A suplex is a wrestling move where one wrestler lifts their opponent off the ground and throws them backward, typically landing them on their back. This technique showcases strength and control, as the wrestler must balance their opponent's weight while executing the move. Suplexes are commonly used in professional wrestling, such as in promotions like WWE and AEW. There are various types of suplexes, including the German suplex, belly-to-belly suplex, and fisherman suplex. Each variation has its own unique mechanics and applications, allowing wrestlers to adapt the move to different situations in a match. Suplexes are often used to gain an advantage or to demonstrate athleticism.
