English term or phrase: Hey, Masked Tiger, are you in the mood for a good throttling?
A wrestler taunts another by saying "Hey, Masked Tiger, are you in the mood for a good throttling?"

Does it simply mean "Are you in the mood for being suffucated?" or is it an elaborate/slangy way of saying "Are you in the mood for being beaten?"

Thank you!
