Form of restraint possibly making lad choke? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headlock

'form of restraint' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'making lad choke?' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates an anagram.
'lad'+'choke'='ladchoke'
'ladchoke' is an anagram of 'HEADLOCK'.

'possibly' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for headlock that I've seen before include "Wrestling hold" , "Grip" , "A way to control" , "Form of restraint" .)
