The Walls of Jericho works in MMA too. Make em tap maaaaaaaaaan

[puppetmaster]

Watch Jonno Mears channel WWE's Chris Jericho with a Boston Crab; what's next, a Camel Clutch?

WWE superstar Chris Jericho uses a modified elevated version of the hold as his signature finish, “The Walls of Jericho.”

Today in Manchester, England, at Full Contact Contender 19, Jonno Mears forced Aaron Jones to tap to the seldom, if ever, seen-in-MMA hold. And he stuck his tongue out while doing it, 90 seconds into the first round.

Hmm...I've actually read a Jack Slack article where he talked about this move.

But I thought that it was an illegal move....something to do with it being an attack on the spine if I recall.

And I don't think it was done as literally as this guy...

Somehow he got the tap though....

Edit :

 

[CBoz]

dude tapped too.

Shows that some wrestling submissions are legit.

The guys just don't go all out.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

This would have been super legit if he screamed "ASK HIM!" while he had the hold locked in

Letting a grown man put you in a Boston crab in a real fight....Might as well call that man daddy, n let him run your bath water

Try a full nelson in a real fight and see what happens....

It was my go to hold as a bouncer. Drunk people never saw it coming until too late

Now granted I have a freakish wingspan and could catch damn near anyone with it but still.

And also drunk people are generally good for striking only, countering grappling maneuvers without a clear head is a challenge unless someone is trained to the point of it being second nature lol

Well, if you have someone's back I think you could use it to transition to a lot of chokes. Or if you have a long wingspan and you're strong like @puppetmaster it's just demoralizing to be held down or thrown down with a full nelson
