Big Book of Wrestling Moves definition: Scissor Lock, Body
Used by : Kevin Von Erich
Description : The attacker locks their legs around the body of the victim and applies pressure.
Wiki definition: A wrestler approaches a sitting opponent from in front, behind, or either sides. The attacking wrestler then sits next to the opponent and wraps their legs around the opponent, crossing their ankles and then tightening their grip by squeezing together their thighs or straightening their legs to choke the wrestler by compressing their torso. This hold is often used in conjunction with a hold applied to the head or the arms in order to restrain the opponent.
