Sleeper Hold
(Mark Lewin)

 
 
 
Mark Lewin was a tough brawler who loved to wrap his big meaty arms around the opponent's neck and put the guy to sleep.  Here, his opponent is scowling in agony as Lewin flexes his muscles to increase the pressure.  Don't worry big guy, this won't take long.

 
 
Lewin, in the tight briefs, looked lean and mean in the early days of his career.  He's done toying with the jobber in blue, so he slaps on his patented sleeper hold to finish the man off.
Lewin leans in and rests his cheek on the opponent's head for leverage, his powerful back muscles flexing as he tightens his grip.

 
 
Check out the powerful body on young Lewin, the strength in those huge arms, flexing to cut the blood flow to this jobber's brain and send him to dream land.
Everyone knows how this will end: with the chubby jobber laying at Lewin's feet.  It's just a matter of time now as Lewin casually maintains the pressure and waits. "Don't fight it boy, you're done."

 
  
Lewin can't get enough of this hot hold as he clamps it on another beefy jobber.  The victim struggles and grabs Lewin's hair at first, then sits still and obediently waits for Lewin to put his lights out.
The ref taps the strong man's shoulder to tell him the match is over, but Lewin keeps the pressure on a bit longer.  Then he goes through a long process to awaken the brawny dude by twisting his head around and massaging his neck.  I think Lewin just wants to play a little longer.

 
In the later days of his career, Lewin was called the "Maniac."  He still had tree-trunk thick arms, and still loved putting guys away with the sleeper, as he is doing to some jobber in a white speedo.

 
 
"The Maniac" would go into a deep trance when he locked the sleeper on. His muscles remain flexed, applying the pressure, but his eyes are rolled back like he's in some weird state of ecstasy.

 
 
The ref tests the victim's limp arm to verify he is fast asleep, then calls for the bell.  But the freak applying the hold is staring off into space like he is hypnotized, and refuses to release the sleeper!  The worried fans begin to scream at him to let this poor guy go.

  
The bell sounds repeatedly but Lewin is in a weird dream state, continuing to flex his huge arm muscles.  Is this freak really in a trance, or does he just love torturing guys in his sleeper hold for as long as possible after the bell rings?!?
