10 Iconic Wrestling Finishing Moves You Didn't Know Were Stolen

Oh yes, we're going very old school with this one. The Camel Clutch was the backbreaking rear chinlock The Iron Sheik used to make jabronis humble. It looked incredibly painful because it is an incredibly painful hold.

And while Sheikie Baby would love to tell you that he was the be-all and end-all as it pertains to the Clutch, that would be a load of hacktui.

The move was actually invented by Gory Guerrero, who you might recall is the man who spawned Eddie and Chavo Guerrero.

Gory was one of the preeminent luchadors, learning the ropes of Mexican professional wrestling back in the 1940s. Some time in the late '40s or early '50s, Guerrero introduced the anguish-inducing La De A Caballo, which was then mutated into English and called the horse-mounting choke.

So yes, the Sheik's famous finishing maneuver actually predates his time in the ring by a solid thirty years, but at least the Sheik can take credit for giving it a name that doesn't immediately give you the willies. Way to go, Sheikie Baby.
