Skull breaker

The Skull Breaker!

The Skull Breaker is a professional wrestling move where a wrestler applies a modified armbar, targeting the opponent's elbow joint. It's a popular move used by many wrestlers, including WWE Superstars like Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles.

Here's a breakdown of the move:

  1. The wrestler starts by grabbing the opponent's arm, usually with their own arm wrapped around the opponent's elbow.
  2. They then lift the opponent's arm up and over their own head, creating a "skull-breaking" motion.
  3. As the opponent's arm is lifted, the wrestler applies pressure to the elbow joint, attempting to hyperextend it.
  4. The move is designed to cause pain and discomfort, potentially leading to a submission or a pin.

The Skull Breaker is considered a high-risk move, as it requires a good amount of strength, flexibility, and coordination to execute properly. If not done correctly, it can also lead to injury, especially if the opponent's elbow is not properly positioned.
