10 Best Wrestling Suplex Variations

There aren’t many suplexes that are as synonymous with a single individual as the Fisherman Suplex, or the Perfect Plex as we’re all more likely to refer to it as. ‘Mr Perfect’ Curt Hennig used this as his finisher throughout his career, and during his initial run in WWF it was one of the most protected moves in the company. If Hennig hit it, chances are the match was over.

There is an undeniable elegance to the move. It also has the simpler name of the leg hook suplex, which describes it fairly correctly. The poor, poor loser is held in a front facelock position. The near leg is then hooked behind the victim’s knee, before flipping them over and 10 times out of 10 holding the move in a bridge position for a pin. Extra points for keeping the fingers locked of course. A rare moment of grace in a particularly vicious genre of wrestling moves.
