Scorpion Deathlock
(Brett Hart)

 
 
 
Brett Hart loved showing off his wrestling skill by torturing his opponents in the Scorpion Deathlock.  Here is Hart breaking the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels.

 
 
In a different match, Brett again humiliates Michaels by forcing him to submit to this same hold. Michaels again kisses the canvas while Hart leans back for added leverage.

  
Brett slaps the scorpion on another young stud, Ricky Rice, and calmly waits for the pretty boy to surrender, or for his spine to snap.

  
Even the Rattlesnake, Steve Austin, is forced to suffer in Brett's painful Scorpion.  Is Austin passing out from the extreme pain of this hold?

 
 
As blood gushes down from his split forehead, Austin howls like a deer being torn apart by wolves.  This is sick, I thought pro wrestling does not show this graphic violence any more!  Brett has the tough man battered, bleeding, and begging for mercy.

 
 
 
As Austin struggles to escape Brett's hold, blood is pouring down his face, into his eyes, and dripping onto the mat. How long can this sick humiliation and torture continue??  This is brutal, the ref should stop the violence!

 
 
What an amazing effort! Austin presses up, nearly forcing his way out.  He may be the first man to escape Brett's patented Scorpion Death Lock!
It's no use!  Austin collapses back down to the mat, totally beaten as referee Ken Shamrock counts him out. 

 
  
Austin is out cold and the bell is ringing, but cruel Brett refuses to release the hold.  Finally, Shamrock gets physical and orders Brett to let go or else.  Shamrock knows how painful this hold feels, after Brett's brother Owen tortured the muscle man in the previous gallery.
Poor Austin is completely defeated in front of all his fans, covered in his own blood, knocked out cold by the painful scorpion.  I guess Brett had to prove to everyone that he is the best there is...
