Finger wrestling, or “fingerhakeln”, used to be the way the men of Bavaria settled disputes back in the 17th century, but now it’s just an obscure sport that draws hundreds of strong men to the German region, for the annual Finger Wrestling Championship.
Before the final match, the American coach came to the wrestler and said. “Now don’t forget all the research we’ve done on this Russian. He’s never lost a match because of his “Pretzel” hold he has.
Whatever you do, don’t let him get you in this hold. If he does you’re finished. The wrestler nodded in agreement.
Now 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 went up from the crowd, and the coach buried his face in his hands for he knew all was lost. He couldn’t watch the ending.
Suddenly there was a scream, a cheer from the crowd, the trainer raised his eyes just in time to see the Russian flying up in the air. The Russian’s back hit the mat with a thud, and the American weakly collapsed on him getting the pin and winning the match.
The coach was astounded! when he finally got the wrestler alone, he asked “How did you ever get out of that hold? no one has ever done it before”
The wrestler answered “Well I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold, but at the last minute I opened my eyes and saw this pair of balls right in front of my face. I thought I had nothing to lose, so with the last of my strength I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as i could. You’d be amazed at how strong you get when you bite your own balls!”
