What is cradle in wrestling?

In wrestling, a cradle is a move used to pin an opponent. The wrestler executing the cradle will wrap their arms around the opponent's head and one of their legs, effectively immobilizing the opponent. The wrestler will then shift their weight and roll their opponent onto their back, making it easier to pin them. There are various ways to perform a cradle, including the cross-face cradle, the power half cradle, and the Gable cradle. The cradle is a popular move in collegiate wrestling and is often taught to beginners as it can be effective against opponents who are not as experienced or skilled.
