Gallery 134 - Classic Sleeper

 
 
 

	Ahhh, the good old days of pro wrestling, when heros in all white gear were taken down by beefy bad guys using long, hot sleeper holds.
	The chubby baby face sinks to the mat, limp and helpless in the bruiser's tight squeeze.  The concerned ref checks if this is a choke hold.

 
 

"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert is the hunky bearded blond working the tight sleeper on rookie Sam Houston.  Check out those tall boots on the lanky cowboy as he squirms around and spreads his legs wide on the mat.

 
 

This intense grappler stands up and leans over his opponent for greater leverage.  The older wrestler is limp as a ragdoll in that tight sleeper.

 
  

This handsome dude is calmly waiting for the beefy bald daddy to go limp and sink to the mat.  The bruiser is resisting, struggling to stay awake as the ref cops a feel on the dude's arm.

 

	He isn't too happy that his forehead is busted open and blood is pouring into his eyes and dripping down on his hand.  He takes his revenge by putting the other guy away in a devastating sleeper.
	Check out the dazed, relaxed look on this sleeping stud.  I'd say he's out cold, except that he is holding one arm weakly in the air. The opponent leans his body weight into the hold, to make that arm drop to the mat.

 
 
 

One of the Von Eric's, in those sexy white trunks with the stripe down the side, knocks some sadistic German soldier down to size with a tight standing sleeper.

 
 
 

This dude uses a hot sleeper variation, pressing both forearms  on his victim's neck rather than the bicep and forearm of just one arm.  It seems to be working fine, as the beefy hunk grows weak and sinks to his knees, as limp as a ragdoll.

  

The hairy biker probably thought he could easily destroy a pretty boy like Tom Zenk.  Instead, the muscular Z-Man surprises the chubby biker with his patented sleeper hold. Ring the bell!

 

	The ref ordered this Luchadore to release the hold, but the cruel bastard refuses.  So the ref gets rough and starts yanking the man's hair.
	The ref is about to rip handfuls of hair out of this cheater's head, trying to force him to release that tight sleeper on the helpless rookie in his grasp.
	Finally, the cruel bastard lets go, and the Elvis impersonator drops to the mat, dizzy and helpless from that long held sleeper.

 

This bearded bully has his victim's head twisted at a sickening angle.  The ref reaches in to make sure he doesn't snap the beefy dude's neck.

 
 
 

It's not often you see the Sheik in a helpless position.  The powerful opponent busted him open, and now flexes his arms, finally getting some revenge on the diabolical Sheik.

 
  

This man has reached the ropes, so Gagne should release that sleeper hold, but according to the caption, he put the man out for 5 minutes instead.  What about the rules, Gagne??

 
 

Barefoot young Kevin looks helpless and worried as Chris Adams flashes a cocky grin and tightens up the sleeper hold. Adams loved to humiliate and embarass the Von Eric boys.
Kevin is in control now as he presses his claw hand on Ric Flair's forehead and flexes his hard biceps to stop the blood flow to the Nature Boy's brain.
Now Flair gets to enjoy the feeling of making another man go limp in his grasp as he puts away this hairy chested hunk.
Flair is back in the sleeper hold, compliments of Ricky Steamboat.  Steamboat pumps up his softball sized bicep and presses it against Flair's carotid artery. Check out the skimpy trunks on both wrestlers.
