The Fisherman’s suplex is one of the sexiest, most spectacular and highly efficient women’s wrestling moves. It is a variation of the common suplex, with a few extra twists thrown in, which make this throw a truly outstanding wrestling maneuver.

The attacker locks the victim’s head under one of her arms. Puts the victim’s free arm over her head and reaches out with her other hand. Instead of slipping her fingers under her opponent’s bathing suit though (at the leg-hole) to use that for leverage, she hooks one of her opponent’s legs, by bending it at the knee and pulling it up. She will use that hooked leg for leverage instead of the thin nylon-lycra material of the bathing suit/leotard. Once in position, she lifts her opponent upward while falling back, and executing the suplex. The cool thing about the fisherman’s suplex is that upon landing, the victim will fall right into a leghook pin, which – given the impact of the move – has good chances to finish her off on the spot. All the attacker needs to do is to keep the leghook locked and to keep bridging.

Possible escape: don’t let your opponent set you up for the hold and hook your leg. Once you’re flying, there’s nothing you can do to avoid the impact and the humiliating pin that follows.

Rating: The Fisherman’s suplex is an extremely spectacular move and it’s highly efficient too. It can be used as a finisher without any problems.
