The swinging neckbreaker is a highly spectacular women’s wrestling throw which can in theory be used as a finisher. It is a high impact move which certainly looks spectacular-enough to end a bout in style. It starts out with the attacker kicking or punching the victim in the belly to make her lean forth. She then gets an arm around her neck and grabs hold of one of her arms with her free hand. She does a couple of back and forth swings (the move can be done without such textbook swinging too), then suddenly twists around with her opponent’s neck still locked, until they both face upward, with their backs toward the floor. The attacker then simply falls backward, driving her opponent back and neck-first into the canvas.
There is a swinging neckbreaker variation, in which the attacker – instead of grabbing the victim’s arm with her free hand, hooks one of her legs in standing position. She holds on to that hooked leg all through the move, only letting go after impact. The hooked leg certainly makes the move more spectacular because it makes the victim look even more exposed and unable to counter the move that’s about to rock her.

Possible escape: by hooking a leg around your attacker’s leg before she twists into the move, you can block the hold. Other than that, there’s not much else you can do but suffer.

Rating: the Swinging neckbreaker (especially the hooked-legged version) is extremely spectacular, and though the amplitude of the actual throw is not that impressive, the impact does end up being a solid one if properly executed. Definitely suited to be used as a finishing move.
