Professional wrestling double-team maneuvers

Alright kiddo, so you know how sometimes in wrestling matches there are two wrestlers teaming up against one other wrestler, right? That's called a double team! And sometimes, these two wrestlers work together to do special moves on their opponent, and those are called double-team maneuvers.

For example, let's say Wrestler A and Wrestler B are teaming up against Wrestler C. Wrestler A might hold Wrestler C in place, while Wrestler B does a running jump and puts his or her feet on Wrestler C's chest, knocking him or her down. That move is called a double dropkick!

Another move they might do is called a double suplex. This one's a bit more complicated, so listen closely. Wrestler A and Wrestler B will stand on either side of Wrestler C, each putting an arm around his or her head and grabbing under his or her leg. Then, they'll lift Wrestler C up into the air and flip him or her over, slamming him or her down onto the mat. It's like a big group hug, but with a slam at the end!

There are dozens of other double-team maneuvers that wrestlers might perform, but those are just two examples. So next time you watch a wrestling match, keep an eye out for these special moves where two wrestlers work together to take down their opponent!
