Iron Claw

   


GRRR! A mean dude named Samoa Joe has the dreaded Iron Claw clamped on the shirtless blond opponent.  The victim is out cold from the intense pressure to his Frontal Lobe.

This slender kid in white from Ring of Honor drops to one knee before the big dude in the black singlet.  He's trying to crush that kid's cranium like an egg.




The Jungle Stud from Can-Am Wrestling is in control of the dude in the green bikini.  I'm surprised more underground and erotic wrestlers don't add this sexy domination hold to their arsenals.




This masked man calmly squeezes the front and back of the beefy dude's skull, massaging his brain in between.  This is making the victim fall slowly into a deep sleep.





Here is another mysterious masked man torturing a beefy, hairy victim with the Iron Claw.  Jack Brisco's own hand curls into the claw shape as the masked villain tightens his grip.




Backlund is on all fours like a dog begging from its master.  Snuka is laughing at the helpless Champion as he claws his forehead and prepares to knee the poor guy in the face.


This big brute is clawing the Outlaw right through his mask.  Can he apply enough pressure to split the mask and expose the Outlaw's true identity?



Look at the odd expression on this crazy Russian's face as he puts away some small town hero with a deadly Iron Claw.  Either this evil bastard is in some strange trance, or he is getting off on this claw punishment right in front of the fans.







Dick the Bruiser often gripped his opponents by the forehead as if he was palming a basketball.  I'm not sure if he was trying to hurt the guys, or just humiliate them by throwing them around by the head.






We've already seen Dick The Bruiser attack the Great Wojo with a Shoulder Claw and a Face Claw.  Now, Dick sinks his fingers into the Olympic wrestler's temples with the dreaded Iron Claw.  Wojo is in a shameful position, he face pointing straight at Dick.



































Wojo better stick to the leg sweeps and arm drags of amateur wrestling, because he is clearly no match for the Bruiser's ruthless Pro Wrestling brutality.  Wojo finds himself on his back, falling asleep from the pressure on his forehead.  No one taught him a counter for this deadly hold!









Why is this idiot ref forcing Bobo Brazil to release his powerful Brain Claw?  Not only is this hold perfectly legal, as you can tell from all the other pics on this page, but also the fans love seeing this hold clamped on, with the victim helplessly paralyzed and twitching in pain. Let them fight, you nimrod!




I never knew Barry Windham used the deadly Iron Claw hold.  I guess he learned it from his father, Blackjack Mulligan.  Maybe that's where he also learned to wear one glove -- Michael Jackson style -- for greater traction and force when applying the Claw.





















This brute, Bison Smith, is keeping the awesome Claw hold alive in modern Pro Wrestling, by torturing his opponents with it, like this blond stud who is cringing in agony.

Another one bites the dust.  Bison cranks on the pressure, his muscles flexing as the victim weakly grips his wrist.  The ref checks for a pin, but I think the poor kid is out cold.
