I have dragged people backwards with a hair pull. I have seen a friend of mine drag a guy across the ground by his hair. Which are things you couldn't really do with just head control.

So there would be some sort of specific tricks with hair pulls.

I used hair to secure a hammer lock from time to time.
Ditto. On the hammer lock control, not on the dragging someone around, that's undignified. For me. I was not terribly concerned about the dignity of the "ejected" by that point.

I don't believe any of the fights on Jerry Springer are real. If you ask me, I would say they're about as realistic as pro wrestling.
Wait... are you saying that wrasslin' aint' real?

I am all about the hilarity when it comes to ejections.

I was so young when I was bouncing, I tried to make it all about intimidating onlookers so that the reputation would do most of the work, later on.

This is terribly sexist, too, but it did have a certain ... effect on the other gender, and I was not immune, nor unaware, of that effect at age 21. Apologies. Misspent youth.

We had a competition there at one point to see if we could pull off a dance move while dragging someone out.

I never did a style that taught hair pulling but it can still be a very effective fighting technique. Maybe some styles should incorporate it.
When I teach self-defense applications, I always tell my students "Where the hair goes, the head goes. And where the head goes, the body follows.......unless you are attacked by somebody wearing a wig." :)
