Greatest Practitioner: Austin Aries Also Used By: No-One (yet!) The Last Chancery is the name used by Austin Aries for his modified version of a bridging arm triangle choke, a type of chokehold that originated from judo. The move takes its name from the front chancery; a type of standing headlock that is similar to an arm triangle. An arm triangle choke is a legitimately deadly move that involves a headlock that constricts the windpipe between the victims own shoulder and the arm of the practitioner. It is commonly used in MMA fights. Aries version, like the best pro wrestling holds, adds a dash more spectacle to the mix, as, once the hold is applied, Aries rolls forward in a flip-like motion, bridging his back and wrenching his opponents back and neck upwards at the same time. It looks awesome, providing an excellent photo opportunity. This is a hold that you can probably expect to see taking its place as a much-feared and widely used move in the years to come.
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!

I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
