Can you do calf crusher vs Brock lock

[@wickedgood3793]

Styling and profiling, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, slick rick had advanced! Pretty good wooo I must say and loved the grip variations of the ankle lock. Brad you should be a wrestler, so should Joe. Brad and Joe vs Susuki and ZSJ would killer to see. Even as singles Joe could run the jr heavyweights and Brad vs Walter, Josh Barnett, Tom Lawlor or Minoru Susuki would be money and so great to watch! Reach out to Josh Barnett he has this thing called Bloodsport. Fans lets make this happen

The intro........with Angle and Flair's WOO! off instantly made me realise why these two submissions are against one another. As I was originally thinking the Figure 4 Leg Lock should go against the TJP Clutch because it's basically the same move with the only difference being one move is when the opponent is down back first and one is when the opponent is down face first (basically an inverted Figure 4 Leg Lock). But, that WOO! off made me realise that this is the better match.

@@matsujonen Dean Malenko used it for the longest time. Least during the WCW phase of his career in the 90s. Technically speaking, one of the best in the business. His size/promos/the locker room politics of WCW never put him higher than midcard. He was the perfect guy to work with guys like Mysterio, Jericho, Eddie, and other guys that size/ability and his matches more than stand up today. He might be more known for the Jericho promo about the 1001 (or 1004, I always forget) moves Malenko knew and kept repeating "Armbar!" than his wrestling career.

The reversal to the Figure 4 is to roll over. Shawn Michaels version began with a Sharpshooter type step over.

[@soundtracksfortheblind9225]

you all should watch WALTER vs Ilja Draganov from this past year I think you all would like one of most brutal modern matches that’s just two dudes hitting each other

[@SeanographyProd]

I've hit the Figure 4 in rolls. Focus on it as a kneebar, with the opponent's crossed over leg running over their other patella, then crunch in on it, keeping that leg outstretched and pulling down on the crossed over leg.

[@iaminkhaotic2425]

Also, with the ankle lock, push up, and do a roll(inward) and you should be able to escape it.

[@zwbruno90]

“Pop” is the right term lol

Flair's "retirement" match wasn't the main event, plus he wrestled after. First on an Australian tour with Hulk Hogan and then later in TNA Impact wrestling, where you got some of the video from.

I'd love to see both of you as a tag-team. I'm sure there are a bunch of UK promotions that'll love for you to train with them. Also, check out Simon Millers journey from bodybuilder/wrestling fan to wrestler/wrestling fan.

[@marquisjackson3054]

The worst part about a figure four is whether is put in correctly or incorrectly, it still fucking hurts. The correct way to to put the opponent’s ankle on top of their patella and essentially remove their kneecap. If done incorrectly, then it’s shin on ankle bone and still is horrific.

[@dorkangel1076]

Oooh, first one of these I've disagreed with. The ankle lock has a lot more setups than the figure four. Any rolling leg move can transition into the ankle lock. In the clip even, blocking a stunner setup. The also have the option to scissor the leg and drop down for that extra pop. Figure Four only really starts with the guy lying on his back and once you go through the theatrics, that's it (though he could "Woooo" while cranking it). I didn't follow Flairs earlier career but late career he didn't even win with it that often, partly because he was often heel so faces only really tapped if they'd been injured first. The Figure Four was often countered by simply rolling over onto your front which allegedly "reversed the pressure" meaning you were basically caught by your own move. In reality this was bollox though so I don't know if that counts. Are you judging reality or wrestling reality? 😉

It depends on the pro wrestling organizations. Some may give you more time off. Like I think AEW pro wrestlers just have to work 2-3 days a weeks. And they could wrestle for other organizations WITH PERMISSIONS. Or even do MMA. Maybe even do submission grappling/catch wrestling on the side.

[@tichtran664]

[@CanaleAV]

This just reminds me how I'd like to train in catch wrestling sooooo bad. No one doing it in my neck of the woods though :/

[@tichtran664]

There are many organizations where you could learn catch or something similar to it. Like scientificwrestling.com. They list on it names of certified assistant coaches(kind of like black belt) or certified coaches(kind of like grand master), Snake Pit USA(with similar certification), the ORIGINAL SNAKE PIT WIGAN, etc. Snake Pit Wigan is run by Roy Wood the LAST SURVIVING STUDENT OF BILLY RILLY. Or even learn luta livre. Which is a brazilian form of catch(but mixed with some judo). While Brazilian jiujutsu is judo mixed with catch.

[@tichtran664]

Or learn Combat Submission Wrestling . It is a martial art based on catch. Since Erik Paulson studied catch under japanese pro wrestlers as well as billy robinson. Or even learn pro wrestling. Since pro wrestling is , minus the strikes and high flying moves, basically a staged form of catch. Shayna Baszler on her own youtube channel(Baez) said on the comment section in a article of whether the Askren vs Paul fight was a work: That she trained with both Josh Bartnett and Billy Robinson on both catch wrestling and pro wrestling. And she didn't learn any major difference in technique for the two grappling forms. Maybe with the exception of the striking and high flying pro wrestling moves.

The ankle lock is legit and embarrassing if you get caught in it. I got my Buddy who's a bjj blue belt in it once and hes been salty ever sense lol

[@PottsV1]

Can you clarify the line they always use that rolling the person over reverses the pain and puts the pressure on the person originally putting on the figure of four? I remember hearing one time that at best it may relieve some of the pressure but certainly doesn't reverse the pressure.

[@TheFightBible]

Yeah its bullshit, just written into the script that it reverses the hold when it doesnt do anything, the full pressure is still on the first person and then they just sell it that ric is in pain so he can escape to the ropes etc. The pain really is bad, i dont think it would break a shin but it feels like it could.
