Like a lot of submission holds, the Accolade is an oldie but goodie given a different name. Even though its the Iron Shieks Camel Clutch, the Accolade seems just a little more lethal when Alexander Rusev locks it in.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
