Kynlee’s dad, Scott McFetridge, said he first learned about his daughter’s ultimate wrestling move when he picked her up from school and saw she was on pink -- not good -- on the school’s color-coded behavior chart.

McFetridge said the teacher was laughing as she recounted Kynlee's headlock, and it took all he had in him not to laugh too.

“I was trying to be a good dad and reprimand her, but it was pretty hilarious,” he said. “It was hard for me to stop laughing and put her in timeout but we made it happen.”

McFetridge started wrestling with Kynlee when she was younger as a way to help her gain strength and coordination. She was born with a heart condition that required her to have open heart surgery at just 5-months-old.

It’s not like I taught her [a headlock],” McFetridge said. “I was just trying to get her stronger and coordinated and I guess she figured out what I was doing and I didn’t really realize she learned it.”

McFetridge described his daughter as a “firecracker” who is wise beyond her years. He said Kynlee recognizes that putting a classmate in a headlock was wrong and that she and Jack are still “really good buddies.”

McFetridge joked that he just hopes Kynlee remembers the headlock move as a teenager.

“Every dad wants their little girl to put a headlock down on a boy, especially one who had a rough start like her,” he said. “Hopefully she can still do that in about 12 years.”
