About
My Waifu's Favorite Hold (Japanese: 嫁の必殺技, Yome no hissatsu waza), previously called as "My Waifu's Atomic Suplex Hold" (嫁の原爆固め, Yome no genbaku gatame), refers to a series of illustrations of German Suplex Hold[1] by Waifu. It was one of the successful illustration response projects on the Japanese illustrators community pixiv in 2009.
Origin
This pixiv's project, which means user-generated events of drawing in a same theme, was proposed by a Japanese illustrator/doujin mangaka Saiga[2] on February 26th, 2009.[3] This project, called as "My Waifu's Atomic Suplex Hold", was a simple & easy illustration response project of just tracing a template image prepared by the inventor.
Prior to this pixiv project, a hand-drawn animated video meme featuring German Suplex, Spitting while Kissing, occurred on the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND) in November 2008. However, it seems there are no direct relationships between them.
Background: Pro-wrestling Moves in Japanese Pop Culture
In Japan, pro-wrestling was one of the national pastimes during the period of rapid economic growth from 1950s to 1980s. In particular, since the early days of Japanese pro-wrestling was deeply influenced by a Belgian wrestler Karl Gotch[4], known as an alias "God of Wrestling" in Japan, and he coached many subsequent pro-wrestlers, his favorite "German Suplex", originally introduced as "Atomic Bomb Suplex Hold" in Japan, is one of the representative moves in the good old days of the exciting fighting entertainment as well as "Karate Chop" by Rikidōzan[5], "Iron Claw" by Fritz Von Erich[6], "Abdominal Stretch" by Giant Baba[7] and "Octopus Hold" by Antonio Inoki.[8]
Besides, under the circumstances of the Japanese pop culture which allows casual violence in entertainments, these well-known pro-wrestling moves have been occasionally used as a punchline in comedy skits, mangas, particularly gag stripes, and animes. So, many Japanese people are familiar to pro-wrestling moves through the media, and hence this suplex hold known for its dynamic move and beautiful arc at finish is often used for lulz.

Spread
Partly due to its quite convenient editing style, this project succeeded to quickly gather many illustration responses from female users who are fond of this kind of trace-type fads. Its amount had increased into 100 within its first month, and reached to 550 in its first year. Moreover, it has been still increasing gradually even after the template was removed by the creator.[9] In addition to this, dozens of "German Suplex" illustrations which refer to this pixiv's project are found on deviantART.[10]

Why does THIS one have an entry and not the Double-Nelson?!
To the Deathpool!
Need more pics and grammar check here.
@Laser Pacer: Added some pics and videos.
…….and is this an INTERNET meme?
Check out this search results in pixiv
Most of images Drpepperfan posted are originally posted to pixiv.
And this is not a meme, fad or something notable even in there because they draw these image just for fun.
There is no background and episode for them.
Even if you like this, there are no topics we should describe on here KYM.
How is this a meme?
A meme (/ˈmiːm/; meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme) there is the definition of meme, You're welecome. Are we really going to get into the whole this isn't a meme because it isn't like the kind I'm used thing? If people want to call it a meme let them, these this isn't even a meme comments are starting to annoying me so please just hold your tongue. Besides if you didn't think it was a meme why are you here? Why did you even bother to comment? I don't mean to incredibly disrespectful, but I just want to put out the whole why do why have judge everything statement. Thank you.
You're a year and a half late there, pal.

what??? let see im a big wrestling fan but besides the images i think i would rather see some famous wrestling quotes like
Booker T: ''we coming for you nig·%&a''or the iron sheik: ''facking bullsh$%t''
i think that could be very good wrestling memes if you ask me besides there is a lot of much more famous wrestling quotes that could be good material
ah btw you forgot to post ponys in the images yes nothing here survives whitouth ponys but i think even whit them this is gonna be deadpool it dosent make sense at all sorry man check out my other comment
I don't think you quite grasp the meaning of a meme.
No pony pictures?
We need to fix this
Uhh. I'm sorry, I get what a German Suplex is, and I see the pictures in the images area, but I'm still confused as to why this might be a meme. Is it an image trend of some sort, where a bunch of people just started drawing characters suplexing each other, or is it a specific in joke, like, "This was a cool moment in this show, so I'm going to pay tribute to/parody it by making an image"
This is more of an Anime-realm joke: the idea is that when someone doesn't get something, then says something ridiculously idiotic, or plays a prank on someone who already knows about it beforehand, this is commonly used to express "you're an idiot".
whose responsible this?
+1 confirm
Not a meme.
+1 deadpool!

Rewriting has finished. This entry's theme has changed into pixiv's illustration fad. If you think KYM must describe about all pro-wrestling moves in each, please make a new entry.
