Wrestling’s Finest Kyle Snyder, Jordan Burroughs, and Others Share Their Inescapable Wrestling Maneuvers

USA Wrestling had a phenomenal year in 2023 as its wrestlers bagged several international medals throughout the year. The 2023 World Championships also paid off very well as the US secured four gold medals out of 14 total medals. As the year comes to an end, Jordan Burroughs and many other US wrestlers have a special treat for their fans.

American wrestlers have always dominated international mats because of their grasp of the finer details behind wrestling moves and techniques. Interestingly, a new social media post showcases the special moves of all these wrestlers. In fact, World Champions Amit Elor, Kyle Snyder, and Zain Retherford also joined Jordan Burroughs in displaying their trump cards.

Jordan Burroughs has every scenario predicted in his head

Wrestling gear giant Rudis posted a series of videos on its official Instagram page where different US wrestlers explained how their moves work. Headlining the post, 6x World Champ Jordan Burroughs showcased his move called ‘The Elevator’. The move is specially designed to fight from the bottom position and turn the tables on one’s opponent.

The move requires one to place their outside foot inside their opponent’s hip. Following this, one must sit up and pressurize the opponent with their back, while covering them to counter their next movement. Jordan Burroughs talked about the possible scenarios that may play out after this, but he had a maneuver ready for everything. This was also visible in the techniques of other wrestlers who were ready with counterattacks if their opponents tried to break loose.

3x World Champ Kyle Snyder was also featured in the post showcasing his move called ‘Front headlock underhook to knee pick’. The move pulls the rival competitor’s head to the mat with a snap, giving a high offensive advantage. Interestingly, younger wrestlers like Amit Elor also perfectly matched the level of Jordan Burroughs and Kyle Snyder.

The young ones and their inescapable maneuvers

America’s breakout 2x world champ and 6x age category world champ Amit Elor displayed a technique called ‘Two on one snap down to go behind’. The 19-year-old who may surpass Jordan Burroughs in the future showed how her highly offensive technique left little to no chance for escape. 

Complementing Elor’s dominance was Zain Retherford, who won his first world championship this year. Iowa Hawkeyes star and 3x NCAA champ Spencer Lee also displayed his flair alongside the world champions. Lee recently made headlines for qualifying for the Olympic trials twice right after his comeback from a bad injury.
