The magical world of female wrestling is a fine mix of glamour and action. Take either out of the equation and you have but an empty shell left, with close to 0 entertainment value.
The glamour part comes a courtesy of the shimmery-shiny striking outfits which exclaim “ I can beat you and look good doing it!”, the action part comes as a result of hard training, acquired skills and natural ring prowess.

Glamour is easily achievable, skill and prowess though are much harder to come by. It takes the lady wrestlers talent, dedication and countless hours of training to expand their wrestling holds arsenal and to bring you that acrobatic and sensual spectacle which keeps you glued to your computer or TV screen.

Female wrestling holds can be split into three categories:

Throws (like bodyslams, suplexes and a variety of other high-risk moves) require a perfect harmony and cooperation between the victim and the attacker. Getting a move like this wrong can result in injury, so please, if you’re training to be a wrestlerette do not try to imitate the moves presented below unless you’re filled in on how to do them by a professional.

Electric Chair	Sidewalk Slam	Monkey Flip	Fisherman's Suplex	Michinoku Driver	Samoan Drop
Slingshot	Snap Mare	Bulldog	Snap Suplex	Powerslam	Armdrag
Irish Whip	Hiptoss	Clothesline	Atomic Drop	Dropkick	Bodyslam
Knock Out	Splash	Vertical Suplex	Crucifix	Headbutt to the Groin	Piledriver

…

Pinning maneuvers (like the leghook pin, the small package and the schoolgirl pin) are more sensual and less risky moves. Executing such moves perfectly can make the difference between an exhilarating end to a bout and a disappointing one.

Sunset Flip	Jackknife Pin	Grapevine Pin
Doublepin	Leghook Pin	Schoolgirl
Crossbody Pin	Pile Up	Matchbook Pin

Submission holds are some of the sexiest moves in women’s wrestling. These are sometimes simple sometimes intricate combinations of locks, grips and holds meant to break down the willpower of the defending wrestlerette and to make her surrender the match. According to most female wrestlers, a win by a submission is worth much more psychologically than one via a pin.
Exercise caution while practicing these submission holds, they too can result in injury if applied irresponsibly.
