So, friends, from Compton's Encyclopedia, this is the head scissors that so many of us are turned on by.

Some years ago, I met one of my favorite opponents for the first time in the basement of an old middle school. Upstairs a basketball game was going on. I met this big man outside the game. He worked at the school, which was near where I live, and he guided me through the dark to a back entrance. We stripped down to our trunks and wrestled. At one point I had him in a head scissors like Bockwinkle and Race begin with below. And suddenly the image of this old Compton's head scissors came to mind, and I could immediately envision how to switch from my standard head scissors to this luscious one from the encyclopedia. I said to my guy, "Hang on, I'm gonna try something." And I made the switch, natural as you please. Man, did my body thrill at finally being able to feel what I'd looked at and fantasized about for so long! 

Here it is as applied by Gene Kiniski on Giant Baba. Unlike the other holds below, in which the wrester in charge makes a quick switch from a standard head scissors to the "head scissors and arm hold," watch Kiniski go straight to the hold.

Hey, ref, how 'bout you get out of the dang way?!

Harley Race v. Terry Funk

Race's version of the hold is elevated, rather than lying heavily on Funk's body like the other holds depicted here.

Watch Race make the switch, which is done here slowly enough so that we can see how the grip with his legs changes from one version to the next.

Below is the head scissors in a match between Warren Bockwinkle and Wilbur Snyder. I think it might be my favorite, although the Race/Funk version is darn hot.

Watch this to see how Bockwinkle makes the switch between the two head scissors versions. I'm guessing that this is how the head scissors in Compton's developed. Although I suppose Black in the picture could have put White directly into the hold like Kiniski does Baba above.

Don't you wish we had a video of the Compton's Match?

I don't want to spoil anybody's MvM fun, but if you're into female wrestlers . . .

She's got it going on!

 

The Head Scissors and Johnny Weaver

I'll not say anything about being away and just be back without further comment (but with a hope that somebody is still out there reading).

At times when I need to be accomplishing the most, I procrastinate too often by scouring YouTube wrestling videos in search of any head scissors holds that matches might include. I've found a lot, but I've wasted a lot of time as well.

This morning, I was going through some old shows of the wrestling program I grew up watching--Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Back in the day, in pre-cable times, I could watch this once on Channel 4 out of Greenville, SC, after Saturday morning cartoons and before Saturday afternoon college sports. Then I could see it a second time that night, after the 11 o'clock news on Channel 13 out of Asheville, NC. I watched both shows always in hopes of seeing a head scissors and always in hopes of seeing my favorite wrester--Johnny Weaver. So, again, I was going through some Mid-Atlantic shows from 1981 and '82, and this one show just opened with the first match already in progress. Not only that, it opened with a head scissors already in progress. It gets better. Although I didn't remember the wrestler in control at that point in the match (I later learned his name was Ken Timbs), I quickly realized that the wrestler being worked over by the head scissors was Johnny Weaver.

Here's a screenshot of the match as it's picked up in progress:

I was immediately excited.

Weaver then rolls toward Timbs's feet and then onto his knees and works himself free of the hold. He lunges to take Timbs in a headlock, the counter to which puts him right back in the head scissors.

But then this shot of Weaver in the head scissors and looking, more or less, at the camera--at me--made my insides squirm and my crotch suddenly throb. Although brief in the video, this is such a visceral image for me.

Reader, I masturbated.

I've had these images up on my screen almost all day, and the throbbing has continued.

Here's a link to the video.
