How to Do a Fame Asser in Professional Wrestling
The Fame Asser, a signature move of professional wrestler Billy Gunn, is a typical professional wrestling move that involves a combination of several techniques--which could be dangerous for you to try at home.

1
Watch footage of wrestlers who use the Fame Asser, like Billy Gunn and Marty Jannetty, to understand the mechanics of the move and the techniques in it. If you've only ever seen the move done in the context of a video game, try to get hold of some actual footage to see how the move is played out by real people.

2
Stand facing your opponent. If the Fame Asser were done in real time, both wrestlers would likely be moving, and you may be coming out of a previous technique. To set up for this one, you need some space between you and your opponent.

3
Kick your opponent in the stomach. If you're practicing this move with a friend, let your friend know what techniques you are going to do so that he can prepare.

Turn and run away to either side of your opponent to bounce off the ropes and come back. Since most people don't have a boxing or wrestling ring handy, you may need to improvise ropes to bounce off of, using a fence, a wall, a bed or some other long, relatively even surface.

Jump up and use your momentum to get 1 leg behind your opponent's neck and shoulders. Bring your leg down as you fall to pull your opponent down on his face. As you fall, avoid injury by trying to land evenly and refraining from reaching out with your arm.

Tips & Warnings
Wrestling moves, especially those targeting the head and neck, can be very dangerous for casual use. Make sure you do this move with a willing opponent who is prepared to handle the force of your techniques and knows how to safely fall. Also avoid directly striking the head or the neck, instead using the shoulders for impact.
