Now here comes a list of lucha libre moves:
- Plancha:
- [iron board] A move where you splash your
opponent, eg. a flying cross bodypress, an ordinary splash etc.
- Tope:
- Headbutt, about every move where you use
your head to hurt the opponent.
- Suicida:
- This ajective is usually used for move
that you perform to the outside of the ring. Like a tope suicida,
the luchador nails his a opponent as he flies through the second and
third rope into his opponent who is on the outside of the ring, head
first.
- Tornillo:
- [screw] Move "invented" by Hector Garza, a
plancha with a full twist around his axis from the top turnbuckle to
the outside of the ring.
- Rana:
- [frog] A pinning position in which you
hold the opponents shoulders on the mat using your legs, and
blocking his legs with your arms (sounds complicated, but it's
something like the ending position of a sunset flip, or a victory
roll).
- Hurac�n rana:
- Move invented by Huracan Ramirez and made
popular by Rey Misterio Jr. (in the States). It's the pin position
you get in after a headscissor takedown (getting into a rana in
Huracan's way). A flying headscissor that doesn't end in a "rana"-pin,
is not a Hurac�n rana, but a victory roll for instance is.
- Cent�n:
- [blanket] Splashing your opponent with
your back, eg Steve Regal's "Royal Roll" is technically a somersault
cent�n, and Psicosis uses the Flying Cent�n as his finishing move (TNM
calls it a senton).
- Guillotina:
- Leg drop, no more, no less.
- Espanos Planes:
- [flat on his back] A pin position that is
not a rana (I can't make more of it).
- Jaula:
- Cage.
- Parejas Incre�bles:
- Incredible pairings, heels teaming up with
faces.
