Wrestling Moves in No More Heroes are a gameplay feature and one of Travis Touchdown's renowned skills. They are learned as a result of both Travis's experience to become a pro wrestler and since wrestling is a favorite hobby of his. They allow Travis to easily take down and subdue the enemy, allowing an easy Down Attack, or they can be utilized as a instant kill. While they can be used on regular enemies, which is an option, they are more effective on ranked assassins, as they deliver more damage than slash combos.

As of Desperate Struggle, wrestling throws activate the Dark Side Mode mechanic.

Wrestling moves are performed when an enemy has been stunned by Beat Attacks or consecutive Beam Katana combos, and following in with the Beat Attack button. The screen will then prompt the player to move the Nunchaku and Wii Remote in various directions, and if successful, Travis will perform the move. Some moves require two moves or more advanced procedures.
