Wiki definition: A wrestler stands in front of an opponent and locks his hands around the opponent, squeezing him. Often he will shake his body from side to side, in order to generate more pain around the ribs and spine. Frequently used by power wrestlers, this rather simple to apply hold was used by heels and faces alike.
