If there were a wrestling move called the “white claw”, it would mean watching every minute of every round of the NCAA tournament over three days - in person - until the end of the 1st period of the last match wrestled, and then leaving early to beat traffic and missing one of the greatest upsets in sports history.
 
Don't tell Steve Martin that it is just a granby...it is a whole series of wrestling. I taught Math at Granby High School for a few years... only one vote for me.

There is the:
5 on 2 for the mathematicians
Barbed wire for the rural folks - sometimes called the butcher - again for the rural folks (ie farmers and ranchers)
Slight correction from the original list - it is the wizard not whizzar :) a favorite of a magician (or possibly the Magic man)
Pancake for those with a sweet tooth
Steering wheel for those who are on the road a lot

My favorite move is called "The Cowboy". I've never seen it used in an actual match. I saw Wade Schalles demonstrate the move at a clinic when I was maybe 10 years old. I'm not sure which clinic it was, perhaps the week in Grundy, VA. My dad was a technician at several Schalles clinics and I would get to attend for free. Since I was usually the youngest kid there, I never really fully participated, but this move always stuck with me. It is certainly a "joke" move, but I've always thought that it does have practical use.

Let me try to describe the move. You have a bar arm and your opponent bellied out. Without fully running the bar, you step over his head into kind of a "leg half" position. Keep the arm wrapped and sit up as your opponent rolls to their back. You should now be in a rodeo-esque position with your opponent on their back, you sitting on their chest, and their arm wrapped like a rope. Incredibly embarrassing position for your opponent and a great position for you to pose for pictures. :p
 
Iowa created a new one a few years ago.

It’s called the Foster Grant 😈
 
was watching some old PSU videos a few guys when the opponent got their leg in the air they would grab the head fall backwards and get the TD haven't seen that move for yrs but they did it well I don't even know what it was called!
