Start Tapping, Fool



The STF, or Stepover Toehold Front Facelock, is when the attacker scissors his opponent's leg, then bends his head back in a facelock.

It's very important to trap his boot tightly in your crotch, scissoring it against your groin, so he can't escape the hold.
Here is cute young Joey Ryan, a rising star on the Indy scene, applying the STF on some other young stud.  

This dude combines his painful STF with an abdominal stretch, bending the masked kid into an agonizing shape.


The shirtless kid watches tapes of wrestling every day to learn the moves, then he calls his buddy over to practice the holds on his body for hours.

The stud in white boots uses an interesting Double Toehold variation on his opponent, breaking his leg while also choking him out.
Guerrero and Malenko know all the rare complex holds, and they loved to apply them on each other.  Here Malenko is getting ready to submit to Eddie's inescapable STF.

This is pretty humiliating for Malenko, the "Man of 1,000 Holds", to be out-wrestled by Eddie Guerrero, who continues to pour on the neck-snapping pressure.


Here are some shirtless studs wrestling at an outdoor festival.  The dude in control bends the blond kid's neck until it nearly snaps.

"What do you say, fans??  Should I break this pretty-boy in two pieces?"
Matt Stryker slaps a kneeling variation of the STF on cute Brett Barnes.  Barnes stretches desperately for the ropes so Stryker will have to release the hold.

The handsome dude continues to struggle, trying to stretch his arm out like Inspector Gadget to reach those distant ropes.  Stryker, meanwhile, flexes his muscles to rip Brett's head off his shoulders.

At last, he reaches the rope and Stryker must let go.  Stryker gives his neck a few more violent yanks before releasing the pressure.


I forget this big killer's name, but he loves to apply the painful STF, as he is doing to this poor kid in the singlet.  The victim is forced to slap the mat and howl for mercy, destroyed by the big sadistic animal.

The same killer is now trying to break some helpless black wrestler.  He grinds his forearm bone on the poor victim's face.

The brother is thinking about tapping out, raising his finger while he tries to decide how much pain he can stand.

The big bad-ass leans back further, twisting the stud's neck into a position he has never felt before.  He quickly slaps the mat and the bell rings to end the match.

Hey, let him go, you bully!

The big bastard continues to rock his body, jerking the opponent's head off as he slaps the mat repeatedly, screaming his submission over and over.
