Research: Professional Wrestling

Well, I’d best explain this jump in word count.

My wrestling matches were getting samey. So, in lieu of producing plot today, I went out and researched wrestling moves. Ultimately, the ones I need will be integrated into matches, but right now, it’s all part of the rough draft.

I learned some fascinating things today, and I hope to learn more. For example, I now know what a lariat is. And how to do a Go To Sleep. Watch out! I’m walking dangerous. In my head, anyway.

Tomorrow, I hope to return to the regular Herc-o-meter.

***

While we’re here, yes, Cerebus’ tail is a snake. Keeping with today’s theme, do you know how to do a lariat? I know, that’s not mythology, but hey, Hercules *is* a wrestler too.

One thought on “Research: Professional Wrestling”

  1. I’ve always been a fan of the “Lou Thesz press.” It’s got history and sounds cool! I also like the belly to back suplex…it’s a basic move that’s very practical…as in I’ve used it in a real fight before. (Not that I’m proud of that!)
