Gallery 752 Rope A Dope
	"Superstar" Billy Graham loved to gain the advantage over his opponents by wrapping a rope around their throats to strangle them, as he is doing to poor Wahoo McDaniel.
	Here is Superstar Graham later in his career, after he shaved his head.  His fetish for choking continues as the wraps a rope around cute beefy Wayne Sawyer's throat.
	Graham always enjoyed wrestling with Dusty Rhodes because Rhodes seemed to get off on being choked just as much as Graham got off on applying a choke.
Rhodes often allowed the other wrestlers to choke him, I think he enjoyed it.  Here he suffers in J.J. Dillon's rope-wrap.
This beefy blond uses the Tag Rope hanging in the corner to choke out his opponent.  That rope is often used as a weapon, they should think of some other way to handle the Tag Team partner outside the ring!
Argentina Rocca's muscular legs are no help to him, now that his cruel opponent has a rope twisted around his throat.  The big cheater slowly tightens the pressure.
This dude has gripped the ropes, but that doesn't stop his vicious opponent from continuing to tighten a rope around his neck.  The ref must be distracted.  Somebody had better rescue this young man!
	Why is the ref just kneeling there, watching the stud choked into submission?  Maybe the ref can't see the choke-rope the cheater is using, or maybe he doesn't care!
	Now this is getting ridiculous!  I think this ref is helping the brutal wrestler entangle his rope around the victim's neck. That lean stud outside the ropes better jump in and help his partner!
Here is a beefy Injun, Wahoo McDaniel, showing his savage brutality, as he uses a leather strap to choke out his opponents.
Wahoo McDaniel loved to wrestle against white opponents in Strap Matches, where the brawlers are tied together by a leather strap.  He often used the strap to choke the fight out of his opponents.
Check out Ric Flair's big biceps in this dramatic photo! He tosses back his head and flexes all his muscles to apply maximum strangling pressure on his helpless victim.
Jerry Lawler is being smothered and choked by this bald animal.  Lawler was another wrestler who often found himself with a rope tangled around his neck like a noose.
Lawler continues to suffer brutal chokes even later in his career, as Tommy Dreamer teaches Lawler about the Hard-Core style.  Lawler also learned the value of bleeding to excite the fans and extend his career!
	It's the "Battle of the Bruisers" as Dick the Bruiser takes on Bruiser Brody.  I'm not sure whose hand is tied in the ropes alongside Brody's neck, I think it may be the ref's hand!
	Wow, that's an impressive physique on this powerful rookie!  However, his muscles are no use against this powerful veteran and his choke rope.
The WWE has been featuring brutality and blood lately, maybe they discovered the fans enjoy scenes like this!  Here is huge Batista choking out Bradshaw without mercy, while Bradshaw wears a look of ecstasy on his face.
Here is a cruel pirate wrapping a leather belt around some shirtless young man's throat.  The victim sure knows how to make his suffering look hot!
	Strangulation is just as popular in Japanese wrestling as it is in the USA.  I don't think the ref realizes that the bad-boy has a string wrapped around his fingers, cutting into the victim's Adam's Apple without mercy.
	Of course the Mexican fans also enjoy plenty of rope chokes in their brutal matches.  Here is a beefy Luchadore dominating his young opponent, using an extension cord at ringside to choke out the muscular victim.
Here is one of the hottest young dudes on the Indy wrestling scene, Davey Richards, climbing on the ropes.  He seems to have a black eye, I wonder who beat up this ripped stud!
Richards begins wrestling some bearded stud in pink trunks, who wraps a towel around the stud's neck to choke him illegally.
The brutal cheater ignores the ref and continues to strangle poor Davey Richards.  The victim's rock-hard body is stretched back over his attacker's knee.
Poor Davey suffers the effects of that nasty choke hold.  He hangs on the bottom rope, his cute face in an expression of agony, his chest heaving as he tries to catch his breath.
	The ref is distracted in the far corner as cruel Tracy Smothers tries to smother his cute victim in the light blue shorts.
	Here are a pair of perfect models grappling on the beach.  One stud brought a rope along, in order to punish his handsome victim.
This shirtless Japanese wrestler was not happy with the white ref's officiating.  After losing the match, the angry Jap brings the frightened ref to his knees with a choke hold.
The brutal Jap wraps his leather belt around the cute ref's neck and takes a seat on his lower back!  This ref is in great danger, and he is not a grappler trained to defend himself!!
This brutality is out of control!  Why is this insane wrestler permitted to brutalize the helpless Ref like this!!  Clearly the poor Ref needs some help, but the mad-man continues to choke him.
	The ref stops struggling and passes out due to the relentless pressure from the stud's belt.  The Jap grits his teeth and pulls the belt several more times to knock the Ref out cold.
	Standing in domination over the beaten ref, the cruel Asian enjoys his domination.  I hope he is proud of himself, but this really isn't a fair fight!  I hope this bastard is somehow punished for his ruthless attack on the official!
