Can you please state your experience in wrestling and in other martial arts BK?

Any fool can pull off a move like a side kick from Karate, a wrist lock from Aikido, a cut kick from MT or a move from wrestling. But to actually have the power and skill to use such a move under a REAL COMBAT environment is completely different from a couple of kids fights in the school yard.

Oy, as much as I hate to say it, that technique COULD have been pulled off by anyone that watches the wwe...being caught in a headlock like that, I'd be looking to slam the guy any way I could, and just standing up and dropping the guy on his head would be my first reaction...if I didn't know better counters. Still, gotta love it. Wonder if the guy who got caught in the suplex went for a steel chair after he got right up...

Really all he did was pick the guy up and arch himself backwards... he was already in just the right place for it. I don't know if just anyone would think to do something like that in the midst of a pummeling, and it did look like he'd done it before, but I would think a sloppier version of it could at least be pulled off by most people.

How about, "most non-wrestler fighters could do that without special training"

I train karate, and it looks like the sorta thing I'd go for, close up and all, an instinctual type move. I could be wrong, but I have never been wrong before.

Exactly!!!

Theoretically, take someone who has done Martial Arts for years, but only ever done kata/forms, never any sparring. They have mastered (technically speaking) the moves through the practice of their kata/forms.

Now put them in a sparring situation for the first time and watch how they react. They won't have any timing to block real strikes and kicks, their attempts at counter measures will be off. I think Bruce Lee was one that stated "you must spar" kata is not enough.
</IMHO>

I agree, wrestling is a very powerful and effective style on the street. That is why I take it!
