Hi Grapple Fans,
I’ve been wondering recently about moves from British wrestlings golden era that we no longer see in wrestling such as the arm leaver, toe and ankle hold or the folding press. As well as moves that had very British names that our American cousins never adopted such as the Double Leg Nelson.
What moves or names do we not hear anymore and how many were invented on the fly by Kent Walton.
I’d imagine many have origins on Lancashire wrestling.
Kent invented the japenese stranglehold the previous name was a lancashire cravat it annoyed jack fallon when it given an oriental twist. the leg hank has disappeared completely.
