Von Erich Iron Claw

 
 
 
 
The von Erichs were the most dominant family in Professional Wrestling, thanks to this man, Fritz von Erich, and his study of the paralyzing effects of the Iron Claw.  As masters of the Claw, Fritz and his sons could take down any opponent.

 
  
This Japanese wrestler is horrified, struggling with all his strength to stop Fritz's fingers from grasping his forehead and crushing him to sleep.
It's no use, Fritz is just too powerful.  He manages to clamp his big mitt over the victim's entire face, crushing and squeezing as the opponent grabs his hairy arm.

 
 
In this tag team match, Fritz claws the wrestler in black briefs, keeping the man sprawled out and helpless in the center of the ring.  When the guy's tag partner tries to jump in the ring to rescue his buddy, Fritz's partner traps him in the corner, forcing him to watch the torture.

 
 
Fritz passed the secrets of the Iron Claw down to all his sons, which allowed them to dominate the wrestling world for over a decade.  Even big Harley Race is as helpless as a child when young David locks on his version of the Claw.

 
 
It was almost unfair for the other wrestlers that the von Erichs had this devastating hold in their arsenal. It made them too powerful.  Here, one of the von Erich boys kneels over a helpless victim, clawing him down between his thighs, his package in the beaten man's face.

 
 
The Great Kabuki knew some devastating claw holds himself, but now he is being tamed by Mike von Erich's version of the Iron Claw.

  
It's pay-back time for this von Erich boy.  The vicious German also knows the Iron Claw, and he shows the skinny daddy's boy how it feels to have your skull crushed in a stronger man's grip.

 
Here is a nice close-up of Kevin chest to chest with some dude with braided hair.  Kevin grabs the man's braids from behind to hold his head in position, and sinks his fingers into his forehead to paralyze him.
Kevin leans into his victim's body and whispers in his ear: "Just relax daddy,  I am in control now.  You're about to take a little nap, thanks to the pressure on your forehead."

Here is Kerry, the hottest and strongest of Fritz's sons, straddling his bearded opponent, struggling to attach his powerful fingers around the victim's face.

 
 
Whipping around his wild mane of hair, Kerry slaps the claw on this chubby opponent.  He grasps the wrist of his claw hand and flexes his hard bicep to maintain his tight grip on the sweaty opponent's face.
Yet another opponent lays helpless and beaten in Kerry's claw.  These von Erichs seem to enjoy torturing and dominating other guys with their strong claws.

 
  
With a wild roar, Kerry palms this man's bald head like a basketball. Check out those powerful, sweaty bodies flexing and locked in combat.
