Here are the rest of the illegal moves you should have an understanding of. Remember for an more in depth explanation you should check out Wikipedia. I bring you just the bare essentials.
Fireball
The wrestler sets a piece of quick-burning paper (flash paper) alight and throws it at the opponent, giving the impression of a supernatural ball of fire emerging from their hand. The Sheik is credited as the first man to throw fire in wrestling.
Hangman
Seen when a wrestler who is on the opposite side of the ring ropes from an opponent grabs him by the head and drops down, forcing the opponent’s throat across the ropes. This is an illegal attack because of its use of the rope.
Low blow
A direct shot to the groin of an opponent; otherwise known as a groin attack. It is an offense punishable by disqualification. This illegal attack is mainly used by heel wrestlers or valets to gain the upper hand on their male opponents. Although kicking an opponent in the groin is the most obvious method, the most popular version sees an attacking wrestler drop to their knees and raise their arm up between the opponent's legs, striking the groin with the inside of their elbow-joint. Often wrestlers will perform the strike while the referee is in some way distracted in what is known as a "cheap shot".
