How well do you know the wrestling moves we see on television every week?

That's a loaded question, because most fans can see the distinction between a basic Suplex and a Piledriver when it happens, but not everybody could decipher exactly which variation of those classic moves wrestlers are using. That's where this handy quiz comes in.

There are 20 moves here, and all the answers are multiple choice. There's no real trickery outside of some made-up names, so it's up to you to decide which ones are too silly to be real and which are the genuine article. Expect to see aerial dives, submission holds, power moves, pinning combinations, double team tag work and more.

A few of the questions rely on your knowledge of individual signatures too. For example, you'll need to know what the likes of Kofi Kingston, Kevin Owens and Jeff Hardy have called their go-to weapons.

See how many you can get, and study the attached .GIF for each one before answering. If you get a perfect score, then you're basically the second coming of Dean Malenko's man/woman of "1000 holds"...

Answers at the end!
