What Is The Definition Of Hot Tag In Wrestling?
1. Hot tag is a term that is used only during tag team matches in professional wrestling. During a tag team match, when one wrestler is in the ring and is getting beaten to the point they are too far and too weak to tag for their teammate, they finally gather up enough strength to tag their partner who then comes in and takes on both opponents. The wrestler seems invincible and is able to beat both of his opponents with ease and looks to be the hero of the match. During this sequence, the wrestler who seems invincible usually ends up victorious.
The hot tag is meant to build up the intensity and drama. Usually, there have been many close attempts where a tag was to be made, only for something to occur that prevents the tag from initiating. Many times, the team who is dominating the one opponent is distracting the referee in some manner so that they are able to get in illegal hits on the opponent who is struggling.
