Wiki History Listing


V1 A [[submission hold]] in [[wrestling]] where the attacking wrestler stands behind the opponent who is either sitting or lying face down, then pulls the opponent into an inverted facelock, often hooking the opponent's near arm with their free arm. The attacker then pulls backwards and up, wrenching the opponent's neck and spine. If the opponent is sitting, the wrestler can press their knee into the opponent's back, adding pressure.

It is innovated by [[Fujinami Tatsumi]] and popularized in the United States by Ultimo Dragon.

There are other variations of this hold:

1) With body scissors added to further restrain the opponent. Used by [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]] wrestler [[Sanada (NJPW)|SANADA]] as the [i]Skull End[/i] and [[WWE]] wrestler Drew Gulak as the [i]Gu-Lock[/i].

2) A version from a back-mount position. In other words, a hybrid with a [[camel clutch]]. Used by Low Ki as the [i]Dragon Clutch[/i] and All Elite Wrestling wrestler Malakai Black as the [i]Owari Death Clutch[/i], [i]Dragon Slayer[/i] or [i]Dark Ritual[/i].

3) A standing variation. Used by [[The Undertaker]] as the [i]Takin' Care of Business[/i].

4) A transition from a [[surfboard (wrestling)|surfboard]] position. Used by [[Daniel Bryan]] as one of his signature moves.
