I don't really like KnotToughEnough - it doesn't really evoke the trope for me. The description is also poor.

What about KnotSoTiedFight?

As for a description:

When one character is literally tied into a knot or more. It might involve only the limbs or the whole body, but it's generally anatomically impossible (unless one includes broken bones), so almost always played for humour.

Possible page quote:

-->"As I foretold, you have annoyed me." Moments later, my arms and legs were tied up in knots. Square knots, to boot. I hate square knots--they're not natural to the human anatomy.
--->(Creator/EricFlint, ''[[Literature/JoesWorld The Philosophical Strangler]]'')

Literature:

* In the Literature/JoesWorld books, Greyboar the strangler is renowned for tying enemies into knots, especially their necks, and takes a professional pride in making each knot a different one. He also sometimes ties his foster brother and agent, Ignace.
