Frank Gotch Step Over Toe HoldFrank Gotch's step over toe hold was the most feared submission move probably of all time. It could be applied quickly and efficently from almost any angle and few people knew how to defend it -- his opponents never knew what him 'em.
He used it to dispatch the likes of George Hackenschmidt, Benjamin Roller and Stanislaus Zbyszko.
Gotch, as masterfully trained by Farmer Burns had two main weapons: a precise execution of his moves and holds, and an almost superhuman level of conditioning.
