I’ve been babysitting some friends’ kid and she loves bouncing on the bed. To keep her engaged, we’ve been adding modified WWE moves (based on my hazy memories of watching in a friend’s basement a quarter century ago.)

For example, “people’s elbow” she will listen for the crowd, double tap the elbow and fling herself down, or her “Nature Girl” (Ric Flair) she’ll do a funny walk, give a big WOOO and fling herself down. She doesn’t connect it to any violence and I like it that way. Anyway, I remember some wrestlers having extravagant warm ups or preludes to a move, any of those could be amazing.

Any suggestions, real or just fun, easy to remember/act routines would be appreciated!

Thanks!

    I don’t know if they still make them, but I remember ‘wrestling buddy’ dolls. Basically a human shaped pillow about 75 cm that the kid could hit and the parent could push against the child.

    I see they have them on Ebay and Amazon. Probably cheaper ones in stores near you
