There are quite a few 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 about the shoulder area and the assailant will grip the arms extending the arms length wise. The shoulder is eventually dropped to the mat. This is a pin in most instances unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.

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

The various moves, manoeuvres and holds appear to be painful 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 ’signals’ to end the bout whenever should they wish to.

The wrestling holds and slams seem serious on television, simply because the cameras and other distractions divert the attention of the audience. Wrestling is similar to how magicians work. Magicians rehearse their acts before they go on stage. There is always a gimmick or explanation, yet the magician does his act so smoothly and the audience is so distracted, that the magician makes people believe he/she is the real thing.

The arm drags include using brute force, getting the opponent in a hook move, the assailant flips the challenger to the mats. Most of the moves are devised by one or the other wrestler and so it may become a popular move. Some of the older moves include the Gallatin and the Banana Split

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

The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling which is sometimes called the ’spin wrist lock hold’. This manoeuvre is often followed up by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks or gouges.

A few other arm moves include the arm stretches, arm breakers, arm wringer, arm locks, arm bar and arm scissors. While the arm moves are very well-known in the ring, there are many moves you may see 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 shall look at it together.

At present, from what I can make out the Amityville Horror is just a way to persuade people to rent or buy the film of the same name. I did see the move listed in the list of wrestling moves, however, as of yet, no information is available about what this move is about. Moves are basically brands made up by the wrestlers, so I’m assuming that the wrestler felt he had devised one of the most horrific moves in wrestling, so he gave it the name the Amityville Horror.

Why do some moves get roaring applause? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring brings in something new and it becomes his trademark, popular final move in bouts.
