WHAT DOES PINFALL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pinfall

Pin (professional wrestling)

A pinfall or pin is a victory condition in various forms of professional wrestling that is met by holding an opponent's shoulders on the wrestling mat for a prescribed period of time. In professional wrestling, a pinfall is a common method of winning a match and typically must be held for a count of three by the referee. The purpose of a pinning maneuver is to hold the opponent's shoulders against the mat for a count of three. The count is broken if the opponent manages to raise one or both of his shoulders off of the mat, commonly by kicking out. In some positions, a wrestler may bridge to put more of their weight on the pinned opponent or to prop themselves up from being pinned. Sometimes, an attacking wrestler may hook the opponent's tights for extra leverage. Another popular illegal tactic of heel wrestlers is to attempt a pin close to the ring ropes so they can prop their legs up on the ropes to gain additional leverage, putting more weight on the opponent.
