The groin buster is a relatively spectacular women’s wrestling move, mostly used as a transition move from one hold to another. The Groin Buster is a high impact move, targeting the groin area of the victim (hence the name). This is one of those moves where execution is everything. If done sloppily, the groin buster can end up looking pretty bad. If done properly though, it will look good.

The victim is on her back on the mat/ring floor. The attacker holds her legs up and apart. She then leaps into the air and then comes crashing down with her legs extended hitting between the victim’s two legs, which she continues to hold on to. Usually, once the victim realizes what the attacker is up to, she will beg and plead in order to make her change her mind. The move is always executed despite the pleading though. All this begging, pretty much counts as part of the move.

Possible escape: the groin buster requires a certain level of cooperation on the part of the victim. If you want to escape the move, just don’t allow your opponent to hold your legs up and apart: it is actually pretty easy to accomplish. Once your opponent leaps upwards though, there’s not much you can do to prevent her from delivering the groin buster.

Rating: the groin buster is meant to soften the victim up, it is not a decisive move, thus its efficiency is rather limited. Despite that, the groin buster is applied quite frequently, due to its spectacular nature, and due to the fact that everyone in the audience loves nut-shots.
