It was a smaller circle than the one I had wrestled in but it was a circle and I went to work. I turned him around and pulled him to me, put a half nelson on him, forced his neck down. The circle opened up. There was a free space at the bar and I drove him forward, drove his face into the side of the bar. I moved my hand down his back and between his legs, picked him up and held him there, feeling his weight above my head, feeling the power in my muscles and I threw him to the floor. I wiped my shoe across the blood, lifted my foot and brought it down and brought it down, triumphant, foot on the back of a fallen opponent like a classical statue, like in the pictures my college wrestling coach showed the team at the beginning of each new season. White marble figures graceful in victory.\" --from Headlock\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146552721648,"sku":"9781565127487","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781565127487_p0.jpg?v=1763790620","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781565127487","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
