The Cobra Clutch. Also known as a cross-arm lock or cross-arm choke. The wrestler stands behind the opponent and uses one arm to place the opponent in a half nelson. The wrestler then uses their free arm to pull the opponent's free arm across the opponent's neck, thereby using the opponent's own arm to choke them.
This hold can also be used as a throw; after grabbing the opponent in the clutch, sitting down and dropping the opponent on their back, using their hands as "handles".
The Figure Four Leglock
The wrestler using this move stands over the opponent who is lying on the mat, face up and grasps a leg of the opponent. The wrestler then does a spinning toe hold and grasps the other leg, crossing them as he does so and falls to the mat, applying pressure to the opponent's crossed legs with his own.
This move was made popular as the finishing move of "Nature Boys" Buddy Rogers and Ric Flair, who sometimes adds to it by twisting his opponents ankle as it is locked in.
A wrestler may counter the figure four by rolling over on to their stomach, which applies the pressure on the original applier's legs. This counter to the figure four is often called a modified indian deathlock or sometimes referred to as a sharpshooter variant.
The SharpShooter
The opponent starts supine. The wrestler steps between his opponent's legs with one leg and wraps the opponent's legs around that leg. Holding the opponent's legs in place, the wrestler then steps over the opponent, flipping him over into a prone position. Finally, the wrestler leans back to compress the legs.
The Anaconda vice (also spelled vise) is done from a position in which the wrestler and the opponent are seated on the mat. The wrestler sits on one side of the opponent and using his near arm encircles the opponent's head and grabs the opponent's near wrist, bending the arm upwards. Then, the wrestler maneuvers his other arm through the "hole" created by the opponent's bent wrist, and locks his hand upon his own wrist, then pulls the opponent forward, causing pressure on the opponent's arm and neck.
The hold was innovated by New Japan Pro Wrestling star Hiroyoshi Tenzan after a training excursion to Calgary to train with Tokyo Joe.
In a variation called the Anaconda Cross the opponent's other arm is also trapped as it is wrapped over the opponent chest, and pinned under the wrestler's arms. This variation was also innovated by Hiroyoshi Tenzan.
Another variation involves both arms being held in a similar style. While a wreslter is laying on his front, the attacking wrestler performs a double inverse hammerlock, crossing over the forarms and wrists behind the opponent's back. Wrestlers have then been known to use this position to move into a headlock, or a leglock. The version of the move was first developed by Steve Wilson and was named the Double Inverse Hammerlock Crossover, or the Hammerlock X-stretch.
