Professional wrestling strikes

Bad Luck Fale uses a variation, what is preceded by a choke-lift, called Grenade[1] Terry Gordy used this as a move alongside the Thumb choke hold which he dubbed the Oriental Spike.

A move in which one wrestler runs toward another extending their arm out from the side of the body and parallel to the ground, hitting the opponent in the neck or chest, knocking them over.

The wrestler either falls forward, or jumps up and drops down, hitting a lying opponent with a kesagiri chop on the way down, usually landing in a kneeling position.

Utilized by wrestlers including Jerry Lawler, Ted DiBiase, The Honky Tonk Man and John Cena, the latter of whom calls it the Five Knuckle Shuffle.

There is a snapping variation called karate fist drop that can be performed in a series, setting the wrestler besides a fallen opponent in a front stance known as Zenkutsu dachi.

A maneuver aiming to hurt and/or humiliate an opponent, usually having them sitting or leaning the back of the head against the bottom corner turnbuckle, while the attacking wrestler repeatedly rubs their boot's sole across their face.

Tito Santana used this move as a finisher as did Lex Luger who used the version that saw him using the inside flat portion of the forearm, held at a 90 degree angle, while falling to his knees or chest first.

A wrestler charges rising an arm at a 45 degree angle, driving the bottom portion of the forearm to the opponent's head or shoulder in a swinging motion, usually falling as the strike connects face first to the canvas.

[1] Lex Luger (who also used the flying version above) used a variation of this move finisher which saw him striking the opponent using the flat inside portion with his forearm, held at a 90 degree angle, in a fashion similar to that of a crooked arm lariat.

This can either be performed in mid clinch or with the attacking wrestler charging at a kneeling or bent over opponent, lifting the knee upward to strike underneath the jaw or the side of the head.

Properly called Gamengiri (from the original Japanese Gamen / "face" and Giri / "Cut"), it is a variation of an enzuigiri where the wrestler jumps up, not taking a step or hold with the lead foot and kicks the opponent in the side of the head/face.

This move sees the wrestler delivering an open-handed strike with arm movement akin to a cross, usually to the opponent's chin, face or chest.

[1] Also called blazing chop, this variation sees a standing wrestler striking the chest of a charging opponent with both palms sideways, shoving them down to the mat back first.

The wrestler holds an arm out horizontally and executes a back fist whilst turning the body swiftly, hitting the opponent on rotation.

[1] The wrestler raises the opponent's left arm up over their head, sometimes folding it back behind the neck as well, then delivers a strong straight into the side of the ribcage.

The move is alleged to rely on "Oriental pressure points" to strike a nerve causing the opponent's heart to momentarily stop, rendering them unconscious.

Stan "The Man" Stasiak, Ox Baker and Big John Studd are professional wrestlers well known for their use of the heart punch as a wrestling maneuver.

This attack involves a wrestler standing on the middle or top ropes and delivering repeated crosses to the face while the opponent is backed up against the turnbuckles.

Similar to the Muay Thai version, this attack sees a wrestler leap into the air, snapping the rear leg back before striking with a swinging overhand to the opponent's head.

In Spanish, the word senton (Properly spelled as Sentón) refers to landing on the lower back or buttocks after taking a fall, either on purpose (as for comedic effect) or accidentally.

Also named rear view or butt thump, is usually performed with a running start, then the attacking wrestler jumps into the air, spinning around, and thrusting the pelvis backward, thus hitting the opponent's face or chest with hip or buttocks.

Another slight variation on a standard senton sees the attacking wrestler jump and flip forward 180° so that the lower back impacts on the opponent's chest or head.

A maneuver that sees a standing wrestler strike usually ramming with a shoulder, by keeping an arm down by the side into a charging opponent's chest or abdomen.

This variation is usually either preceded by an Irish Whip to an adjacent side of the ring or used to cut-off an opponent already running the ropes, further increasing the move' s impact.

Other wrestlers including Cope, Batista, Bobby Lashley, Roman Reigns, Moose, Christian Cage and Jey Uso have made the spear either their finishing or signature moves.

This can be performed from an elevated position as a diving double foot stomp as done by Finn Bálor, who uses this move as his finisher called the Coup de Grâce.

Large, heavy wrestlers often perform this move by simply standing over a defenseless opponent next to the apron both feet and grabbing a hold on the top rope, squashing the fallen body.

The opponent often places both arms on the tope rope and their back against the top turnbuckle as they remain seated trying to recover as Dustin moves away from them to create space.

In other cases, an obvious loophole by the very nature of the move would allow it to be exploited as it Dustin doesn't kick the opponent in the groin directly thus avoiding a DQ loss.

The wrestler (using a concealed lighter) lights a piece of flash paper or a firecracker and throws it at the opponent, giving the impression of a supernatural ball of fire emerging from their hand.
