There's no pressure on his knee because the submission is being done wrong. When you lie perpendicular to your opponent, it doesn't work. This is for show. The foot has to be close to the body at a 180 degree angle. That breaks the leg.
The indian deathlock was a great submission hold that sadly has faded from the world of pro wrestling. Ric Flair told the story recently how 2 modern era WWE wrestlers were planning a match & they wanted to use the indian deathlock, but they had to ask Flair how to apply it because nobody else knew.
Wow this is without a doubt the lamest video on YouTube.. You guys seriously talking about this move and how to apply it? This is as fake as it gets. This is like when in pro wrestling someone grabs another guys arm while there standing and starts twisting it with no leverage and the other guy acts all hurt. Get a life there's absolutely no reason to watch pro wrestling when mma, wrestling, bjj, sambo etc are out there.
@Rastegarmma The Indian Death Lock is actually a move that can be used in the grappling arts (bjj, sambo, catch wrestling, etc) along with mma and is very effective when done properly. Albeit, the move done in this video is clearly fake and isn't actually causing pain to the 'opponent', the Indian Death Lock is an actual effective move which is derived from catch wrestling or "catch-as-catch-can" (as are many pro-wrestling moves).
@Rastegarmma If pro wrestling is so lame then why are you here watching a vid of it then jackass? Did you just come here to share w/ us that you think wrestling is stupid? Do you have nothing better to do w/ your time then troll wrestling vids? Obviously not. Maybe if you were not such an obnoxious, friendless loser you would.GFY!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is lame. I can't believe people are arguing over whether or not this move would hurt and can be escaped. A move that requires your opponent to be lying flat on his back with his legs out and no resistance. A stomp to the face would be more effective.
This can hyper-extend a knee, if it slips down you can break and ankle over the shin.
Like all great pro-wrestling holds, there are ways to apply this without harming the other guy and ways to cause a horrible injury. A "work" is two people carrying a match, wrestling AND putting on a show. They aren't trying to hurt the other one, especially since they would work the match again and again on tour.
@Orton2008V2 I totally agree as ive done and had this move done to me. Race was nice in the respect that he wouldent stand up completely once it was locked on thats where most of the pressure comes into play
now for those who says it's fake, there are videos on youtube that show this move as a legitimate MMA submission. It is real. Maybe not exactly the way they do it in this video, but it is very, very close.
actually heard this from a pro wrestler; wrestling is not fake, it's entertainment. it has always been about putting on a good show for the fans. imo today tho there is entirely too much poor acting and over the top drama.
@themyelinsheath No, we don't do you believe that reality TV show are real moron? Why do you idiots constantly feel the need to enlighten us that pro wrestling is just entertainment not true competiton? We know its fake they told us so 20 years ago. So save your breath dickhead!
for your information, you retard, it hurts like a bitch and it's nearly impossible to get out of. So, unless you've had it placed on you and you know what it's like then shut your big mouth. If someone put that hold on you there's no way in hell you could say that it doesnt hurt.
just wondering, if funk were to sit up and roll on top of him wouldn't he easily get out of it? Or is there something stopping this from happening. Trying to visualize this in my head, but not really seeing it. P.S. Yes I know it's fake & all, but just wondered why he couldn't just reverse
The two wrestles in this video are Terry Funk and Harley Race. This is Race ending Funk's 14 month long reign as N.W.A. World's Heavyweight Champion, starting Race's second of eight title reigns. If you're interested at all in pro wrestling, you should check out their work. There's more of it on youtube.
@mikebryson This match took place at the Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. Excellent match, which was typical for these two. Two of the greatest workers and toughest men to ever lace up the boots.
Hey, this is real. I grew up in STL, when Harley Race, Rick Flair, the Funks, the Von Erich's, Von Ruscke, and Dick the Bruiser made their bones at "Wrestling at the Chase." The Chase Park Plaza Hotel in Saint Louis. And, oh. I'm a master of the figure four.
Watching a champion being forced to submit their title is one of the best sights in wrestling. The submission hold is locked on, the agony begins...pride and misery compete until the champion's will breaks and a submission is screamed. Awesome...
@paolotagliano Spoken like a true idiot. These two are Hall of Famers, Terry Funk and Harley Race. They've forgotten more about wrestling than you'll ever know...
Great video. This was from 1977, and it was Race's second NWA World title victory. This goes back to when wrestling was something special, not the bloody cartoon that it's become today. Thanks for posting!
It's a real hold, that really hurts, and can do real damage used safely in a "fake" sport.
