I've been babysitting some friends' kid and she loves bouncing on the bed. To keep her engaged, we've been adding modified WWE moves (based on my hazy memories of watching in a friend's basement a quarter century ago.)

For example, "people's elbow" she will listen for the crowd, double tap the elbow and fling herself down, or her "Nature Girl" (Ric Flair) she'll do a funny walk, give a big WOOO and fling herself down. She doesn't connect it to any violence and I like it that way. Anyway, I remember some wrestlers having extravagant warm ups or preludes to a move, any of those could be amazing.

Any suggestions, real or just fun, easy to remember/act routines would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Ha!

Though know Im thinking about it... Maybe a stone cold "and we crack our milks together" sorta thing.

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Followed by a Triple H spray into the air!

But maybe better done with juice boxes or just plain water, bc dispersed milk mist going rancid would be extra grody.

Oooh, good points especially as 95% of her wrestling is on her parents' bed...

When my kids were little we wrestled all the time. They loved getting picked up, spun around and fake piledrived!

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, she loves being picked up and thrown! About half of her wrestling moves end with "oh no, she's getting picked up by the feet! What is that maniac going to do to her? He's not going to throw her by the feet is he? No! Someone has to stop this OH NO THERE SHE GOOOOOOES!"

I've choke slammed my niece and nephew. They're at the age where they have enough arm strength to hold my arm coupled with me supporting them from the back/butt that there's no pressure on their neck. The most dangerous aspect is making sure they wait their damn turns. When I pick one up the other sees the newly freed up space and decides that's a much better spot to get my attention so I know they want to be thrown again...

The worm by Scotty too hotty?

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

My God, I want to see her try that! Thank you!

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know if they still make them, but I remember 'wrestling buddy' dolls. Basically a human shaped pillow about 75 cm that the kid could hit and the parent could push against the child.

I see they have them on Ebay and Amazon. Probably cheaper ones in stores near you

Never heard of that, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Also have some fuzzy memories of finishing moves from playing video games:

Mandible claw (Mr. Socko)

Torture Rack

Jacknife Power Bomb

Sweet chin music (stomps)

The Spear

Rock Bottom

F5

Attitude Adjustment

Ooooooooh, great list! I can definitely adapt some of these! "Watch out for the CLAW!"

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A Spanish fly is always a good move, maybe a Canadian destroyer or Meltzer driver if you got a friend.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Never heard of these, I'll take a look! Thanks!

A slow razors edge from a kneeling position could be fun
