This is a side headlock. Before guys would open their matches with 20 back and forth super kicks they would utilize this hold which would allow the wrestlers to get a lot of face time with the fans and get over their character.

This was during a time when psychology mattered in most places and the DDT was a match ending hold. Ricky Steamboat took a DDT on the cement and they played it like he was dead.

You'd like Jonathan Gresham, OP. He still does the fundamentals.

It's a move that marks you as a fake tough guy wihout a clue what youre doing. You wont see a serious mma guy do a side headlock if he can avoid it. It's a useless move. You cant significantly hurt the opponent with it and he'll lay in body shots if you put it on him. Worse, if/when the hold breaks, the guy usually gets a free shot on your head. Starting the fight with it is an embarrassment that exposes the business as fake.

How is it a false equivalency? Neither move is good in a real fight. Grow a brain.

The way "wrestling" is now today, only the purists can do holds. The typical setup of a televised wrestling match won't allow such an opening to be common; you're told to get all twinkly flippy flop routines and literally all your shit in before 5 minutes is up.
>muh canadian destroyer but I am the table dood
Guys don't even go over their spots anymore at a comfortable pace, they call them on the fly and you see all the botches due to it, because the opponent is unsure wtf is coming to him.

That's my thing. There's a lot of fast paces matches I like. But even just 15 years ago indie guys took a lot of pride in doing their moves well, not just having the idea to do the move.
All these wrestlers today and their fans grew up being given participation trophies and now people post gifs of them botching dives as a reason they should be signed or pushed. Cause the important thing is that they tried.
