The Snap Mare, or Head Mare as the Brits call it, is a quick and
easy way to drag your opponent down to the mat where you can work him over
in other wrestling holds. Just grab him around the head and flip him
over your shoulder.
Check out these studs in white gear and black boots! The hairy
chested young hero has one arm hooked behind the other dude's neck and is
about to flip him down to the canvas like he's snapping a whip.
This caption calls this move a "Corkscrew" which is a pretty hot
name for a Snap Mare. Maybe the two-handed variation is called the
Corkscrew. You can tell the victim, Gama Singh, is an evil Arab wrestler
because he is wearing boots with pointed toes.
"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert is looking sweet, bare-chested in his white
tights. The victim cops a feel on the side of Eddie's hard abs before he
is snapped down to the mat.
Here is Mr. Wrestling, another stud who loved to wear all white gear.
You'd better be an expert in ALL the wrestling holds if you are going
to go around calling yourself "Mr. Wrestling"!
With his hairy body covered in sweat, Arn Anderson is getting brutal
on Rick Steiner. First he busted open the big man's forehead, and now
he's about to toss Steiner across the ring with a Snap Mare.
Here is another powerful bodybuilder, Paul Orndorff, being out-wrestled
by a beefy, hairy brawler, Killer Brooks. Brooks turns the Snap Mare
into an illegal move by also gripping two handfuls of hair. You have
to do whatever it takes to beat a big muscle-god like Orndorff.
The "pig tailed peacock" in the sexy striped speedo locks his bicep
under the chin of the lean young dude in white trunks. Is he trying
for a Head Mare, or is he choking the other man with his bulging bicep?
Wow, here is a hairy chested tough-guy, about to throw his ripped
opponent into about the third row of seats. Which lucky fan will get
to catch that lean young wrestler?
This masked Luchadore pulls hair to get extra leverage on his Snap
Mare! Hair, Ref! HAIR!! The victim cringes as he crashes
roughly down on the mat.
I believe this blond kid is young Barry Windham,
in his trademark black briefs and cowboy boots. He is not intimidated
by the masked man in the black body-suit, as he whips the bigger man down
then pounces on him.
Is he planning to Snap Mare the other hairy chested wrestler in
the shiny satin trunks, or is this an unusual Sleeper Hold? Either
way, you gotta love the manly physiques and skimpy gear from the vintage
era of Pro Wreslting!
Yet another brawny grappler from the good old days dominates his
boy toy with just one arm, choking the kid and tossing him around the ring
with a Snap Mare.
Here is one last look at some Old School studs getting it on in the
ring. The hero in all white gear is applying the Snap Mare and looking
sexy as he dominates the villain in all black gear.
