[1950-09-09-Kohler Chicago] Bob Geigel vs Buck Weaver

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Bob Geigel back when he wasn't old! (some of the Central States footage online was a 60+ Bob Geigel wrestling in the late 80s!)

 

Also, neat counter out of the Indian Deathlock sequence. Unless the Indian Deathlock is really hard to convincingly apply, you'd think someone could use the Indian Deathlock these days, perhaps as a mid-match heeling spot. Both guys can be in the camera shot of the move. Bad guy using his completely free upper body and arms to taunt as he applies and winds up the hold. Before something prevents the doom of the good guy. Maybe Triple H will need to get more concrete control before we get more Indian Deathlock spots in matches.

 

I think the real name for the spread eagle move is a wishbone. That was an interesting several minutes.

[Moonsault Marvin]

Weaver's toehold where he was turning the ankle really looked punishing. Weaver's finish was interesting. It looked like a botched stunner out of nowhere turned into a weird chinlock.
