Merian C. Cooper had been a wrestler as a youth, and Willis H. O'Brien had had several amateur boxing matches. This experience is evident in Kong's fight with the T-Rex. Kong puts his left paw up to guard his face, as a boxer would do, as he hits the T-Rex with a right cross. Kong also uses the well-known wrestling moves "trip-out" and "snap mare" during the fight. Kong finally wins by climbing on the T-Rex's shoulders and pulling its jaws apart. This move would later be popularized as the "Rocca Ride" by professional wrestler Angelino Rocca in the 1940s.
