My Namesake
Ed "The Strangler" Lewis
Quote:

"The 'Strangler' term stuck to me, because early in my wrestling career, I originated a headlock, being convinced that the human brain would yield to pressure, and that if such pressure was consistently applied, it would constitute a knockout just as sure as a solid punch to the jaw by a hard-hitting boxer. I devised a wooden facsimile of a human head. It was split down the center, the two halves connected by powerful steel springs. To increase the power of my grip, I carried this gadget with me, and worked on it for hours, until I had developed a grip that could crack a skull, and would certainly stun the recipient. But it was not a stranglehold. Never in the course of my long career was I disqualified for seeking to strangle an opponent, by putting pressure on the throat. The pressure was on the head, through the jaw. It took a bit longer than a hard-hitting boxer's blow to the jaw, to effect a knockout, but it had the same result. Pressure cut off the blood supply to the brain.

Did the first line about his early wrestling career give it away for you as well?

Yes, but as clearly stated we are talking about Ed "The Strangler" Lewis, so I fail to see the point of what you are trying to say...

Oh, I wasn't making much of a point...I was merely asking a question.
