Classic Moves

• 1). Run across the ropes and stretch your arm straight out to the side. Aim the center of your arm toward an opponent’s neck and knock him down to perform a classic clothesline.
  
  
• 2). Wait for your opponent to run at you and then jump and kick both legs into the air to knock your opponent to the mat. This is known as the dropkick.
  
  
• 3). Wrap both of your arms around an opponent’s neck from behind his back. This is the sleeper hold, a classic WWE trademark move.
  
  
• 4). Kick your opponent in the gut, stick his head underneath your arm and then slam his head into the wrestling mat. This is an example of the DDT, a move used by former WWE stars Jake Roberts and Mick Foley.
  
  
• 5). Climb to the top turnbuckle, jump off and drive your elbow into an opponent’s chest. This is the classic elbow drop and one of the signature top rope moves in the WWE.
