chokeslams

Throat-grip power moves

Chokeslams is the plural of chokeslam, a professional wrestling move in which a wrestler grabs an opponent by the throat, lifts them into the air, and slams them onto the mat.

The move became iconic through performers like The Undertaker and Kane, who used it as a signature finishing maneuver.
