It’s a restraining hold but when applied properly it puts pressure on the head and neck, enough for the victim to lose consciousness or die if locked in for long enough, depending on the power of the user.

Source?

It’s a legitimate restraining hold that can knock you out of enough pressure is applied forcing your head down towards your chest.

Enjoyed it for the mess that it was. Really nice to see some of the wrestlers reactions to performing in front of actual fans, but imagine being in that crowd :dread:

Also WWE trying to flog NFT's! :lol: And they say this company is out of touch.

I've just been reading up on what on earth it even is: https://www.theverge.com/22310188/nft-e ... to-art-faq

I saw the trailer for it during NXT TakeOver on Thursday and I had no clue what they meant by an NFT.

I can just imagine someone trying to explain this to Vince McMahon in the board room.

Looks like night 2 could be at risk as the weather is supposed to be even worse tonight.

Aside from the crowd noise being very quiet in parts throughout the night, from a television perspective most of the time you’d never have known the stadium was 70% empty. Social distancing was just nonexistent around ringside.

Jericho on Broken Skull Sessions is a great watch; AEW Championship and name dropping Tony Khan on WWE :o

Please have a future ‘proper’ invasion angle.

I didn’t realise this had aired already, thought it was after Mania night 2.

I thought exactly the same, wonder with the weather shenanigans they’ve bumped it up, brought it forward. Just went on the Network pressed play and it came on 8-)

Great banter and conversation between SCSA and Jericho, should be 4 hours not 2 :(.

I thought they did a pretty superb job of hiding it, and the crowd I felt were surprisingly noisy for such a large stadium at about 30% capacity. Aside from a few botches, they did a good job of production and it looked like a normal Mania.

Whether the lack of social distancing was a good idea or not I guess we will find out in a few weeks. I'm guessing the risks are quite low given it was such an open stadium.

Given the unpredictable weather, and having work, I'm not going to be staying up for night 2. Bit of a shame as I liked the live thoughts on here last night, but I can't stay in bed until lunchtime again!

Well, looks like night 2 is going ahead. The show is kicking off the with Ortin/Fiend, it’s pretty bright there now, I don’t think the Fiend will really work in daylight :slol: Good lord, I wonder how many face lifts Jerry Lawler has had at this stage, think I see a nipple on his chin :slol:

As far as I could see WWE didn’t use any carpet on the ramp. I think he’s playing up to his new ‘know-it-all’ heel persona (that he only seems to wheel out on IMPACT WRESTLING programming).

They’ve announced on the Pre show that Orton vs Fiend is kicking off Mania tonight. Getting the gooseberry fool out of the way early.

Looking at the Apple weather app it looks like it should be clear sailing from here.

Have they ever explained what a “Nigerian Drum Fight” actually is? Drums surrounding ringside?

JBL trying not to laugh his arse off as Booker T attempts to explain what a Nigerian Drum Fight is. JBL: ‘Nothing myself or King can say without getting crucified on the Internet’

So stupid.

I'm watching the preshow and man alive, JBL, Booker and Lawler can barely contain how much they hate Peter Rosenberg, can they?
