trained in any of these? 
Actually, yeah. Some of those are legit techniques that were modified for pro wrestling. The chicken wing, german suplex, crossface, bear hug and rear naked choke are a few examples.
Nothing beats the Freebirdās Oriental Spike. Except, maybe, the Von Erichās Iron Claw.
The hardest thing about the Iron Claw has to be the chafe of the ketchup packet in your grapeholders (speedos). Those Heinz packets have little serrated edges. OUCH.
i think the toughest technique i ever did was the invaderās heart punch
MK - Spoken like a true old-school wrestling fan
I always liked the green mist technique from the Great Kabuki
oh man! those were the days!
When I was a little guy, my father & I went on a trip but he wouldnāt tell me where we were going..
Turned out we drove half an hour to an Italian restaurant to have dinner with some of his freinds.
Bruno Sammartino was sitting at the table! I was awestuck. I got to sit next to him and he talked to me thru the whole dinner. He was the coolest. The guy was HUGE and I remember the fork looked ridiculously small in his hands. He was so cool.. I think I spent the next year giving every stuffed animal a headlock.. and a back breaker.
The camel clutch owns you allā¦
Another BIG dude was Mabel. I met him and a few other wwf guys when I was younger.
Cool stories. I thought I was the only wrestling kid out there. Anyone I talk to about it is like āWhat??? I didnāt watch wrasslinā when I was growing upā. What a loss. The characters and action was a lot better back in the day. The Von Erichs, Kabuki, Andre the Giant (I actually met him), Dusty Rhodes, **** Murdoch, and my all-time favorite, The Masked Superstar.
Speaking of the Masked Superstar, anyone ever try the Cobra Hold? That sh!t works!
Kamala, The Ugandan Giant, was the Bob Sapp of my youth.

YYD has just flipped the correct over into a boston crab and will finish it off with a fiqure 4 leg lock.
(btw actually saw a kidās ankle get broken from goofing around doing a figure 4)
Yeah, Kamala was cool, I remember the big story when he was first brought into wrasslinā by Jimmy Hart.
I had a cousin that used to put me in the Figure 4, yep, hurts like he!!
Would like to see a finish someday in Pride or UFC with the Cobra LOL.
jimmy snuka 0wns everyone, and he does it from the air.
unless your jim neidhart. that guyās goatee could scare the steroids right out of you.
yeah, The Anvil was a strong guy
and the Superfly could fly

He was a librarian for a while here in my city, from what I hear.
triple h wrestled here for a long time, before he made it to the wwf. He was a lot smaller back then, and wrestled under the name hunter hearst helmsley - the hhh abbreviation came when he hit the wwf.
Iāve met jerry lawler before too.
yeah, that Triple H is one buff mofo now
hows this for old skool MIL MASCARAS!!!
Where is the love for George āthe animalā Steele?
In a few years, Iāll be that hairy and charismatic..
Much love for Mil Mascaras - did you know he even came out in some low budget Mexican movies back in the day? They sell them here at our Wal Mart LOL. Of course I am in San Antonio
Gotta love The Animal - actually he was some sort of English professor or something in āreal lifeā, right?
