Vintage Camel Clutch







Jack Brisco dominates the Spoiler with a variation of the Camel Clutch.  In the old days, the true Camel Clutch hold was mostly reserved for a few "experts" who had "mastered" this deadly maneuver.


                                                                    


The Iron Sheik was one of the few experts of the Camel Clutch.  Here he weakens Jimmy Garvin's back with an Abdominal Stretch, then tries to finish him off with his patented Camel Clutch, but he never gets the hold properly applied.




Jimmy Garvin learned this dominating hold (sort of) from the Sheik and now applies it to young Barry Windham.  With a cocky grin, sexy Garvin slowly tortures young Windham's neck and back.



Now Barry Windham, looking hot wrestling in his cowboy boots, slaps the same hold on J.J. Dillon.






























Bob Backlund was another master of the Camel Clutch from the golden age of wrestling.  Here Backlund wins the WWF Championship belt from Inouki on 12/7/79. The Japanese fans at ringside watch in frustration as their champion is forced to submit to the American boy.



When Backlund agreed to wrestle the Iron Sheik on 12/26/83, it was the Sheik's superior skill at the Camel Clutch that finished Backlund's title reign. Backlund's manager Arnold Skaaland threw a towel in the ring rather than seeing Backlund broken in two pieces.

Of course brave young Bob Backlund never submitted to the evil Sheik.  He only lost because his stupid manager threw the towel in the ring.

Backlund never spoke to his manager again after the towel was thrown in the ring ending his title reign.  Was Skaaland worried about his friend's neck, or was this a conspiracy to de-throne the stud in the red singlet?




Steve Keirn was one of the hunkiest dudes from the glory days of wrestling.  Here he is seated in domination on Butch Miller's lower back, his bronze muscles flexing as he punishes his victim's spine.




Whoa, Curt Hennig was another classic wrestling stud. Check out the angry look in his eyes as he destroys some jobber's back.  The little caption at the bottom says: "Hennig enjoys inflicting pain" which makes this stud in white boots sound like some kid of sadistic freak who gets horny by hurting other guys.




Mike Rotundo looks exhausted and helpless as this hairy brute finishes the cute boy off with an Arabian Clutch. Don't you just want to rush in and rescue the poor stud? (Or would you rather watch him suffer for a while?)



All 4 wrestlers are in the ring in this Mexican tag team match. One Mexican Luchadore applies the Camel Clutch on his Japanese opponent while his partner twists the masked man's arm out of the socket.



Check out this hot painting of El Santo, the Mexican superhero, with his hands covering his helpless victim's eyes.
