He'd mauled everybody, using shit ppl never seen used in a fight.. He would sub ppl with a full Nelson and tons of neck cranks.. He'd been very similar to Khabib at HW.. Tying ppl wrists up all while pummeling them .. Him and his brother are 2 of the All time greats in American wrestling, different breed..Apex predators among apex predators..imagine how many dudes he would have choked out with the ol "farm-aconda" AKA "Schultz Headlock"...
