Red Rooster Finishing Moves Some of Terry`s finishing moves when he was known as the Red Rooster were some of the most powerful finishing moves ever seen !! These were : Chicken Wing (elevated back-to-back hammerlock) The wrestler grabs his/her opponent's arm, pulling it around behind the opponent's back. This stretches the pectorals and shoulder joint, and immobilizes the arm. Cock o' the Walk (sharpshooter) The opponent starts supine. The wrestler steps between his opponent's legs with one leg and wraps the opponent's legs around that leg. Holding the opponent's legs in place, the wrestler then steps over the opponent, flipping him over into a prone position. Finally, the wrestler leans back to compress the legs. Other Terry Taylor Finishing Moves Include: Five Arm (Flying Forearm) While running towards an opponent (usually after bouncing off the ropes), an attacking wrestler would leap up into the air, before connecting with a clothesline. Figure Four Leglock The wrestler using this move stands over the opponent who is lying on the mat, face up and grasps a leg of the opponent. The wrestler then places their leg in between their opponent's legs, turns 180 degrees over the leg and grasps the other leg, crossing them as he does so and falls to the mat, applying pressure to the opponent's crossed legs with his own. Rolling Boston Crab This typically starts with the opponent on his back, and the wrestler standing and facing him. The wrestler hooks each of the opponent's legs in one of his arms, and then turns the opponent face-down, stepping over him in the process. The final position has the wrestler in a semi-sitting position and facing away from his opponent, with the opponent's back and legs bent back toward his face. Gutwrench Powerbomb A gutwrench powerbomb involves a wrestler standing over an opponent locking their arms around the opponent's waist and lifting them up, flipping them over, and slamming them down to the mat back first. Usually the attacker sits down while slamming the opponent. Jawbreaker A jawbreaker is any move in which the wrestler slams his/her opponent's jaw against a part of the wrestler's body, usually his/her knee, head or shoulder. A standard jawbreaker is seen when an attacker (either stands facing or not facing victim) places his/her head under the jaw of the victim and holds the victim in place before falling into a sitting or kneeling position, driving the jaw of the victim into the to of his/her head. Sometimes it is also used to counter a headlock by the opponent. Sunset Flip This move commonly sees an attacking wrestler dive over an opponent who is facing him/her, usually bent over forwards, catching the oppoent in a waistlock from behind and landing back-first behind the opponent. From that position the wrestler rolls forward into a sitting position, pulling the opponent over backwards and down to the mat so that he lands on his back into a pinning position. This move can be performed from the top rope on a grounded opponent or on an elevated opponent so that a type of powerbomb can be performed. WWF Wrestler Terry Taylor Finishing Moves |
