Crippler Cross Face


"The Crippler" Chris Benoit invented this hold to finish off his opponents.  He clamps the poor guy's arm between his thighs and yanks up on his face, rocking to bend the dude's neck and spine up until he screams for mercy.

Benoit lays across the man's lower back to trap him on the mat as his muscles flex to work the victim's spine in the wrong direction.  Hot hold by a very hot wrestler!

The camera zooms in to capture the intensity of this young man's suffering and the strain in Benoit's powerful grip.  You can barely see his eyes, but you can tell this is the worst pain the jobber has ever felt.  He should just make his life easy and submit to this powerful hunk before he is crippled.
Check out the impressive muscles in The Crippler's arms as he tries to rip The Rock's head right off his shoulders.  The Rock thinks he is now a hot shot movie star, but Benoit reminds him that muscle is king in the wrestling ring.

Sweat glistens on Benoit's ripped arms as he continues to yank and grind and pull The Rock's face and chin, like he is pulling up the reins on an unruly horse. I'd say Benoit just layed the Smack down on this cocky movie star.


The young grappler in long pants and work boots must have a hard-on for Benoit.  He copies his hero, slapping on the dreaded Crippler Cross Face to finish off his opponent.

Is this the same young hunk, or a different Indie wrestler who likes to wear boots and striped sweat pants?  I like how he presses his forearm against the victim's cheek bone for added pain to his Crippler Cross Face.
Benoit must have quite a following amoung the hot young lions on the Independent scene.  Here, a Benoit- Wanna Be locks up the Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels, humiliating and torturing the bald dude by jerking him up by the face.

Check out this tough old veteran with his opponent's tattooed arm tightly clamped between his thighs.  He grinds up and down against the man's arm as he rocks back and forth, yanking the man's head back.  Total domination by this alpha male!

An even tougher, meaner wrestler can't stand to see his young friend humiliated like this.  He rushes into the ring and chinlocks the goateed bully to force him to release the suffering young stud.  Now who is the alpha male in the ring??


This bully laughs as he pulls his victim up while twisting his head to one side.  You can see the agony in the beaten young man's face as the beefy, sweaty daddy traps his arm tightly between his thick thighs. Now this poor guy will be able to swivel his head around like the chick in The Exorcist.
Here is one last look at studly Chris Benoit, master of this deadly hold, howling at the moon like a wild coyote as he finishes off Mike Enos with the dreaded Crippler Cross Face.
