Yes oedipdx, I agree, I loved the classic tapes of Argentina Apollo, Antonia Rocca, Kevin Von Erich, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, Saba Simba (aka Tony Atlas), Rudy Diamond, Prince Iaukea, all of whom were good guys that used their bare feet well during their wrestling matches! Like flying drop kicks to the chest or face, flying head scissors, surfboards, armstretches (trapping their opponent’s wrist between their legs and putting one barefoot in their armpit and the other against the side of their face (I wish BWN wrestlers used this wrestling hold!) Or when their opponents attacked their bare feet with step-over-toe holds, leg locks, etc.
Storm is one of the few BWN wrestlers (Willy seems like he may follow in Storm’s footsteps) that truly targets his opponent’s bare feet, sniffing and licking the soles of their feet (like he did with Inferno and Cubano), and as we know Chris often agrees to have a foot on the side of his face, but not from the front covering his nose and mouth yet (hint, maybe it may happen?!!)
So of course, I love that BWN focuses on their wrestlers grappling barefoot!!!
