Let's Play Hangman!



Also called the Neckbreaker, the Hangman is when you grip the opponent's chin while standing back to back, then bend forward so his neck must support all his weight.

"Maniac" Matt Borne loved to use the Hangman to torture his jobbers.  I think he liked listening to them moan and cry for mercy right in his ear.

Check out the big grin on sadistic Borne's face as he knees down to bend this poor rookie's neck to a very painful position.
Cruze, wearing the red bikini and headband, decides to finish this opponent off with a screaming Neckbreaker.  Cruze may be shorter than his opponent, so he keeps leaning forward until he feels the jobber squirming around in agony.

Little Cruze raises the taller man completely off his feet.  Gravity takes over and the poor guy's neck grows three sizes longer.

Now check out Kid Vicious, living up to his name as he destroys some jobber boy in light blue tights using his painful Hangman move.  From BG East, Kid Vicious vs. Marty Rousseau, Submissions 6



OUCH!  Joe Mazetti locks his opponent's legs in the ropes to hold him in place, then applies a Hangman to torture the poor kids neck.  GREAT physique on Mazetti!

I think Jackie Pallo is trying to escape studly George Kidd's back stretcher by kicking off the ropes.

Baron Scicluna was another beefy brawler from the golden age of British Pro Wrestling.  He runs around the ring so his bouncing body will stretch this poor kid's neck out.
Here are some dudes wrestling in their jeans, I think they are having a Rip and Strip match.  The dominant stud still has a torn shirt and boots on, while the jobber is almost naked and helpless in the Hangman.

This curly haired stud in the packed speedo kneels down to snap his opponent's neck across his shoulder.


Check out "LA Wrestler" with the sweet tattoo on his arm.  He bends this dude in the black speed to the breaking point.

Someone must have set up a tent in this victim's green speedo, judging from that ridgepole that is stretching out the front.  There is no hiding the boner in a hold like this!
The white man rests his opponents head on his shoulder and locks one boot over his thigh for a little extra twisting punishment.

This stud with the belly tattoo and red bikini loves to torture his opponents with Hangmen and Back breakers!

When the Brooklyn Bodywrecker wrestled young Bryan Walsh, he snuck a leather strap into the matroom.  He now wraps that strap around Bryan's neck to choke him.

This is terrible, the hairy chested stud is strangling the young man in the white speedo and tall black boots!

He makes sure he has the strap tightly secured around Bryan's throat, wrapping it 5 or 6 times around.

Oh no, gripping the strap in his fist, he forces the rookie stud to his feet, stands back to back, and prepares to lean forward to hang him.

Talk about a "Hangman", Bodywrecker is literally hanging poor Bryan, the strap tightening around his neck as Bryan is lifted off his feet!!  He would scream his submission but the strap is too tight, constricting his vocal cords.

At last the brute has mercy on this eager young rookie.  He drops Bryan's limp body to the mat and allows him to loosen the strap from his neck.
