As far as I’m concerned, double teaming is one of the most sensitive issues in women’s wrestling. Though theoretically illegal, some amount of double teaming seems to be allowed in some women’s matches. Correct me if I’m wrong here (you can use our female wrestling forum for that), as I’m not 100% sure what the rules say in this respect, but it seems to me like a single double teaming move is allowed after a tag is made. That means the woman who’s tagging out slaps her partner’s hand, after which the two of them can execute a double clothesline, double suplex or a double combo move on the victim.

Most double teaming occurs when the victim gets stuck in the other team’s corner though and it usually goes down illegally. Handicap matches may feature perfectly legal double teaming.

Possible escape: Make sure you don’t get caught in the opposing team’s corner. Other than that if your opponents decide to double team you, all you can do it try to get out of it as unscathed as possible. Hope that your teammate will jump in too to even the odds.

Efficiency: Through its very nature, the double team is one of the most efficient moves. When the action goes two on one, someone is going to end up seriously roughed up, and it’s not going to be the girls who work together.
