diamond cutter wrestler

To conclude a professional wrestling match, a grapple maneuver known as the diamond cutter is employed. This move necessitates an invert headlock to be initially initiated by the wrestler. Subsequently, launching off the ground while still entrapping their foe, the competitor levitates into the air and commences to rotate. As they quickly descend to the mat, their elbow adeptly whips into the back of their opponent’s neck as they extend their legs outward. This savvy timing causes both entities to hit the ground simultaneously thus inducing knocked out state upon the enemy – a signature conclusion to any wrestling bout.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was credited for making the diamond cutter famous as his career-defining move, and further propagation of this finisher came courtesy of superstars such as John Cena, CM Punk, and AJ Styles.

Executing the diamond cutter correctly can inflict serious damage on an opponent, making it necessary to keep their head firmly immobilized before launching yourself off the ground. Taking off and landing with both feet in unison is key – a simultaneous impact will spread the force across the mat and subdue potential harm.
