Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Cross is dropkicked and falls on his back. He rolls backwards to get to his feet again and stands back up. He places a hand onto his chest and stumbles back two feet.*

(How does that go. Is it a hold from the front or behind?)

Three-quarters face lock

The wrestler stands in front of the opponent while both persons are facing the same direction, with some space in between the two.

Then, the wrestler moves slightly to the left while still positioned in front of the opponent. The wrestler then uses the right hand to reach back and grab the opponent from behind the head, thus pulling the opponent's head above the wrestler's shoulder.

The two-handed version sees the wrestler use both hands, and can be referred to as the three-quarter chancery, side head chancery or, most often, the Cravate. This hold is a staple of European style professional wrestling and technical wrestling influenced by European professional wrestling.

An inverted version of the cravate is used by Chris Hero as part of his Hangman's Clutch submissions in which the hand positioning is the same as a normal cravate but the facelock is connected around the face of the opponent, not from behind the opponent's head, thus pulling the opponents head backwards rather than forwards putting pressure significant pressure on the neck by stretching it backwards and in other directions the neck can not naturally bend to.

(Thanks for the detailed description.)

*Cross is caught in the cravate hold. His head bends back putting strain and pressure in his neck. Cross coughs and tries to pry Hero's arms off him to break the hold.*

(Its just Cross, no X necessary.)

*Cross takes the kick to the gut and hunches over.*

*Cross turns around and is struck to the chest by the dropkick, sending him down to the mat. he rolls outside of the ring to recuperate briefly.*

*After taking in some breaths Cross rolls back into the ring and stands up using the ropes for leverage.*
