Snap Mare

  

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.
