Professional Wrestling Aerial Techniques - Arm Twist Ropewalk Chop

Arm Twist Ropewalk Chop

The wrestler takes hold of one of the opponent's wrists and twists that arm in an arm wrench. The wrestler then climbs up the corner turnbuckles and walks on the top rope, before jumping down and striking the opponent's chest, back or the back of their neck. This is often referred to as Old School or "The Crux", the names used by The Undertaker who popularized it.

Famous quotes containing the words arm, twist and/or chop:

    ... possibly there is no needful occupation which is wholly unbeautiful. The beauty of work depends upon the way we meet it—whether we arm ourselves each morning to attack it as an enemy that must be vanquished before night comes, or whether we open our eyes with the sunrise to welcome it as an approaching friend who will keep us delightful company all day, and who will make us feel, at evening, that the day was well worth its fatigues.
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    A light and diplomatic bird
    Is lenient in my window tree.
    A quick dilemma of the leaves
    Discloses twist and tact to me.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
