“At the @nwa OUR HEADLOCKS ARE EFFECTIVE WEAPONS THAT

-Allow a competitor to not aimlessly throw soft forearms and half hearted kicks that all sound the same.
-Actually work

EC3, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Worlds Heavyweight Champion, recently took to Twitter to express his opinion on headlocks in professional wrestling. According to EC3, headlocks in the NWA are effective weapons that serve multiple purposes.
In his tweet, EC3 highlighted three key aspects of headlocks in the NWA. Firstly, he mentioned that headlocks tell a physical story. In professional wrestling, storytelling is an essential element, and headlocks can be used to convey various emotions, struggles, and strategies during a match.
Secondly, EC3 emphasized that headlocks allow competitors to avoid aimlessly throwing soft forearms and half-hearted kicks that all sound the same. This statement suggests that headlocks provide a more realistic and impactful alternative to certain strikes commonly seen in wrestling matches.
Lastly, EC3 stated that headlocks in the NWA actually work. This implies that the NWA places importance on maintaining the authenticity of moves and ensuring that they have a genuine impact on the opponent.
EC3’s tweet encourages fans to chant #HEADLOCK and promotes the idea of a new era in professional wrestling. He believes that headlocks can contribute to this new era by providing a more effective and engaging wrestling experience.
