Gallery 501 Gory Special Effects Gory Guerrero Sr. invented a hanging Backbreaker called the Gory Special.  He taught the secrets of this painful hold to his family members, similar to the way all Von Erichs know Fritz's claw hold. The Gory Special is similar to a Hangman but the focus of the pain is the man's back, not his neck.  Also, it's important to brace his feet on your thighs to trap his lower body so you can bend down his upper body. Chavo Guerrero Sr. applies the dreaded Gory Special on a beefy Mexican in a singlet.  Chavo bends over extra far to really stretch this poor guy's spine! Now Chavo Jr. applies his family's famous hold on Nunzio with the Italian's red boots locked over Chavo's thighs. Little Nunzio should be happy that he is going to be stretched a few inches taller as Chavo leans forward to bend that body in the wrong direction. Chavo continues to casually bend forward, like he is bending over to tie his boot or something.  Meanwhile, Nunzio's partner must watch this torture from a few feet away, but can do nothing to help his buddy. Eddie Guerrero knows how to apply the Gory Special as well.  Chris Benoit's muscular torso is on display, draped across Eddie's back, his muscles in high relief. Benoit may have met his match now that he is being tortured in Eddie's stretching spine snapper.  Curt Angle, the ref, and all the fans watch Benoit groan in agony. Damn, poor Benoit's ears are getting close to his heels thanks to Eddie's forward bend.  The human spine was not designed to arch into this position! The young studs on the indy circuit have adopted this hold as a way to torture the opponent while showcasing his physique and highlighting his suffering.  This shirtless stud is racked by the dude in the blue t-shirt while the fans check out his package. This pretty-boy in the purple tights is hoisted into the Gory Special, on display for all the fans to check out as he groans in pain. When the stud is taken down to his knees for the seated variation of the Gory Special, his pretty blond partner rushes into the ring to rescue him.   CM Punk, the blond with the unusual tattoo, prides himself on learning all the classic pro holds.  Here he destroys some stud in tights with the dreaded Gory Special. Check out this powerful blond trying to snap his ripped opponent in two pieces.  The victim's tight little body is flexing to resist the pain, so the fans can see every muscle and tendon in his hard body. This lean goateed stud thinks he is hot stuff, strutting to the ring shirtless in those white pants.  In the ring, however, he is tortured and humiliated by the dude in red trunks, those tight pants nearly bursting at the seams as he is bent into a Gory Special. Do you remember Sexxxy Eddie, the lean stud who wrestles in his underwear?  Here he is applying the Gory on a beefy dude in a full body suit.   I think the ref is counting this masked man's ribs as the dude's hard body is stretched backwards and he groans in pain. Check out big Samoa Joe using this spine busting move on a much smaller dude.  That is just brutal! Sexy Matt Striker has an intersting gimmick where he channels the spirit of a wrestler from the past and borrows their style.  Tonight he must be possessed by one of the Guerreros because he is using their patented Gory Special. WOW!  This is the ultimate Gory Special, with Brad Martin's perfect body stretched to an impossible shape by his evil opponent Savage. With his arms outstretched, this victim almost looks like he is being crucified by Don Leo Jonathan.  The camera men at ringside are snapping photos of the dude's helpless position. Here is another stud who looks like he is being crucified.  His tight pink briefs can barely contain his bulge as his shredded body gets stretched and broken. The big bullies have decided to finish off their cute young opponents who are wrestling in their jeans.  The dude in plaid pants racks his boy toy in a Gory Special. Now what are the bullies doing to the boys in jeans and matching wrestling shoes?  Bully #1 grabs the legs of Pretty Boy #2, while Bully #2 pulls his head through their legs. Oh damn, this is out of control!  They've combined a Gory Special with a two-on-one Boston Camel, totally destroying and humiliating the young guys in jeans.
