Trivia
- Vice Grip's name refers to the vise, a mechanical tool which firmly holds an object that one is working on; although official English translations normally use American English spelling conventions, the move's name instead uses the Commonwealth English spelling of vice[1]. "Vise-Grip" is a brand of locking pliers and other tools.[2]
