The knockout is not a wrestling hold per se. It is more like the result of a hold, a throw or a submission hold, which leaves the victim unconscious and unable to continue the match. In this case, the knocked out wrestlerette’s opponent is declared the winner.

Although strikes are forbidden in women’s professional wrestling, knockouts can occur. Some throws are violent in nature and can lead to the victim’s passing out.  Various sleeper holds (never try these at home or anywhere for that matter- they’re extremely dangerous) can also lead to KOs. Some submission holds are so painful they can lead to the victim losing consciousness. In female wrestling, especially cruel wrestlerettes have a technique to keep their victims from passing out in such submission holds: they pinch their victim’s inner thighs. Because the skin is so sensitive there, such practices will often succeed in re-invigorating a fallen wrestlerette.

Most pins are attained as the result of a brief KO delivered to the victim.

Possible escapes: because it is not a wrestling hold, there is no specific way to escape a KO. Just try to stay out of situations that may result in one.

Efficiency: doesn’t apply here.
