Out Cold



The best part of the Sleeper Hold, the image that keeps wrestling fans tuning in week after week, is the point where the victim relaxes and falls into a limp, helpless sleep while the opponent maintains the pressure.

You can tell when the Sleeper is effective when even the victim's face relaxes.  This is the ultimate display of submission to a stronger man.
Instead of ringing the bell, some refs will prolong the victim's humiliation by lifting his arm and letting it drop like a wet noodle to the mat.  Clearly he is out cold, so why lift his arm and drop it over and over??
When the victim has wild, wavy hair like this blond dude, the man applying the Sleeper tends to grip that thick mane of hair in his fingers to strengthen his hold.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper made the cover of this magazine due to his sexy Sleeper Hold.  The true masters of this hold press their hand over the victim's forehead to further decrease the blood flow to his brain.

Damon's eyes are technically open, but he is clearly out cold, unable to move a muscle thanks to this stud's tight sleeper.  The attacker presses his cheek against his forearm for greater pressure.

This victim wears interesting tights, which are torn to shreds like a cheap hooker's panty-hose after a rough night.  
This wrestler thought he was a bad-ass in his "Heavy Metal" t-shirt and KISS style face-paint. He soon realizes he isn't as tough as he thought when the cute opponent takes him down in a Sleeper.
Soon, the Rock and Roll Superstar is fast asleep in his master's embrace.  The hunk maintains his grip long after the victim has dozed off and the bell has rung.

This hairy jobber in the blue singlet is totally out.  The only thing holding him up is his opponent's knee and that tight Headlock around his neck.

Here is a closer view of the attacker's intense expression as he pours on the pressure, and the sleeping victim's limp arm draped over the dominant man's thigh.
Check out this stud's partner on the ring apron, making fun of their handsome young victim by putting his hands by his head like he is taking a nap.
Soon the victim is as limp as a dishrag, and the cruel attacker trash-talks him all the way down to the mat.  Clearly he is out cold, ring the bell!
The cocky partner distracts the ref while the evil bastard places his boot on the sleeping victim's face!  This is so humiliating!  Why is he degrading the poor kid?
Now the partner takes his turn at trash-talking the sleeping stud.  He stands over the helpless man and holds the championship belt right in his face while calling him every name in the book.  Is this really necessary?  The poor kid tried his best!

Wow, check out the ripped body on this stud in the blue bikini, unable to escape the other dude's tight sleeper. His arms grow limp and drop to his sides as he realizes he has no hope of escaping.

Wow, the victim is out cold, his muscular body on display as the stud in commend continues to apply the pressure.  This is very dangerous, he should release the hold!

After putting the hunk to sleep, the dude stands with his foot against the victim's chest, rubbing the sole of his boot on the sleeping man's nipple.
Here is the same victim again trapped in a tight Sleeper.  Judging from that impressive bulge in his blue bikini, I'd say he actually enjoys being put to sleep!
Once again, the masked loser is subjected to humiliating treatment after he is out cold.  The dominant man holds his face and slaps him around to wake him up for Round 2.

Here is the same victim, now in a green bikini, allowing another man to put him out with a Sleeper.  I think he may be one of those guys who enjoys that helpless feeling.
He decided to oil up that hard body for this match, to really show off his muscles.  Once again he is trapped in the sleeper, unable to escape as the other dude flexes that muscular arm to put him away.
Troy Baker isn't as tall as Shane McCall, so he leaps on the larger man's back to apply the Sleeper.  He locks his legs around the man's waist, hooking his boots tightly together, and wraps his rock hard arms around the victim's neck.

Shane begins to loose strength, stumbling around the ring like he's been shot with a tranquilizer dart.  Troy continues to ride him, tightening his grip to tame the wild beast.

Shane struggles when he drops to one knee, but it's already too late.  Troy knows exactly what he's doing, and he cinches on more pressure now that he has his feet on the ground.

Soon Shane is limp and helpless, totally defeated by Troy's powerful arm and relentless grip.  I like Shane's expression as his face relaxes, showing that this Sleeper Hold is for real.
The tan little stud drops his larger opponent on the mat like David putting away Goliath.  Who would have dreamed this cute little stud could actually defeat the big, bad veteran, Shane McCall?
