Nice Variation of the Muta Lock

Manami Toyota ties up the legs of Kyoko Inoue, and appears to be going for an Indian Deathlock. Instead, Toyota bridges back, and applies an even more painful variation of the Muta Lock.

This move just killed everything I thought I knew about physiology.

I have no idea. It's not really even a Full Nelson, as it's hooked around her neck, not behind the shoulders as a standard FN is.

This move just killed everything I thought I ever knew about Japanese wrestling. :D

@TheSuicidalDragon Do you know how to name this move technically? I know it's a Muta Lock, but what about the hold she apllies

[DomIstKrieg]

man, that looks painful.

@ThePoueff isnt cattle mutilation the other way around?

@TheGodfatherSahil12 yep! It makes me wonder who had the gimmick first (though her promos are very different, I'll grant that!)

@yaboylolo that seems very true in the matches I've seen, although if you watch big bouts from the 80's where the crowd looks to mostly made of school kids and teens, they are chanting and yelling (and making faces into the camera). of course, kids in any nation will not always follow the all the "rules" ;)

@KamiCaaze Traditionally, making noise and drawing attention in public is considered a disturbance and a shameful act in Asia, especially in Japan. That's why Japanese do not answer a mobile phone in a restaurant and they pretend nothing is happening and simply walk away when they notice something extremely unusual. That's collective society. They are taught to be obedient, submissive and to sacrifice oneself for the benefit of the whole (company and/or country).

@KamiCaaze Japanese wrestling crowds usually don't get wild like that; mostly for respect purposes, to the wrestlers. I think Raw did a taping in Japan and Michael Cole had to make that point to the viewers, who were likely wondering why the crowd was so dead.
