat, the wrestler falls into a kneeling or sitting position that pushes the opponent's face to his knee.
Knee-facebreaker
This step is a standard troubleshooter that involves wrestling with the opponent and holding it by the head or hair and pulling the opponent's face down, dropping it to the wrestler's knee. Often used by wrestlers to create an opponent stun and set it to move again. Many other complainants use knees to inflict damage; one variation sees a wrestler applying a side-standing headlock, and simultaneously pulls the opponent forward and destroys the wrestler's knee to the opponent's head.
Facebreaker stomp upside down
Also known as Foot Stunner . The user applies the wrist lock standing on their opponent, then placing their feet on the opponent's face and falling backward, forcing the opponent's face to their feet. This step was used as a solving step by Gail Kim from TNA (called Eat Defeat ), Chuck Taylor (called Sole Food ), Xavier Woods (called Lost in the Woods ) and Enzo Amore of WWE recently started using this step as a finisher (called JawdonZo ). Colt Cabana also uses it (called Eat The Feet ) as its signature moves.
Shoulder facebreaker
Also described as an executioner or a shoulder-shooter, this troubleshooter is performed when an attacking wrestler, standing in the back position with the opponent, grabs back to drag the opponent's head past his previous shoulder (while holding the opposing head) rotates around to rotate the opponent's head when they drop to one knee forcing the opponent facing first to the wrestler exposed to the knee in one fluid quick movement. DDT is also used by TNA EC3 wrestlers
Single knee separator
Similar to a double knee facebreaker, but with just one knee. Tye Dillinger uses this step by calling it Perfect 10 .
Facebuster
Facebuster, also known as faceplant, is any movement in which a wrestler forces his opponent's face down onto a mattress that does not involve headlock or facelock.
Slam Fall
Also known as table top suplex. The wrestler lifts the opponent upwards so that the horizontal opponent above the wrestler's body then falls backwards, throwing the opponent over their heads to the mattress back first. This slam can be bridged into a pin, or a wrestler can drift to another slam fallaway. This step is sometimes used as an advanced step of capturing the opponent's opponent's high body, to emphasize the strength of the wrestler.
Launch of rain drops
This movement shows wrestlers taking opponents like slams to fall but instead of just throwing them backward wrestlers temporarily, hanging onto the opponent, doing a backflip slamming the opponent back first onto the mat when landing on top of their first chest. Attackers can also choose to retain their grip on the opponent after the landing in an effort to print pinfall. The move was innovated by Scott Steiner and is currently used by Trevor Lee primarily as a counter for opponents charging crossbody runs.
Fire jumps
A firefighter involves a wrestler holding his opponent over his shoulders. From this position, various throws can be done.
Airplane rotation
A wrestler raises an opponent to their shoulders and spins it around until they dizzy and fall to the ground. This move has been well known mainly by WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon
Driver Death Valley
Also known as Death Valley Bomb in Japan, this movement is carried out from carry firefighters. Wrestlers throw opponents off their shoulders and fall in the direction facing the opponent's head, pushing the opponent's head or returning to the mat. Similar to a fire-fighting slam, with more emphasis on targeting the neck. The Death Valley driver was innovated by Etsuko Mita.
Death Valley Driver Reversed
Also known as Victoria Driver or Burning Hammer , this step is run from the position of the Argentine backbreaker rack. The wrestler then falls aside, pushing the opponent's head into the mat. This is considered a very dangerous move, because the opponent's body can not roll over with the natural momentum of the movement to absorb its impact. In this cut-throat driver variation, instead of holding the opponent's body, the wrestler holds the opponent's opponent's arm in the opponent's throat and defends it by holding the opponent's wrist before doing the inverted Death Valley driver. Death Valley Reversed Driver was renovated by Kyoko Inoue as a Victorian Driver, and was popularized by Kenta Kobashi as the Burning Hammer. Michael Elgin uses a sit-down variation of a burning hammer so as not to hurt his opponent's head or neck that allows them to roll left or right. This move made a surprise appearance on the WWE Cruiserweight Classic when Brian Kendrick did the Burning Hammer in Ibushi Town.
Death Valley Side Driver
Variations between the usual Death Valley driver and the reverse. The opponent is located on the shoulder of the wrestler at his side, facing the opposite direction or the same as a wrestler, with wrestlers holding the opponent with the lower leg, and the head or forearm. The wrestler then falls aside, pushing the opponent to the shoulders of the mattress and the neck first. Cesaro used this movement several times and now uses it as his signature called " Swissblade ".
Drop carry firefighter
The first attacking wrestler raises his opponent over his shoulder in a position to bring the fire department. The wrestling attack then pushes the opponent forward and out of his body slams him face down into the mat. Wrestlers can land on the kneeling position, or squat the ground. This step was used by Mojo Rawley when he hit the main list, calling it "The Hyper Drive".
Fireman's carry slam
The first wrestler opponent curtains above their shoulders in a position to bring the firefighter. The wrestler then holds the opponent's thigh and arm, which is hung on the front side of the wrestler, and bends forward, pulls the opponent over their head and shoulders, slamming them back in front of the wrestler. A sling carrying a firefighter is a variation that sees a wrestler retaining his opponent and runs forward before slamming an opponent to the ground, using momentum to topple an opponent. A haul carry swingh firhswake is another variation that involves wrestlers holding the opponent's wrist while laying their head under the opponent's chest. Then after grabbing the opponent's nearest leg, the wrestler lifts the opponent's legs out before swinging forward using the opponent's momentum and slamming it back first. The neckbreaker variation also exists where the wrestler lifts the opponent on his shoulders by bringing in firefighters then lifting their opponent up and grabbing his head before slamming it into a slash neckbreaker. Bobby Roode uses a neckbreaker version as the finisher he calls the Roode Bomb .
Takeover takeover Fireman
There are two versions of take-out firefighters used in professional wrestling. The first was borrowed from amateur wrestling and saw the wrestler kneel on one knee and simultaneously grab the other's thigh with one hand and one opponent's arm with the other. He then pulls the opponent on his shoulder and then rises slightly, using the movement to push the opponent off his shoulder, flipping him to the base on his back. The others are similar to Death Valley drivers. The wrestler stuns the firefighter from a standing position, then throws the opponent off his shoulder as he drops to his knee causing the opponent to land on his back. The standing variant is a higher-impact version of the movement because the wrestler falls from a greater height, and is a movement closely related to John Cena through its use as a maneuver of its completion, which he calls Attitude Adjustment. Other variations look at the movements made from the top or 2nd rope, used occasionally by Cena as the Super Attitude Adjustment .
Olympic Slam
The wrestler holds his opponent's wrist while putting his head under the opponent's chest, grabs the inside of one of the opponent's legs and lifts it to his shoulder as he falls backward. The move was popularized by and named in reference to Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, who also nicknamed him Angle Slam as an alternative name.
Decrease Samoa
The wrestler hangs an opponent over their shoulders in a fireman's position then falls back, pushing the opponent down onto the mat on their back. Single-handed hooks, swing legs, and twisted versions are also possible. This step is most often done by Samoa's wrestlers, especially The Rock, Rikishi, Big Daddy V/Viscera, Roman Reigns (using a one-handed variant), Samoa Joe, and pop-up versions used by Nia Jax and The Usos. The top rope variant is also regularly performed by Scott Steiner.
Drop facebuster Samoan
Similar to the decline of Samoa except that the opponent does not spin when the wrestlers attack falling backwards, which means the opponent lands before them rather than their backs. This step is done by Kona Reeves as the Hawaiian Drop.
Flapjack
A flapjack, also known as a slam pancake, is any movement that throws an opponent so that he is pushed up and therefore he falls in front. In the basic flapjack, the wrestler pushes his opponent upward by reaching under his feet and lifting him up into the air. Holding the handle on the opponent's leg, the wrestler will fall backward, dropping the opponent in front to the canvas. This is usually used by wrestlers when the opponent is attacking him. This step is similar to the fall of the back body, but the wrestler pushes up so the opponent falls into his face instead of falling back first.
Alley Oop
Also known as an inverted powerbomb or falling powerbomb. Wrestlers lift their opponents so that they sit on the shoulders, facing away from him, as in the powerbomb. The wrestlers then fall backward while throwing the opponent in the same way, dropping them onto the mat on their chest. Another version sees wrestlers choosing opponents ascending to their shoulders in the powerbomb position and dropping backwards while throwing opponents so the opponent flips forward and lands on the neck and upper back. The bridging variant is also available.
Package powerbomb crashed
Variations of Alley This oop sees wrestlers lifting their opponents so that they sit on the shoulders of attacking wrestlers like in a powerbomb. The wrestlers then grab the opponent's head and force them into the "pack" position. From there the wrestlers fall backward, throwing opponents over their heads, forcing them to land on their upper backs and neck. Variations of bridging are also possible. This step is used by Dragon Lee, Ibushi City and Kevin Steen.
Double cork feet
Just like a normal flapjack, however, this sees the wrestler reach both legs of the opponent rather than one. From this point, the wrestler will lift the opponent upward while holding it from both legs, and then fall backwards, throwing the opponent first into the mat. Double flapjacks are commonly used when dealing with tag teams to perform Death Drop.
Hotshot
A hero is called when a flapjack is done so the opponent falls on a rope strap. Named after "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert.
Popup
Also called Flapjack Free-fall or Push-up. A pop-up is a flapjack in which the attacker, in the face of the opponent who rushes towards him, throws the opponent vertically into the air without holding on to the opponent. Attacker stands or a free air opponent to perform an attack after a pop-up. Examples of attacks from a standing wrestler include taking a blow to Europe to a falling opponent, or capturing an opponent and then doing a powerbomb sitout. Examples of attacks from air foes include executing free kicks on standing opponents. The tag team can also take advantage of pop-ups by throwing opponents into teams that will carry out attacks.
full Nelson
Full Slam nelson
In this step, the attacker puts their opponent inside the full nelson and uses it to lift them off the ground. With the opponent in the air, the attacker releases one arm (so their opponent is now in half nelson) and slams the opponent back into the rug. Another similar variation, known as double chickenwing slam, sees wrestlers applying a double chicken instead of a full nelson before slamming the opponent. Damien Sandow uses the full nelson version as his finisher, during 2014-2015 he nicknamed "You're Welcome!"
Half nelson slam
Wrestlers stand behind, slightly to one side and face the opponent. The wrestler reaches under one of the opponent's arms with the corresponding arm and places the palm of their hand behind the opponent's neck, thus forcing the opponent's arm up into the air to complete the half nelson. The wrestler then lifts the opponent, turns, and falls forward, slamming the opponent back into the rug.
Inverted full nelson slam
Also known as reverse full nelson slam, this variation sees investigators slipping and tucking their arms under an opponent's armpits and then gripping the opponent's lower jaw. Then, the attacker lifts the opponent before falling forward to slam the opponent back into the rug first.
Giant swing
The giant swing starts with the opponent lying on the mat, facing up, and the wrestler at the opposite leg. The wrestler takes the opponent's leg under his arm, similar to the setting for the catapult, but the pivot, spins to lift the opponent from the mat. Attackers can release an opponent to send it flying, or just slowly until the back of the opponent returns to the ground. WWE's Cesaro uses a giant swing as a signature movement.
Decrease Guillotine
This step sees the attacking wrestler lifting the opponent in a guillotine choke that stands up and knocks the opponent's spine first into the mat. This eventually causes an effect throughout the spine and neck. Variations involving double standing underhooks rather than guillotine chokes also exist.
Gorilla press
Decrease in gorilla press
Wrestlers lift their opponents over their heads with fully extended hands then dropping opponents forward in front or back. This is the Finisher for former Chyna wrestler (now deceased). This is a popular technique for very big wrestlers because it emphasizes their height and strength.
Gorilla press gutbuster
The maneuver in which the user drops the opponent directly in front of them while putting their own knees in front of them. The victim then landed the abdomen and/or the first rib on their knees, made more impact by long drop.
Gorilla press powerslam
Gorilla Press where the attacker will drop the opponent from the appointed position equal to Gorilla Press Spinebuster, but then rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction so they crashed in Powerslam instead. It is used as a Hand Signature by wrestlers such as Goldberg, Ryback, and Lars Sullivan
Gorilla hit slam
This slam sees the first wrestlers lifting their opponents over their heads with fully extended hands (as in the military press used in heavy lifting), before lowering the arm under the opponent's head so that the opponent falls onto that side, while flipping over and landing on his back. The attacking wrestler can repeatedly press the opponent above to show his strength, before dropping it. This step is also called the press press of the military.
Rotary rotary rotary gorilla
Gorilla Press where the user drops the opponent and turns it 90 degrees, drops past his shoulders facing the opposite direction of the attacker, before being pushed to the ground in Spinebuster maneuvers. Goldberg used the move as a Signature.
Gutbuster
A gutbuster is any movement in which a wrestler lifts its opponent up and jumps or drops it so that the opponent's stomach affects the body of the wrestler, usually the knee. A basic gutbuster is often called a stomach breaker and is essentially the same as a backbreaker but with an opponent facing the opposite direction. This similarity with backbreakers is reflected in almost every variation of gutbuster, which if reversed will be backbreakers and vice versa.
elevated gutbuster
The variation of this gutbuster sees the first opponent lifted into the high lifting transition grip before being dropped down for the gutbuster. Taiji Ishimori used the Single version of the movement when the finisher called him Bloody Cross.
Fireman brings gutbuster
This is the most common version of a high gutbuster and sees the first attacking wrestler lifting an opponent on their shoulder; a position known as a fire extinguisher, before then falling to one knee while lifting an opponent above their head forces them to drop and affect their open knees. A small variation of this uses a modified double knee gutbuster and sees wrestlers attacking falling onto their backs while carrying both knees to allow the opponent to land. Darren Young used the move as the finisher who called him Gutcheck .
Gutbuster drop
A high gutbuster in which an attacking wrestler will raise the opponent, the first-belly, on one of their shoulders before dropping to their knees forces the opponent's stomach to impact on the wrestler's shoulder.
Rib breaker
Rib breaker is a gutbuster version involving wrestlers who scoop up an opponent by poking between the opponent's legs with one hand and grabbing around their backs from the same side as the other arm. The wrestlers then lift their opponents upwards so that they are horizontal in the wrestler's body. From here the wrestlers descend to one knee, forcing the opponent to drop the abdomen/rib-first against the wrestler lifting the knee.
Headlock abandonment
Also known as spinning headlock locking. This throw begins with a wrestler that catches the opponent in the side headlock. The wrestler will rotate and rotate (body) so that his back will be literally horizontal against the opponent's body. The wrestler turns to either side (depending on which hand he catches the opponent) while still catching the opponent with his head. Therefore, the opponent will be thrown back into the mattress after almost "forcibly flipping" over the wrestler (as the wrestler turns to the side).
Headlock driver
Similar to snapmare drivers, wrestlers apply side headlocks before dropping on their chests or knees and pushing the opponent's head to the forehead of the first mat, with side headlock. This is the original version of the finisher used by Dean Ambrose, known as Dirty Deeds . Ethan Carter III uses this as a finisher and he calls it One Percenter .
Headscissors removal
This step is done with the foot of the wrestler shifted around the opponent's head, dragging the opponent into the forced forceps forward when the wrestler falls onto the mat. It is often incorrectly called Hurricanrana in American wrestling, but due to the lack of a combination of double foot holder, it is the removal of standard headscissors.
Handstand headscissors takedown
This step is done when the wrestler attacks, in the handstand position, scissors his legs around the opponent's head and follows with the taxi headscissors. There are several variations of the handstand headscissors takedown, for example, in one variation, the wrestler attacks rolling forward after scratching his legs around his opponent's head; on the other hand, the opponent rolls back to the handstand position to be followed by headscissors and uninstallation. This is usually used by Kalisto and Cedric Alexander. This move is also popularized by Trish Stratus, who uses it as a signature movement, called the "Stratusphere".
Tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown
This step is actually a counter. Usually, the opponent seizes the wrestling attacker (as if he is going to do the sidewalk on the sidewalk), counter attacks and swings his body upwards, then cuts his legs around the opponent's head, spins around the opponent's body and swings his legs down, resulting in Headscissors Removal.
Hurricanrana
Although often referred to as Hurricanrana , the original Spanish name for this maneuver is HuracÃÆ'¡nrana (the name was taken from his innovator, Mexican luchador HuracÃÆ'¡n RamÃÆ'rez). Sometimes referred to as a reversed victory roll, it is the removal of headscissors that end up with a double foot holder clasped. (A shutter is a double foot holder.)

Also called a hammer throw. A step in which a wrestler grabs one arm and spins his opponent, sweeping an opponent into an obstacle like a rope, a turnbuckle, or a ladder leading to the ring. Irish whip into the ring ring is usually used to set the opponent to another technique when he bounces. Irish whips to turnbuckles usually see the opponent stay in the corner, allowing continued attacks from wrestlers; the opponent may remain standing or slump to the ground, usually in a sitting position, which will vary the attack. One-time use of the Irish whip is to try to "hit to cycle" by whipping your opponent into each corner in turn. Some professional wrestlers can use this step as an advantage by running turnbuckle and using high flying gestures.
The move was named after her relationship with Irish wrestler Danno O'Mahony.
