Hands down, the People's Elbow

Edit: obviously, this is more of a move than a hold

Of course it's got to be the rear naked choke, so deadly and so simple.

Spadle is pretty demeaning if you can pull it off, grapevine is DEFINATELY the most painful I cant think of.

Thank you for your replies (read them all). Part of my income comes from real and fantasy wrestling. I have been doing this, part time, for about 10 years. Some of your answers may help me better understand how to improve my performance in certain areas. Thank you again! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] -Sharon.

You never wrestled anyone who was good at leg-riding.

spladle,

its been a while, but are you talking about being on top and having your legs wrapped around theirs over then under and locking down with your feet against their feet?

Re: Favorite Wrestling Hold?
 

grapevine isn't even painful. a banana split is painful.

I wrestled in High School and both our 215 and 189 pounder were competent leg wrestlers. If I recall correctly (which I prob dont) Grapevine and Grapes of Wrath are the same move. I remember Grapes of Wrath being put on me once as a fishy sophomoore (Fish is wreslting slang too! It means someone who flops around on the mat like a fish out of water) and it felt like my hips were being pulled out of their socket, and is the most painful memory I have from wrestling.

This is a reasonably good description of leg riding.
