Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 In honour of the Benoit/Orton series that revolves around the headlock, as well as me seeing -for the first time- a match end in a headlock the other day, how many ways one can reverse/get out of a headlock? 1. Rope break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 There is always the headlock pin where the guy in the headlock turns his opponent on their back while stuck in the headlock. Think Ric Flair-Ricky Steamboat or any one of several Harley Race matches. The guy getting pinned either has to re-establish himself in a sitting headlock position or let go to break the pin.

Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'll say running out of the ring, and running towards the ropes and letting the momentum take the other guy through the ropes to the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 This is off-topic but last night at the Dayton ROH show, my friends and I all marked out for side headlocks. We'd scream "ask him," "he'll tear it off," and "check the arm!" whenever they got slapped on. Later on, we decided that the headlocks became illegal chokes and had to let the ref know that too. It was a good time. A good headlock counter for someone that finishes with a leg move is the knee breaker. Flair's done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Break the fingers and go for a top wristlock. Lift the opponent up and crotch him on the ropes or turnbuckle. Lift the opponent up and land an atomic drop, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 If it's a side headlock, just punch the guy square in the mouth and chip his teeth. It happened to me once, in Grade 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheShawshankRudotion Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Me and my buddies growing up (Grade 3ish) used to call the headlock "The Mega Maneuver" cause it was easy to slap on and hurt like hell if you got your arm around someone elses neck and squeezed.

Resident Evil Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Buddies and I used to have headlock as well as frontfacelock contests where someone would clamp on a hold and the other would try to escape. So much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cam Chaos Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 High crotch suplex/Teardrop suplex (same thing to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong). Foot stomp. Placing your foot in the back of their near knee and escaping out the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
