Classic Figure 4 Headscissor

The manly studs from the vintage days of Pro Wrestling really knew how to use their legs to control and punish the opponent.  Here is a bearded hunk in long black tights with his legs clamped around Giant Baba's neck.  He is slowly, calmly putting the big Japanese monster to sleep with that tight Figure 4 Headlock!

Check out this beefy, cocky stud, staring arrogantly at the camera as he casually sleepers his victim using just his legs.  He is saying to the fans at home: "Yeah I'm a stud and I know it.  Look how I can punish this man with just my legs.  What are you gonna do about it??"

Both the attacker and the victim clench their hands into fists in this intense Figure 4 Headscissor.  The bearded hunk in control cinches his right ankle tightly against his victim's neck, bracing his head against the other thigh, to put the poor guy to sleep.

Wow, hot expressions on the faces of these classic grapplers.  The dominator applying the head scissor is howling like a hungry wolf while his prey cringes in suffering.

This brutal Russian beast is smothering his American boy toy between his thighs, his big army boots locked together.  Come on ref, that looks like a choke hold!
This punisher is having a casual chat with his partner while he flexes his calf muscle to choke his victim.  "Yeah man, we can go out for beers later, sounds good.  First we gotta finish off these wimpy opponents, but that's no big deal."
This bald stud, Geoff Portz, was known for his devastating scissors.  Great physique on the He-Man as he grabs his own boot to tighten his leg vice on this jobber.
Now Geoff Portz presses down on his victim's head, forcing the jobber's neck tighter into the "V" between his right thigh and left calf.  Damn, this guy knows how to hurt someone in his Figure 4 Headscissors.
Portz really seems to get off on using his legs to finish these guys.  Here he grips his own boot, tightens his leg muscles, and calmly waits for the struggling jobber to grow weak and lay still on the mat.

This beefy bad-ass in the caveman singlet has no mercy on his opponent, who is quickly going limp.  He clamps his leather boot tightly on the poor guy's carotid artery, throwing his belly forward for extra scissoring leverage.

This instruction book teaches the eager young grapplers a punishing variation.  The attacker lays on his belly and hooks one boot behind the opposite calf to slap on a reverse Figure 4 Head Scissors.
Whoa, great picture of this bare chested Japanese guy in long black tights using his leg power to put the American into dream land.  The victim claws desperately at the leg, locked on like a noose, trying to avoid drifting off to sleep.


This suffering victim looks like a Super Hero in his full body suit, shiny mask, and boots.  His manly opponent in the classic gear is not intimidated by the fancy costume.  He slaps on a Figure 4 and squeezes with all his might, just like he would with any opponent.  His legs are like Kryptonite to this super hero.

Here is yet another beefy vintage rassler with a very tight Figure 4 around the victim's neck!  I sure wish wrestlers now-a -days would still use this hot hold in their matches!
