Gouging?


I didn't think eye gouging was allowed in wrestling.

    1. At least the tassels weren't on shorts, which is something seen regularly in that era.

  2. From what little I've read of ancient Greek wrestling, all was fair including squeezing the scrotum and grabbing the dick. Don't know if the source was accurate or not.

    1. Somewhat of an urban legend. Such tactics were not allowed in wrestling, but did seem to be common in certain boxing types.

  3. Some think this move was the precursor to the metal folding chair.

  4. A little too far south for gouging. Jaw-grabbing, more likely, but love the way he's holding him!
