Many of the moves in professional wrestling can cause serious injury if you do not do them right. Although some pain is to be expected, the same as in all contact sports, but they are all impressive. In this article, we'll look at some of the most devastating moves in professional wrestling. Do not try any of these moves unless you have been trained to do so by a professional.

Steps

Traditional Suplex

Get into a DDT position, but wrap their left arm around your head.

Put your right arm on their waist, and lift them up into a vertical position.

Fall backwards, letting your back land first.

Back Suplex

Wrap your opponents right arm around your head, or vice versa if you're a lefty.

Wrap both of your arms around their stomach, and pull up. They should land head first or shoulder first.

German Suplex

Wrap your arms around their stomach.

Pull up until they are over your head.

Let go and they should be thrown over your head and land on the lower part of their neck first.

Fisherman's Suplex

Hook a leg with the suplex. Usually hook the left leg, so that the jumping is easier. The harder the leg is hooked, the less likely it is to hit you in the head if you decide to bridge the move.

Know how you can change this move, and still get the same desired effect.This move can be changed into a pin if you bridge the move, so that you bridge off your head.

Gut-Wrench Suplex

Grab the opponent by their waist.

Lift them up so it takes the form of something much like a gut-wrench power-bomb. (Like Jack Swagger.) Unlike a powerbomb, the move is done over your right shoulder. The opponent needs to take it with a front bump.

Arm Drag Suplex

Grab your opponent's arm, and pull.

Lock your head in their right arm and make sure to have both of your arms holding their waist.

Pull up, so they land back first. This move ends in a pin, and was made and popularized by Chris Jericho.

Butterfly Suplex

Grab your opponent into a general DDT position. Lifting both arms up, hook both of your hands together.

Know how to receive the move.When receiving the move, make sure the opponent is in position, and then pull down with your arms to lock in - Make sure it's not too tight, or they will not be able to remove their arm.

Know how to give the move. Drop to a squat and then take the opponent overhead. When they are at the highest point, remove your right arm, and finish the move as if it were an arm-drag. To sell the move, drop to a front bump.

Northern Lights Suplex

Place yourself in a front face lock/DDT position.

Grab down low, lock your hands on the back of your opponent.

Take your opponent overhead, the opponent should land on his back, Bridge on your head. This can be made into a pin like the fisherman's suplex. Very important that the person receiving does a flip bump. It is very unlikely to get them over without a decent jump.
