Who used the Claw-Hold
Robert Bellairs
As a longtime wrestling fan (more "then" than "now"), I was thinking of all the
wrestlers who used the claw as a finishing move. The ones that come to my mind are:
Killer Kowalski
Fritz VonErich
Pampero Firpo
Baron VonRasche
I believe that Bulldog Don Kent used the claw on the carotid artery, whereas the others
used it to the face, or in Kowalski's case, sometimes to the stomach.
Can anyone out there add to the list of Claw-Hold users.

Later in his career (in the 1970's), Dick the Bruiser used the stomach
claw. I can't remember whether he used it as a finishing move though.
Claw memory: My most vivid memory of the claw hold was when Fritz
Von Erich issued a challenge that if anyone thought they could break
his claw, he would take any bet. The next week (these were TV
interviews) Joe Blanchard came out with a wheelbarrow of money (I don't
remember the the amount is was supposed to be - it has been TOO LONG).
While Blanchard was taking off his jacket, Von Erich hit him from
behind and put on the face claw. Blanchard juiced (as was the normal
result of the claw at that time) and Von Erich kept it on him until
several wrestlers came from the back. I guess I remember it so well
because I thought Blanchard was seriously hurt by this sneak attack.
A couple of weeks later, I went to my first match where I quickly
realized the true nature of wrestling.

If claw holds include that neck claw hold then count Killer Khan and
Terry Gordy as some of it's users.Also I think some of Samoans used the
one I'm talking about.Oh yeah I forgot it's galled the ASIAN SPIKE and
Meng uses it as well.It's kinda like the claw.Also mankind uses a mouth
claw that has a stupid name that I can't remember.

That's not a claw hold, per se, is it? Isn't it more of a thumb jab?
As someone else pointed out, way back when, the claw drew blood when it
was applied to the face, as in de Big Baron's Brain Claw. (Contort face
and snarl as needed) On local WWWF wrestling in Pittsburgh (when weekly TV
wrestling really was local), a big red X was splashed across the screen
whenr von Raschke applied the hold. Was this practice common elsewhere?
Anyone remember?
Also, and perhaps more important, if the claw drew blood when applied to
the face, why didn't it draw blood when applied to the abdominal area? For
the same reason that a thumb to the eye is temporarily blinding but a
thumb to the belly button is not? Hmmm.
Too bad. It could've been a good character gimmick: A mask-wearing
Filipino wrestler named The Psychic Surgeon.

days, they would put a big "X" over the screen when Mulligan was applying
the hold. I think Vince McMahon said it was too gruesome to be shown on
TV. Obviously, this was just a way to try to get fans in the seats when
the WWWF and Mulligan would come to town.

Kerry Von Erich used it in the WWF as the Texas Tornado on the top of
the head, it wasn't a finisher, but it was usually always a setup for
his 360 tornado punch that he beat Mr. Perfect with to become

There was a wrestler in Mid South (or, more accurately, the promotion that
was to later change its name to Mid South) called Baron Karl von Krupp,
who used clawholds to the head and the stomach. He also used a variation
called the "eye claw" which was similar to the head claw except that he
dug his thumb into your eye socket at the same time. Owwie! Anyways,
I assume this is the same guy who in other promotions was known as
Killer Karl Krupp (not sure of the spelling).
Also, lots of the oriental wrestlers over the years, Kabuki and Kendo
Nagasaki to name a couple, used various "nerve holds" which could be
classified as claw holds. Does Hulk Hogan's 'rake to the back' count? ;-)
Also, I think Jim Duggan should work a claw type finisher into his
repertoire. It could be one of those moves that is magnified by 10x when
your hand is taped. ;-D

Killer Kowalski in the 50s and 60s had one of the best "claw holds".

I totally agree. Stevie (and the Blue Meanie) has a lock on my ballot for the

The Great Kabuki had a variation of the claw that he applied under the
arm...some sort of nerve hold.
Duke Keomuka had a great stomach claw. He and Fritz Von Erich used to
have "claw vs. claw" matches. You had to win the fall with a claw
hold. Everyone thought that Fritz could just use the Iron Claw to the
head but he tricked Duke Keomuka and won the two out of three fall
match by applying the stomach claw.
There was a guy named Killer Karl Kos that used to wrestle Fritz all
the time around Dallas-Ft. Worth that had a variation of the claw that
he called the temple....something.... hold. He applied it by pushing
the first joint from the knuckle on his middle fingers into the
temples and twisting or exerting pressure.
One of the best TV interviews I remember at the time was when KKKox
cam out and said he had built himself up to where the Iron Claw
couldn't hurt him. He had a C-Clamp in his hand and placed it on his
head and started tightening it up around his temples. About this time
Fritz came on camera and hit him and then started to tighten the clamp
more until at the time I thought he was going to kill the guy. Then he
ripped the clamp off and applied the Iron Claw. KKK was laying on the
ground behind a table and you couldn't see what was actually going on
until KKK got up and you could see the juice running.
As with otherw that have replied to this thread have mentioned about
other wrestlers, when Fritz started using the claw the would black out
the screen and say it was just too violent to watch ...so you would
buy tickets to see it in person. Later they started showing it on TV.
I really like the idea of the red X on the screen that others had
mentioned......more dramatic= more ticket sales.
