The original name of the hold is sasori-gatame which translates to scorpion hold in English
Could be true but who knows. There's probably footage somewhere of someone doing the move in 1953I've always wondered if there was a luchador in México that actually came up with the move. Bret always credited Konnan for teaching him the hold and to be honest, most wrestling moves were invented in México anyways so it wouldn't shock me if Chose got it from somebody else
This is a bait thread. OP is trying to weed out those of us in gang who remember Sting using the Scorpion Deathlock while Bret was still a tag team wrestler.
Truthfully it could have been someone random like El Dandy or Sangre Chicana fukking around in the ring and stumbled into it.I've always wondered if there was a luchador in México that actually came up with the move.

El Dandy and Sangre Chicana were not randosTruthfully it could have been someone random like El Dandy or Sangre Chicana fukking around in the ring and stumbled into it.
Youre right breh. I meant like it could literally be anyone in lucha and it wouldnt seem out of place. Imagine it was El Dandy though? Jam up guy that oneEl Dandy and Sangre Chicana were not randos
But yeah, I could totally see that being the case.
