4. Chaos Theory

Hand over heart, this is my favourite variation of the suplex. I’m not too sure who created it but the move is most associated with British wrestling machine Doug Williams. It combines everything that makes the suplex such a gorgeous and devastating move. It requires skill, finesse, power and a whole lot more.

The end result is usually a bridging German, but what happens beforehand is almost wrestling poetry. Williams would grab his opponent in a waist lock and run them into the turnbuckle, before rolling back through all the way into what almost becomes a deadlift German. When done well, the move is as smooth as any in professional wrestling. It also manages to be complex without looking contrived; the victim can do little about it other than get caught up in Doug’s momentum. The Chaos Theory is a true thing of wrestling beauty.
