Gallery 129 - Boston Crab  Variations

 
 
 

The "Crippler" Chris Benoit applies an unusual Boston Crab hold to Alex Wright, his weight up near the flexible rookie's neck.  He holds Alex on display for the fans to check out.

 
 

	The dude in white also locks on a neck-snapping variation, sitting up between the shoulders of the singlet wrestler.  He didn't lock the guy's feet under his armpits, but he seems to be getting a great stretch on the victim's spine.
	Another hunk decides not to trap the legs under his arms, but instead hugs the victim's legs to his chest as he sits in domination on the poor guy's back.

 
 

	This classic pro wrestler bends the helpless victim into a reversed Boston Crab, hugging the victim's legs rather than sitting on his lower back. I guess there's more than one way to snap a spine.
	Another tough bruiser from the good old days finds a creative way to punish the opponent's back.  It looks like he's rowing a boat by prying the man's legs up between his crotch.

 
  

	Chris Jericho calls his variation the "Lion Tamer."  He flips the opponent half way, twisting the man's body with his head bent against the mat. Jericho has tamed alot of lions this way!
	Here is Scotty Riggs getting tamed by Jericho.  Scotty's body is twisted up like a pretzel, his head bent at a sick angle thanks to Jericho's knee pressed in the back of his neck.  What a vicious hold, you gotta love it!

 
 

	Dean Malenko calls his painful variation the "Texas Cloverleaf".  He locks the victim's right foot behind the left knee, and traps that left ankle under his arm.
	This hunk must be a fan of Dean Malenko.  He shows off by breaking some pretty boy in white boots in the dreaded Texas Cloverleaf.

 
 

This muscular young stud is coated in sweat as he applies the Cloverleaf on the wrestler in the orange g-string.  The camera catches a glimpse of the victim's package, held on display by the strong man in control.
Yet anther ripped young buck uses his awesome strength to break the opponent's spine with a Cloverleaf.  "How's your back feel, punk?" he growls, as he flexes his hard arms to increase the pressure.

 
 

This is a very unusual Standing Boston Crab applied by the wrestler in the tarzan briefs on some ripped hunk.  Gravity contorts the victim's spine as the heel uses his bent body to form a letter "P".

 
  

The tag team in black gear slaps a pair of Boston Crabs on the boys in blue.  The bad guys sit and have a casual chat, while their opponents slap the mat and cry in stereo.
