The Double Team Irish Whip is a professional ladies' wrestling move which is obviously only applicable in a tag-team setting. It is hard to say whether or not the move is a legal one, because both members of both teams are involved in it, which should theoretically be illegal, but officials never quite do anything about it, which would suggest that the move is in fact legal or accepted as such. Anyway, the double team Irish whip starts out the same way the simple Irish whip does. Both attackers get their opponents into a corner (preferably the two diagonally opposed corners of the ring), or they push them into the ring ropes on two opposed sides of the ring. They then execute a simple Irish whip at the same time, which means that instead of sending the victims into a corner or into the ring ropes, they will basically smash them into each other face-first, knocking them both off their feet. The efficiency of the move is clear: the attackers use of their victims bodies as weapons, delivering a blow to both opponents at the same time. Possible escape: the double team Irish whip can (and often is) reversed by the victims. Instead of smashing into each other in the middle of the ring, they hook their arms together, swing around and preserving the momentum of the double Irish whip, they clothesline or shoulder-tackle their attackers. Rating: the double team Irish whip is a rather spectacular move, but it is not considered to deliver enough of an impact to justify its use as a finisher. Also it is quite unclear whether the move is legal or not in mainstream ladies professional wrestling. While unsuited as a finisher, the double Irish whip adds substance and spectacular action to tag team bouts, and we know there can never be enough of that.
