In this case, a 468-pound man taking a running, leaping squat right down on your sternum. Earthquake Splash When the wrestler is named Earthquake, you get what you sign up for. Roberts' DDT may have been the most feared maneuver in all of late '80s WWF. Back when Jake "The Snake" Roberts used the move though - it was curtains for anyone he dropped on their face. Even though, yes, it clearly seems like the person caught in it should be totally rendered unconscious, DDTs usually only garner a 2-count now. DDT Though Superstars such as Dean Ambrose and Alexa Bliss still use variations of the DDT as their finishers today, the move is nowhere close to what it used to be. Just about everyone fell to this maneuver (until Hogan turned heel for WCW in '96), even if it didn't seem like they were all that wrecked.
But it fit Hogan to a "T." It was impactful, it was direct, and it spoke to his blunt brawling nature as a charismatic cartoon hero come to life. You know, if you're searching for a finisher that actually looks devastating enough to close out hundreds and hundreds of matches. Leaping Legdrop Okay, so Hulk Hogan's leg drop finisher wasn't the best. His particular stance, and delivery of elbow, would be lovingly emulated years later by the likes of CM Punk and Bayley. But once he climbed those buckles and stood tall on the top rope, he was a poised and pristine weapon. Between the ropes, Savage was a wild man a relentless brawler who'd pummel his foes with fists, chokes, and stomps.

Otherwise, the opponent who is in the top position may grab his ankle and bring him down again. The only thing is that a part from getting the technique, is that the wrestler has to be swift enough and agile. The wrestlers use escape to get to a standing position. The most simplest and basic moves in this category are escape or stand up and switch. The moves within this technique are used by a wrestler when he is at the bottom, that is on the ground or mat. Of course, these things will have to be done within the periphery of the rules. Moreover, the opponent has no scope for defending himself by standing up, do a switch or a roll. On the other hand, the wrist-and-half-Nelson is used for getting the opponent on the mat, which makes it easier for the other wrestler to attack him.
The move is finished by sliding one knee into the back at a high level for bracing the opponent in the air and rocking him back on his shoulders. Then he locks the hands for almost folding the opponent in half. In the cradle, the wrestler who is on top hooks an elbow behind the knee of the opponent, and keeps one behind his head. A couple of widely known moves from the top are the wrist-and-half-Nelson and cradle. More often than not, these are either used to pin the opponent or get some quick near-fall points. Moves from the top are executed when a wrestler is in the top position. So here are the 3 basic wrestling techniques, and a few moves within them.
