Professional wrestling throws

Professional wrestling throws are the application of professional wrestling techniques that involve lifting the opponent up and throwing or slamming them down. They are sometimes also called "power" maneuvers, as they are meant to emphasize a wrestler's strength. Many of these moves are used as finishers by various wrestlers, who refer to them by several different names that reflect their gimmick. Moves are listed under general categories whenever possible.

Armbreaker

An armbreaker is any move in which the wrestler slams the opponent's arm against a part of the wrestler's body, usually a knee or shoulder.

Diving armbreaker

A wrestler dives from the ropes and lands on the opponent's arm.

Double knee armbreaker

The wrestler grabs one of the opponent's arms, jumps and connects both their knees against the opponent's stretched arm. As the wrestler falls onto their back, this forces the opponent's arm down into both knees, thus damaging it. A variant where the performing wrestler puts his opponent in a hammerlock before performing a double knee maneuver similar to a double knee backbreaker also exists, simply known as a hammerlock double knee armbreaker.

Snap armbreaker

The attacking wrestler grabs the opponent's arm as in a cross armbar attempt, and proceeds to pull the arm in a snap motion towards their own body.
