Gallery 731 Hung in a Tree
	The "Tree of Woe" is when a wrestler is hung upside down over the corner buckles, one or both of his legs wrapped tightly around the turn-buckle supports to keep him locked in.
	A wrestler in this position is very helpless and vulnerable.  Because he is inverted and his legs are trapped, his opponent can punch, kick, bitch-slap, or claw him.  Or even pull his hair!
	Here is a big stud just hanging there waiting for the opponent to abuse him.  You would think most wrestlers in this position could untangle their legs and escape, but they never do.  At least not at first.
This kid planned to wear a black shirt to cover his belly.  But the opponent hangs him in the Tree of Woe, exposing his belly-welly.  The dudes at ringside think his humiliation is funny.
I guess if this wrestler insists on wearing pants in the ring, at least he wore fancy white pants.  His opponent is going to split those tight jeans by hanging the stud up like an ornament on the Christmas tree.
	Lex Lugar grips young Kendall Windham by the crotch and holds him upside down.  He's either going to spike this kid's lower back on the turnbuckles, or trap his leg over the ropes in the dreaded Tree of Woe.
	Here are the Naturals, Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens, from TNA Wrestling.  What's going on, Is Douglas kicking his own helpless partner in the face??
I wonder when this great hold was invented??  Here is a picture from the Golden Age showing Mr. Wrestling trapped in the humiliating Tree of Woe position as his opponent prepares to kick his soft stomach.
Here is another beefy hunk caught in the Tree.  He hangs one leg over the top rope and gives the fans a nice view of his crotch by hooking his other leg under the bottom rope.
The ref stops the opponent from attacking the helpless man.  At least refs inforced the rules back then!  Now wrestlers are permitted to blatantly attack a man in the Tree of Woe.
	The Patriot shows us an interesting variation of the Tree of Woe as he hangs outside the ropes rather than in front of the turnbuckle pads.  His opponent can still run up and boot him in that gut.
	These wrestlers both decided to wear red and black gear for their brutal match.  The punk hanging in the Tree of Woe even dyed his hair red and black to match his wrestling gear!
The Tree of Woe is named after a scene in Conan the Barbarian where James Earl Jones (aka Thulsa Doom) says to the governor: "That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe. Crucify him!" Then Conan wakes up tied to a tree and I think kills a vulture, then his Tag Team partner runs up and rescues him.
I wonder what this classic pro wrestler is contemplating on the Tree of Woe.  He's probably wondering whether the fans are checking out that bulge in his wrestling trunks, which is exposed when a wrestler hangs in this position.
	This muscular wrestler sports some shiny blue pants and coated his smooth body with some oil to enhance his physique.  I'll be he'd look great hanging in the Tree of Woe!
	Sure enough, his body looks even more ripped when stretched out in the Tree.  Whoever he is wrestling against can take his time punishing that helpless body, hanging like a side of beef at the butcher shop.
