So much struggle and power screaming through the bow tie apparently i did some weird cut loose move with foot swinging behind on the crux (i personally blocked that out)??! Anyhow, as usually, short person beta is a right heel hook same level with the hands to reach the bowtie hold with right hand, then bump to right gas-ton It was a surprise send for sure...haha
