LTSWR GIF: Danny ensnares Jeff

When Danny Shaydak wrestled Mark Lander, he struggled to get any lasting hold — as was true for almost everyone who wrestled Mark. But Danny fares better wrestling Mark’s brother Jeff Lander, in this GIF ensnaring Jeff and holding him tight in a full nelson/bodyscissor combo.

This is a pretty great video from the sadly defunct Let’s Wrestle, so I’ll try to share more from it in the future.

You trying to bridge out? That ain’t gonna work. I got this locked in. Take the pain or tap out, those are your two choices.

Scream for me, bitch. Scream for me and I might let you go.

Blayne is lean and shredded but has taken his fair share of punishment. Now he’s got Eagle (aka Quinn Biddle) in a predicament, and he’s getting cocky in the ring!

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.

A Christmas classic full nelson

Here’s a blast from the past for the Christmas holiday! The fight between Iceman and Zman from Thunders Arena’s Christmas Chaos video from 2007.

While Angel is knocked out in the corner dressed up like a Christmas tree, Iceman gets to work on Zman, wrapping up the musclehunk in a full nelson/bodyscissor combo hold. Iceman is taking a risk with the scissor, especially in this configuration where Zman could apply a leg lock and put Iceman in a lot of pain. Maybe Iceman figured Zman was too much of a pretty boy to know how to escape… in this case, he was right, Zman missed the opportunity.

Happy holidays to you, and thanks for following the blog!

Starting a headlock in a pro match. Better crank that tighter if you want him to submit!

This scene capture from a pro wrestling match almost looks like a sculpture or statute you might find in an ancient Greek or Roman temple.

Headscissor in a comic strip

A comic strip headscissor! The artist depicts a pro wrestling headscissor in the ring — the most humiliating variety of headscissor, with the weakling’s face shoved in the alpha’s crotch — complete with an audience and trash talk. Please write me a note if you have any information on the artist, or a website that I can link to help bring attention to their work. They did a fantastic job.
