Gallery 547 Sick Him The Great Muta, shirtless in his long red pants, applies a Double Toehold on the helpless dude in white boots. The fans all watch this fierce Asian with great interest. Suddenly Muta performs a back-bend, converting the hold into the dreaded Sickle hold.  He tortures the man's legs and spine at the same time by locking his arm under his chin. The victim quickly begins slapping the mat and howling like an animal in a trap as Muta continues to bend him in the wrong direction. Here is another tough Japanese wrestler introducing his American opponent to this interesting and agonizing hold.  Where do these Jap wrestlers learn these clever holds, and how can the poor stupid Americans ever hope to win against these mad skills? Young Chavo knows his wrestling holds from wrestling around for years with his uncles.  Here he destroys some muscular white dude who flexes his hard muscles to resist the spine-snapping pain of the Sickle. Nice close-up of the neck pressure applied by this intense stud with the massive, hard bicep. The great A.J. Styles shows off his flexibility and strength as he bridges back his muscular body to Sickle some helpless dude. A.J. prepares to apply the dreaded Sickle on hunky Hector Garza, flat on the mat in his tight red speedo.  The ref looks very worried about poor Hector! Check out the pressure on the sexy Mexican's legs as he flexes his hard-ass muscles to decrease the pain.  Very nice! This white guy actually lifts his black opponent off the mat, pulling his neck into a dangerous position as the ref calls for mercy.  Why do guys seem to enjoy slapping this painful hold on dudes from other races? The smooth stud in the bulging purple trunks uses a Butterfly variation, stretching the victim's arms out of joint rather than trying to rip off his head. The older wrestler clearly has more experience, proving once again that knowledge and skill can win over youth and cockiness.  He forces the rookie to slap the mat and cry "Daddy!" This screaming jobber desperately tries to break the Sickle by ripping the attacker's hands off his chin.  He better hurry, before he is snapped in two pieces by this intense hold. The Sickle is one of the flashiest and coolest holds in modern pro wrestling.  It gives the young stud in command a chance to show off his hard body and chiseled physique as he bridges back to grip the neck. This tough killer grew up on the streets, learning to fight to survive.  He loves to punish the rich, preppy blond boys from the good neighborhoods with his deadly Sickle. I like the calm expression on the shirtless stud's face as he calmly waits for a submission.  The opponent can't handle much more of this spine-bending pressure. This long-haired blond seems to have passed out from the pain of this endless Sickle.  The attacker maintains the pressure, determined to put him to sleep. This proud brother refuses to give up to a white guy, even if it means his neck is broken in the Sickle.  He pulls the other man's hands to lower the pain level. The white guy flexes his muscles and cranks on the pressure as fear flashes on the black guy's neck. He now realizes the white stud will hurt him if he tries to resist the submission much longer. This stud applies the Double Toehold, which is the first step to locking on the Sickle Hold.  The cute victim pounds the mat, already unable to handle the pain. From New Pro Wrestling, #9 Now the poor kid screams in horror as his ripped opponent bridges back and grips his chin.  Let the begging for mercy begin! The cutie desperately reaches back to untangle his feet.  Meanwhile the hunk with the oh-so-awsome body maintains the back-snapping pressure.
