Russian wrestler
A Russian and an American wrestler were set to square off the Olympic
Gold Medal match. Before the final match, the US wrestling trainer came to
his wrestler and said "Now don't forget all the research we've done on this
Russian.? He's never lost a match because of this "Pretzel Hold" he has.?
Whatever you do don't let him get you in that hold!? If he does, you're
finished."
The American wrestler nodded in acknowledgment.? As the match started, the
American and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an
opening.? All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward grabbing the American
and wrapping him up in the dreaded "Pretzel Hold."
A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the trainer buried his
face in his hands, for he knew that all was lost.? He just couldn't watch
the inevitable happen.? Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the
crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go
flying up in the air.? His back hit the mat with a thud and the American
collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning the match.
The trainer was astounded.? When he finally got his wrestler alone, he
asked, "How did you ever get out of that hold?? No one has ever been able
to do that before!"?
The wrestler answered "Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that
hold, but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of
testicles right in front of my face.? I had nothing to lose so with my last
ounce of strength, I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as
hard as I could."
"So," the trainer exclaimed, "that's what finished him off!"?
"Not really, said the wrestler, you'd be amazed how strong you get when you
bite your own nuts."
