There is an illegal moved called the 'Hackenschmidt'.
Does anybody else know that move? Can you describe it?

George Hackenschmidt, The Russian Lion," was a bodybuilder and championship wrestler around the turn of the century (1900 LOL)

Not sure this is the move but a piece of art you can buy: The wrestlers are engaged in "the double bridge" move; wearing dark briefs, socks and one of the men wears shoes

hahaha...
Yeah... Not sure if that is 'the move'..
But I understand it is perhaps putting in a 'double half nelson' in the standing position or on the mat.
I could be wrong!
