Different. He picked his opponent up by the neck from a standing position. That’s not a normal choke hold.

Really shows how jacked he was if he could pick up a nearly 200 lb dude with one hand

His strength comes from his vampire hunting days.

There it is. Came looking for this reference.

Edit: meaning I came here. Not that I actually came. You know what, just, just deal the cards.

Doesn’t say anything about one hand either.

It seems Lincoln’s go-to move and possibly secret to success was to simply close his hands around his opponents windpipe and shake him in the air until he went limp.

That's kind of terrifying tho, just pick him up strangle them a little bit and then toss them down once they're limp. Brutal Mr president.

Once he was sure they were dead he released his grip and allowed the body to crumple lifelessly to the floor of whatever wilderness setting these matches occurred

abe using his combined height and strength to strangle his opponents off the ground is such a terrifying thought. no wonder so many people were so intimidated of him lmfao.

That and he would growl wordlessly through his teeth. So loudly, in fact, that the birds would go silent for hours afterwards

He once ripped a man in half, from skull to groin, and exploded his still beating heart with a single glance. He was quite embarrassed, as he didn't mean to; but the man was a slaver so it was a net positive overall.
