A crooked arm lariat is a move in which one wrestler runs towards their opponent and strikes them by extending their arm straight out and at a 60 to 90 degree angle and moving it forward against their head or neck area.
This move is distinguishable from a lariat because a lariat involves a strike with a straight arm.
Hulk Hogan is often credited as the innovator of the move.
