Jason grimaces in pain as Chalupa crushes his ribs in a reverse bearhug on the mat. With Jason’s arms trapped in the bearhug, he’s trapped and can only withstand the pain until the pressure lets up a bit.

Vintage private bout match from BG East. The alpha lifts his victim off the ground in a rear bearhug.

The veins in Kyle’s biceps pop as he works to break Zman’s crushing bearhug grip.

Chase (aka Chace LaChance) loves putting Steel’s muscles on display, and his first instinct is to get behind Steel (aka Joey Sullivan aka Daniel Carter) and tie him up. He catches Steel several times in a full nelson (check out this post https://wrestlingsubmission.tumblr.com/post/178114881559/chase-loves-showing-off-steels-muscles-and), giving Steel the opportunity to flex hard to escape.
In this series of photos, Chase goes for a reverse (rear) bearhug to crush Steel’s ribs, as well as a chicken wing / double armbar that shows off Steel’s rock hard six-pack.

Rex keeps the crushing pressure on Viggo – THUNDER’S ARENA
Great bearhug sequence from Rex crushing Viggo. Both Rex and Viggo have a mean scissors too, would be great if Thunders did a scissor battle with them.

Cason lays in on Mack with a rear bearhug. Then Mack returns the favor.

Alex Waters takes full advantage of the ring to tie up Tyson Matthews in a full nelson – ”it feels like a massage,” taunts Tyson while he moans in pain – releases the hold, only to lift up Tyson in a sick reverse bearhug that even ties up Tyson’s arms as he clenches tightly.

I know this isn’t a submission match, but I wanna hear you submit anyway, embarrass you in front of this crowd. I think this gutwrenching bearhug should do the trick.

“Is that it? Can’t you squeeze any tighter?”
“Don’t worry bud, we’re not even halfway there. This is just a gentle embrace. You’ll be giving up before you know it.”
(From the now-defunct CAL Wrestling company, video W118. With apologies in advance for the unfortunate flag in the frame. Could never figure out why the CAL had this in their matroom.)

Flash goes for a double squeeze – the rear bearhug / bodyscissor combo! Wrapping his legs around Dave’s torso and his arms further up near his chest. Don’t see this hold too much.
