I saw this on another board and I thought it was pretty damn funny. Anyone ever bust out wrestling moves in a real fight? Let's hear about it here......

I saw this thread on another board, and thought the lies got a little out of hand...though very funny.

Of course headlocks and facelocks are standard fare. I actually saw a dude use a vertical suplex in a fight in high school. He didn't hold him up for 20 seconds, but there was the definite setup, lift and fall back that only a pro-wrestling fan would try. Got a big crowd reaction.

I got full-on gorilla-press slammed by a dude in middle school during a real fight. It didn't hurt that much, but it was rather humiliating.

The Tazmission but that's actually a legit hold and it's good for control reasons. I also like using it to set up choke holds. I've lifted people into fireman's carries and just thrown them before. That's about it though.

I also did a belly to back suplex type move once. The guy had me in a headlock and I lifted him off the ground and dropped him.

One time I was fighting with this kid and I got him in a side headlock.......I almost made him pass out.

If also done the belly to back suplex move that MD talked about as well.

I've also used the same type of move on people that Matt Hughes uses in UFC as one of his signatures (it's kind of like putting someone over your shoulder and driving them into the ground).......

I once accidentally gave my friend a real Rock Bottom on his basement floor when we were having a fake fight in 9th grade. It was pretty funny, he didn't get up for a few minutes and had a few choice words to say to me.

In the movie script I'm writing, I choreographed ( ;) ) an entire fight scene using wrestling moves

Not necessarily like a real all-out fight or anything, but moves like the Boston Crab and ankle lock. But those are shoot moves. And things like a superkick, but that's martial arts. It was mostly to prove to different people that wrestling moves do suck to be in if they're done right, after saying that all wrestling moves are fake.

But then again, that's just because I can't really pick anyone up in a gorilla press or anything.

And also...if you count backyard days, and no, I wasn't one of "those" backyard kids (minus a horrible ladder match). We still did wrestling moves, but again, a lot of the moves were strength moves for certain people, submission holds, martial arts or just creative pins.

my fair share of backyard stuff as well, although my real claim to fame came in the following:

Not really a fight, but kind of. Played intramural basketball in high school. Our team was already kind of known as "the wrestling team" since we were all active in a backyard wrestling fed that had actually gained us a bit of acclaim/ridicule. Anyway, the team I was on had some bad blood with the team we were playing that night, stemming from two of the guys getting in a fight earlier in the year. Well, things were getting rougher and rougher. See, the referees for these games were Varisty ball players, and one of them was best friends with the guy from the opposing team who had been in the fight. So he was letting them hack the shit out of us. (Sounds like some shitty episode of RAW or something). Anyway, a big looseball scramble ensued, and I dove for the ball about midcourt along with a few other players. I didn't get it, but found one of the opposing players' legs right in my arms instead. Instincively, and hilarious, I yanked on it, dropped him down to the floor, and snapped on an ankle-lock.

Of course, he looked at me like I was retarded, since I wasn't really trying to hurt the guy. I got ejected, we lost again, and our roles were further supplanted in lame high school hierarchy as "those wrestling guys."

Ahhh, memories.

The only time I've ever tried anything that has to do in wrestling in a real fight was selling, because I got my ass kicked in the 2 fights I've had in my life.

However... I DID spray someone in the eyes with breath freshner, so you could say I stole that from Rick Martel's Arrogance angle with Jake Roberts. :)

Wow, you always get your ass kicked and you resort to bitch tactics in a fight.....

You sound like a natural heel to me.

Should I take that as an insult, a compliment, or a little bit of both? :lol:

Hahahaha. If anything, at my school, you had to sell kick/punches, etc. to the junk. If you no sold, you would get hit again.

Even if you could tell someone was off and kicked the inside of your leg, if they didn't notice, you sold it. One kid refused to sell it. And he got hit in the junk more often. And there was another kid who was a theatre kid, tried selling the move, but sucked at. The bigger kid, insulted, runs backside, picks up a chair, and spikes it into the groin of the other kid.

:sigh: ...Memories. :D

Yeah, I was on the selling end of the only fight I'd ever been in. I was already involved in a legal situation, and really couldn't afford anything else, so I decided to just take it like a bitch.

I've done a lot of hiptosses as people tried to put me in a headlock. And I've used the dragon sleeper before.

Funny Story: In my high school Audio/Video class we filmed a kung fu movie, complete with training scenes filmed in the wrestling room. The "sensei" was basically wrestling with his "student." Before we left, he "kicked" him in the gut and called out "pedigree!" He actually did the pedigree, but the other guy didn't pick up his head. After laughing about it and make sure he was alright, we asked him why and it turns out he'd never seen the move before.

My friends and I used to wrestle on his trampoline, which was probably the stupidest thing ever. This was back in maybe 5th or 6th grade, when we were really into the WCW. My French friend even invented his own move, "The Big Chin", where he would trap your arms and grind his chin into your back. Hurt like hell.

But I did almost accidentally kill this kid one time. I was trying to get a running clothesline going to slam him to the ground, and he decided to jump at the same time. So instead of forcing him down, I hit him full in the throat and sent him flying, ass over tea kettle, over the side of the trampoline and onto the stump of an old tree. We had to carry him inside because he was crying like a baby.


Good times.

Ahh, inspired another good story.

My friend and I used to wrestle in his basement. 3rd and 4th grade I'd say. Major markdown, and we both got our faces painted at some "fun fair" thing like Hawk and Animal. And then once again like the Warrior. Anyway, we would goof off on his mattress, mainly DDTs if I remember correctly. Well, we had this friend over once, who was kind of a "badass" but into wrestling. He wanted to play, and we got paired up in a match. Keep in mind, this is when we though "planning anything out would be stupid", so you are kind of, half trying to "win" and half trying to fake it. He caught my foot on some kind of kick, and I did the only thing I could think of. I enziguiri'd the SHIT out of him, catching him right in the mouth with my shoe'd foot. He started spitting blood, and was REALLY pissed, so I cried like a woman and ran home to my mom.

More good times.

I have some outrageously awesome backyard/living room wrestling stories if we ever get really bored.

:gets inspired: ...I think we know our new thread. ;)
