There are many arm moves in wrestling, the most well-known of which are the arm drags, arm swings, arm breakers and over the shoulder arm drags. Another wrestling arm manoeuvre is 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 a part of the opponent’s body where it will cause some pain. Usually, the pin ends with the scissors hold, where the wrestler’s legs, crossed over the challenger’s body, are used to hold 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 keep your attention. The actors rehearse their scenes long before they get into the ring and are trained to send ‘signals’ to end the bout whenever should they want to.

The wrestling holds and slams seem serious on television, simply because the cameras and other distractions divert the attention of the viewers. 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’ involve the assailant getting the opponent in a hook move and then flipping the challenger down to the mats. Most of the moves are thought up by one or the other of the wrestlers and sometimes it may become a popular move. Some of the older moves are the Gallatin and the Banana Split

The ‘over the shoulder’ move ought to be called the ‘body slam’ since the opponent throws the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her down onto the mat. Previously, this wrestling manoeuvre was probably in the group of ‘slammers’, but today it is called the shoulder-arm throw move.

The ‘wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling which is often known as the ‘spin wrist lock hold’. This move is often followed 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 seen when wrestling first had its beginning in ancient times. The Amityville Horror is one of wrestling’s more modern moves. Although, I haven’t worked out what this move is all about, we are about to look at it together.

From what I can make out the Amityville Horror is just a ploy to persuade people to rent or buy the film with the same name. The move is listed in the roll of wrestling moves, however, so far, no information is available about what this move entails. Moves are basically brands devised by the wrestlers themselves, so I’m assuming that the wrestler felt he had devised one of the most horrific moves in wrestling and so he called it 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.
