Iron Claw |
| The ref can't see that the evil Destroyer is holding the ropes for leverage as he cranks on the Iron Claw. He is too busy watching the stud on the mat slowly pass out from the pain and agony. |
 |
| This bald beast claws the top of his opponent's head like he is inserting his fingers into a bowling ball! Why is he allowed to wear that nasty looking leather wrist strap into the ring?? |
 |
| "Killer" Karl Krupp growls like a hungry lion as he defeats his opponent using his devastating Iron Claw. His big mitt covers the victim's entire face! No wonder he is able to slow the blood flow to the brain. |  |
 |
The ref watches closely as the jobber slowly succombs to the masked villain's grip. Why do bald wrestlers and masked wrestlers always seem to get off on using the Iron Claw?? |
| This husky bearded dude has the victim's head bent over the ropes at a dangerous angle. Ignoring the ref's warnings, he holds the opponent in an Iron Claw, his bulging package in the poor guy's face. Totally humiliating and illegal! |  |
 |
Which came first: the armlock or the claw? Will the dude on the mat pass out before he can use his legs to break his muscular opponent's powerful claw grip? |
 |
This guy uses the Claw to escape some kind of leglock. That's why this hold is so feared in wrestling: it can be applied from any position without warning, and put the opponent into a slumber. |
 |
It's claw vs. claw as these two Iron Claw masters grip each other's foreheads and crank on the pressure. As one tightens his crushing grip, the other returns the favor. Who will pass out first? Who can't handle the pain? |
 |
The beefy guy in blue trunks sees the Claw coming and begs the Spoiler for mercy: "No please, not the Claw Hold!! Please don't put my lights out!" But the evil Spoiler does it anyways. |
 |
This poor dude is trapped in a headlock and can do nothing to prevent that hand from gripping his face and squeezing him into dreamland. |
 |
Sadistic Rene' Goulet uses both hands to claw innocent young Bret Hart's forehead. He takes the rookie to the mat. The fans cheer for the young lion to get up and fight back against this cocky cheater with his name stitched on his ass. |
 |
Brett wore tight speedos in those days, much hotter than his singlet and tights. He bravely rises to his feet, but Goulet has no mercy on the kid, and continues to work the Iron Claw. How long can this claw torture continue?? This young man is in serious pain! |
 |
Later, the rookie is flat on his back, trying to catch his breath. Goulet stalks him like a hungry wolf after a lamb, and slaps on another vicious Claw! The exhausted young grappler must again struggle to his feet and break free! |
 |
Baron von Rashke was yet another bald brawler who was a master of the Iron Claw. Here he tightly grips the temples of some muscular young man with big guns and sends him into a daze. |
 |
Great close-up of the Baron gripping the rookie's head like a vise! The kid grabs the Baron's wrist to try to loosen his grip. |
 |
Yet another opponent falls victim to the howling
Baron's powerful squeeze. The Baron loved this hold. Can no
man withstand the pain??
