Pictionary of Wrestling Holds
Fireman's Carry


Personal definition:

I like to call this the opposite of a torture rack. Instead of bending back, the opponent is bending over.
Big Book of Wrestling Moves definition: Fireman's Carry
Description : The attacker lifts the victim up so they are laying stomach first across the attacker's shoulders (a standing fireman's carry).
Wiki definition: The wrestler would bend over with the opponent standing to the side of the wrestler. The wrestler then pulls the opponent's arm over his/her farthest shoulder and distributes the wrestler's body over his/her shoulders while having the other hand between and holding onto one of the opponent's legs and stands up. The opponent is draped face-down across the wrestler's shoulders, with the wrestler's arms wrapped around from behind. It is a key component of several throws, drops and slams.
