The Sickle
The Sickle begins as a traditional Double Toehold Leglock. Then the attacker arches back to grip his opponent under the chin, bending his head up in a painful Headlock.
OW! OW! OWWWW!

Here is Christopher Daniels suffering in the full blown Sickle move, begging for mercy as his head is pulled up by his bridged opponent.

Poor Daniels seems to get caught in this painful hold alot. Once again he is slapping the mat in agony as some young stud bridges back to apply the chinlock.

This stud is hot even though he is wrestling in a shirt.  The cocky stud looks straight into the camera as he forces his victim to groan in agony and slap the mat.
Even in Japan, the Sickle is used by smaller wrestlers to punish their larger, stronger opponents.  The big dude cringes in agony as his head is twisted to the side.

Another young hunk throws his body backwards so he can slap the Sickle on the older wrestler in the tight black trunks.
"Cry for me, Bitch, or I'll rip your head right off your fuckin shoulders!"

This goateed hunk sticks his tongue out as he adds a wrist lock to his Sickle.  The camera zooms in so the fans at home won't miss a moment of the victim's suffering.

Now a shirtless dude in leather pants locks up both of the masked man's arms in a Butterfly Sickle.  He calmly waits for the victim to scream for mercy.
A.J. Styles has invented a kneeling variation of the dreaded Sickle, which is also known as the "Vertical Indian Deathlock."  I love these clever new holds being created by the studs in the Independent Wrestling scene!
Styles locks on a traditional Sickle on this dude in red and black pants.  You can see the power in Styles' ripped body as he bridges back and lifts the other wrestler's head to torture his neck and spine.
Now A.J. bends the poor guy's body up into his kneeling variation of the Sickle!  That's GOTTA hurt the dude's neck, but A.J. just kneels there calmly cranking on the pressure.

Look at the confidence and aggression on cute A.J.'s face as he punishes his opponent's neck and back.  The other dude, meanwhile, is about to pass out from the pain.  He can almost touch his forehead to his shoes.
That's A.J. Styles in command of yet another jobber punk, bridging his muscular body to slap the Sickle on the helpless dude in the tight blue speedo.
Now clever A.J. flips over on his belly, forcing his bloody opponent to lay across his back.  This gives A.J. more leverage to punish the poor guy's neck.
DAMN!  Now A.J. bends the dude into his patented Kneeling Sickle!  The kid in dark blue can't escape this endless neck torture, so he grips A.J. around the chin and applies a Kneeling Sickle of his own!
Who will prevail in this battle of neck breakers?!?  The ref raises his fists as both wrestlers continue to bend and twist the other man's chin.
These studs are locked in mortal combat and neither one will yield!  They are so tightly locked together in this Double Sickle, I think the ref will need to pry them apart with a Crow Bar.
