Wrestler's trick?

Hi

(Are you fond of WWE?)

Is there any name (noun) for a wrestler's (special) trick which gives him an edge over his opponent at least for a little while? It can be the holding of arms or lifting the opponent over the shoulders, etc.

Thanks,

Tom

"Roping" (using the ropes). A wrestler illegally hooks his arm or leg over the ropes, or holds onto the ropes with a hand, in order to gain leverage over his opponent.
