How to Wrestle a Gator

A how-to guide to gator wrestling

YOU WON'T SEE any body slams or full nelsons from professional gator wrestlers-and no gator gets harmed during the shows. Tim Williams, known as the Dean of Gator Wrestling at Orlando's Gatorland (www.gatorland.com), breaks down his moves:

1 Sit on the gator and hold its mouth shut.

2 Pull the mouth open and show the teeth.

3 Place the gator's chin under your chin and hold it shut.

4 Roll the gator on its back to put it to sleep.
