=== Rope-hung Boston crab === [[File:WWE Dil-Emma (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|[[Tenille Dashwood|Emma]] applying the ''Dil-Emma'' (rope-hung Boston crab) on [[Summer Rae]]]] This move, also known as the ''Tarantula'' in reference to [[Yoshihiro Tajiri]]'s naming of the move, involves a wrestler hooking each of an opponent's legs in one of their arms and draping the opponent over the top rope. At this point the wrestler hooks the arms of the opponent with their legs, securing the hold. As this move involves the use of the ropes, and allows the opponent to touch the ropes (which forces a wrestler to break a submission hold), this hold must usually be broken before the referee completes a five-count. Otherwise, the wrestler will be [[professional wrestling#Disqualification|disqualified]]. This is the reason why it is best used during [[professional wrestling match types#No Disqualification match/No Holds Barred match|no disqualification matches]] or [["I Quit" match]]es.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/15-wrestling-moves-that-really-exist/page-9|title=What a manoeuvre! 15 moves that really exist|date=2012-11-30|access-date=2014-03-13|publisher=WWE}}</ref>
