What is "suplex"

n. A wrestling move in which the wrestler picks up his or her opponent off the ground (or mat) and then, using a large portion of his or her own body weight, drives the opponent down on the mat by throwing them over their center of gravity, usually arching their back.

A suplex is an offensive move used in both professional (choreographed/scripted) and amateur wrestling (unscripted). A suplex is a throw that involves lifting the opponent and bridging or rolling to slam the opponent on their back. Though there are many variations, the term suplex (without qualifiers) can also refer specifically to the vertical suplex.
