A wrestling move where the wrestler sits on the back of his opponent, who is face down on the mat, and places the arm or, more commonly, both arms of the opponent on his thighs. The wrestler then reaches around the opponent's head and applies a chinlock and then leans back and pulls the opponent's head and torso.
A camel clutch can also refer simply to a rear chinlock while seated on the back of an opponent, without placing the arms on the thighs. The move was invented by Gory Guerrero in Mexico, where it was called la de a caballo (Horse-mounting choke), but got its more common name from Ed Farhat, who wrestled as "The Sheik" and used it as his finisher. The late WWE Hall of Famer The Iron Sheik also used it as well.
A standing variation of the camel clutch is also used, with this variation popularized by Scott Steiner in the late 1990s as he used it as his finisher dubbed the "Steiner Recliner". Steiner's nephew, WWE wrestler Bron Breakker, also uses the Recliner as one of his finishing moves.
Current All Elite Wrestling wrestler Miro also uses the camel clutch (which he formerly named as "The Accolade" during his past WWE run as Rusev) which he currently calls as the "Game Over".
