Who Has the Better Snap Down?
Anyone who has seen Chris Bono wrestle knows that he can handfight with the best on the planet.  The former Iowa State national champion is known for his solid positioning from neutral, his constant forward pressure and his snap to front headlock/go-behind...he's got a a great high single too.  In this video, Bono shows to pressure forward, pressure forward (etc.), and then when his opponent starts to match his pressure by pushing back, he snaps his opponent from the triceps while side stepping out of the direction his opponent is being snapped to.  Bono parallels this movement to that done by a matador whenever he moves laterally to avoid a charging bull.  

I know Tyrone Lewis' technique is phenomenal as well.  More versatile than Bono technically, Lewis could use his speed and athleticism to hit moves others could not. Lewis was a great leg attacker, but he was a fantastic handfighter as well, and many of his secondary attacks were effective against the best.  I just found this misdirection action snap down in our Tech Wave library.  It's awesome.  Check it.
