Wrestling Move Name Generator

A finisher is the one move that ends matches, so its name carries the most weight. Every other move in a wrestler's arsenal, from a signature lariat to a transitional suplex, is just a move, and those tend to have either their technical name or a lighter signature name. This generator covers the whole moveset; for finisher-specific ideas, see the wrestling finisher name generator linked below.

The first part of the list consists of real, widely used move types such as the Tiger Driver, Northern Lights Suplex, Texas Cloverleaf and Shining Wizard, which you can look up and learn the mechanics of. The remainder are original signature names we wrote for custom characters; attach them to any real move type that fits your wrestler.

Yes, that is exactly what they are for. Create-a-moveset screens usually list moves by their technical name, so use the glossary entries to find the animation you want, then enter the signature name in the custom move name or entrance fields where the game allows it. Short names display best on the in-game graphics.

Submissions are usually named for what they do to the opponent or for the wrestler's home turf: the Thames Lock, the Arctic Circle Clutch or the Coyote Clutch all follow that pattern. Words like lock, clutch, stretch, rack and vise signal a hold, so ending your name with one of them tells the audience it is a submission before it is applied.
