Clothesline


A move in which one wrestler runs towards another and extends his/her arm out from the side of the body and parallel to the ground, knocking over the other as he/she runs by.[1] This move is often confused with a lariat.

Cactus clothesline
A clothesline used by Mick Foley that is named after his "Cactus Jack" gimmick.[3] The attacking wrestler charges at an opponent who is against the ring ropes and clotheslines him/her, and the force and momentum from the charge knocks both the wrestler and the opponent over the top rope and onto the floor.[4]

Clothesline from Hell
A clothesline used by JBL, named while he was working as one half of The Acolytes. The attacking wrestler gets a running start (usually off the ropes) first before hitting a high-impact clothesline, in which he swings his arm forward while running toward his opponent.

Corner clothesline
A clothesline used by a wrestler where instead of knocking a standing opponent, the attacker charges against an opponent on the corner.

Flying clothesline
While running towards an opponent, an attacking wrestler leaps up into the air, before connecting with a clothesline. Another version sees an attacking wrestler leap up into the air and connecting with a clothesline onto an opponent leaning against the corner turnbuckle.

Short-arm clothesline
Also known as a short clothesline or short-range clothesline, this variation is set up by Irish-whipping the opponent, but holding onto the arm. When the held arm is completely extended, the wrestler pulls the opponent back and clotheslines him with the other arm.[1] Alternatively, this move can be performed in the same fashion, but following an Arm wrench or Wrist lock instead of an Irish whip, or by simply grabbing hold of one of the opponent's arms with one the attacker's hands, pulling it towards the wrestler and clotheslining him with his spare arm.

Three-point stance clothesline
Also known as charging clothesline. In this move, a wrestler uses three-point stance and then clotheslines his opponent. This move was invented and popularized by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan who calls it Patriot Lariat.

Double clothesline
Two wrestlers both hitting a clothesline on a single opponent by joining hands is referred to as a double clothesline. A variation has both wrestlers charging from opposite sides of a single opponent with a clothesline.
A double clothesline can also refer to two clotheslines being performed by one wrestler on two opponents at the same time.

Don't try this if you're not professionally trained and remember that even a pro can get injured or can seriously injure an opponent with this move.

I didn't find pro wrestling...I guess you could say pro wrestling found me.


My earliest memories of wrestling are actually kind of silly. I remember my parents dropping me off
at my grandma's (who was completely deaf) when I was little and she would be watching guys like
the Junkyard Dog and Hulk Hogan and would get exited and shout at the TV. I remember asking one
of my older cousins to do my makeup "like the mean wrester ladies" I had seen on television. I
also remember seeing Captain Lou Albano in Cyndi Lauper's "girls just wanna have fun" video.

Eventually I got older and floated on to other things. I was always kind of a tomboy and most of my friends were boys so I usually played sports and played outside rather than do girly stuff. In high school I watched wrestling on and off, but never ever EVER thought in my wildest dreams I'd be doing it someday.

I moved out to California in 2000 soon after graduating high school, because I felt like bigger things were waiting for me compared to the rural town I'm from. I had always been a bit of an outside thinker and I wasn't exactly content with the idea of settling with the things I saw my friends around me settling for. I wanted to do something bold. I miss my friends and family, but still feel like I made the right decision.

Eventually I landed a job managing a good friend's comic shop. I had always loved comics so this job
suited me quite well. Eventually I started meeting people and through coincidence met some people
who happened to be wrestlers. The rest is history.

I remember going to my first so-cal indy show to watch a friend wrestle. I was impressed with the athletic aspect of it and I also loved the fact that it was so colorful. The wrestlers reminded me of something straight from a comic....a bunch of guys in colorful spandex, fighting it out and occasionally putting aside differences for the greater good, I guess you could say. I wanted to try it..but I was discouraged and felt kind of silly for asking mainly because I am small in size and a woman..and I didn't see any other girls there at the time.

After venturing out to different shows I started to notice that there were indeed some female wrestlers...and most of them were about the same size as I was! Maybe it was something I could do after all.

My friends Johnny and Chris (Joey Dynamite) had a ring set up in their backyard. One night Chris mentioned that he and a few other people trained a little there on the weekends if I ever wanted to come down and give it
a try. So I did.

Wrestling turned out to be a lot harder than it looked! And it damn sure wasn't fake! I got discouraged at first because I was having a hard time with the most basic things and remembering stuff. We lost the ring for a bit and couldn't train for a while...but eventually it got set up again.

One day I showed up to the house and there were a bunch of new faces there, along with some pros I had seen regularly on different shows. I was a little intimidated...but it turned out they were opening a school and looking for people to join. Should I try it again? Could I handle it? I decided to give it another go.

After the first day I was incredibly sore. I don't think I had ever been that sore in my entire life. Push-ups, squats, running, jumping, learning to bump, taking slams, etc. This was hard! And it hurt! I got frustrated easy and it took me longer to learn things...but something was telling me not to give up. I hung in there and did the best I could.

Eventually I became the only female at Santino's for a while. The class was getting more advanced. We were training in the hot summer sun. On top of that, on certain days I also had to deal with my "lady issues".I was finding it hard to be confident because I felt like the odds were against me. Later on I found out some of the guys didn't think I was going to last at first. I went home beat up, sore, and bruised every week. SometimesI went home crying from the physical and mental stress. But something kept pulling me back to the class every week. I was determined to continue what I had started...plus all stress and pain aside, I was having fun!

Over a year later and here I am, still continuing my training and even starting to do shows!...and I feel like I've come such a long way considering I could barely do a lock-up when I first started. I've learned so much. I've found my confidence and I'm starting to feel good about what I do. I'm doing things that I never thought I was capable of. I still have a a lot to learn and I have my limitations, but I'm getting better all the time. Wrestling oddly enough,is also very theraputic for me. It has taught me confidence, self-dicipline, and how to work with others. It has also helped me to deal withmy anxiety problems, which I've had my entire life. I may not be the the biggest, or the strongest, or the fastest, but I just want to be the best that I can be. That's my goal...also, someday maybe I can teach what I've learned to other girls.

So you want to be a Pro Wrestler. Go to Pro Wrestling School.














Are you a professional wrestler? Or are you a pencil neck geek? Far too often people consider professional wrestling FAKE. In 1976 Mike Graham introduced Hulk Hogan to Hiro Matsuda,who was among the sport's top trainers, and considered one of the toughest wrestlers in the world. According to Hogan, during their first training session, Matsuda sarcastically asked him, "So you want to be a wrestler?" Hogan said "Yes!" then Matsuda purposely broke Hogan's leg. Obviously Hiro Matsuda did'nt break Hulk Hogan's SPIRIT. That did'nt stop the HULK from becoming one of, if not THE, greatest icons in Professional Wrestling history.


The road to becoming a professional wrestler is hard. This is a tough career. It is a road paved with doubt, fatigue, and sacrifice, both mentally and physically. But just as the negatives are tough, the rewards are great....the greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward. The roar of the crowd, the camaraderie of the boys, the memories, the ability to make people laugh, to make people cry and to really touch their hearts. Along with the obvious, traveling the world, meeting and wrestling the great ones, gaining a fan base, making the big paydays, and becoming WORLD CHAMPION.


To be the Man you have to beat the Man! So says the 16 time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair. According to Flair's autobiography, "..the best matches are called in the ring and on the fly, not laid out on paper." This ability to call it in the ring and on the fly is one of the reason's Ric Flair is the best at what he does and is so well respected. He not only knows all the moves, but is a pro wrestlers perfect opponent. To be able to "wing it" or do it without "practice" shows that you are a true pro wrestler, not just a show guy.


You have to be prepared for whatever is thrown your way, whether it be a cocky veteran who likes to tear into green boys or a green boy who does'nt no shit who needs you to carry the match.

Santino Bros Wrestling Academy has earned the notorious reputation for really bringing the pain! We are hard hitting, fast paced and in your face! Only the strong survive here at the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy, it's not for the weak, the faint of heart, the timid or the cowardly.......


The Santino Bros Wrestling Academy has a raw passion for the spirit of professional wrestling, it is in our blood, it is in our hearts, it consumes our soul. At Santino Bros Wrestling Academy, we are in it to win it and so should you. To be the man, you have to be prepared and to be prepared is your key to success.

Train to become a Pro Wrestler, go to Pro Wrestling School.









Why I Became A Pro Wrestler






I became a pro wrestler because I believe pro wrestling is the greatest sport on earth. I've been a wrestling fan since I could remember what a t.v was. I remember watching guys like Hillbilly Jim and Capt. Lou Albano in black and white. I was no older than 2-3 years old. Since that time I've grown to a young handsome 23 year old sensation named Famous B. The road was definitely a rough rugged bumpy one to say the least but during all my ups and downs pro wrestling has been there through it all. I can remember me and my brother R.I.P Michael Holly when we were kids we would create games to play based off wrestling. My mom would buy us the cheap swapmeet toy wrestling rings and action figures of all sorts and they all became wrestlers. G.I Joe was my favorite so I put him over alot. We would set all our action figures up in the ring and pick a action figure a piece. We went to the other side of the room and launched our toys towards the ring and knock all the action figures down and out the ring. When there was no more action figures in the ring we launched our toys towards the ring again and the first one to land his in the ring by itself was the winner. We called that the Royal Rumble.

I was very competitive in school whether physically during sports activities or in the classroom. I attended Orville Wright Middle School and Westchester High School both located in Westchester, Ca. In high school I played basketball which was fun for me. It was then I learned how to be a team player, how to follow instructions, and playing in front of a crowd. Unfortunately my school didn't have a wrestling team so basketball filled that void.

I had never been to a pro wrestling show when I was young or was able to see the pay per views so when I was old enough to work make money and my own decisions I ordered every pay per view and went to every WWE show that came to southern California. At one of those shows I got a flyer that read: Train to be a pro wrestler at Santino Bros.Wrestling Academy! I kept it around the house and contemplated it for weeks before I decided to call. I was invited down to orientation and there I met Kaos, Mongol, Supreme, Angel, Robbie, B.C Killer, Jezebel, Joey Dynamite, and the students at the time as well as others. I didn't know what to expect I just knew I'd been watching wrestling my whole life so I was familiar with the moves and I knew we were going to work out that was it. We started with stretches and then we ran through push ups, squats, and some other drills that were extremely tiring. I learned rolls that day also and did some shoot fighting. My very first day of training March 8th 2008 and I must have vomitted 5 times that day but I was proud I lasted to the end and I couldn't wait for the next week.

A year later and I am so proud of myself for sticking through my training and becoming a pro wrestler a sport I have a tremendous passion for. Santino Bros.Wrestling Academy definitely changed my life in a major way. They took me from someone who enjoys watching wrestling to someone who enjoys wrestling. Im very estatic to start my career and be one of them guys kids look up too the same way I did which made me love this sport in the first place. I recommend anyone who wants to become a pro wrestler to follow their dreams and make them a reality.
