What do you, the membersĀ of World Wrestling Everything, think was the greatest signature submission in WWF/WWE history?

edited by sephy37: took out the poll. dude don't limit their responses. if they have an opinion then let them say it and not have them "pick" from a poll.

crossface chickenwing does it for me. Bob Backlund perfected it and made it famous, and Bryan Danielson uses it today helping him be the best wrestler in the world today.

also the whole "most effective" isn't the best phrase. most effective how? by getting wins? wrestling is fake, and most moves like the Ankle Lock, Figure Four, Crossface Crippler, etc. aren't that "legit" if you know what i mean. unless you are speaking of UFC/Pride or MMA in general, then most of the moves that pro wrestlers use shouldn't be considered.

I made a guy in the army tap to the Crossface Chickenwing.....So that move can bee effective.

I have also done that one move Matt Hardy did in ROH,aĀ Doubleunderhook with the leg scissors..minus the leg scissors...And that move can be painfull seeing how I'm picking you up by your arms and bending them in they should not bend.

The Crossface Chickenwing will always be an effective hold to mention, and although Danielson himself does it very well, nobody can do it like Bob Backlund.

Another really effective submission hold to use is the Dragon Sleeper.Ā  If you manage to lock that thing in all the way on someone, they'll be in some serious pain with their neck titled back so far.

Gotta go with a three way tie for my personal pick - either the Border City Stretch, Regal Stretch or Royal Mutilation (basically, the high angle Fujiwara armbar Paul Burchill used to use before being turned into Jack Sparrow - he made that move look utterly brutal).

I think I saw Undertaker apply a Triangle choke.Ā  That is very effective in real life, if its locked in it's good night.

Just like DD said, Dragon Sleeper is one of my favorites. It really bends the back and the neck and its a really painful hold.

I also think Boston CrabĀ (Walls Of Jericho, or evenĀ Single Leg Crab that Lance Storm uses)Ā is a really painful hold if you do it to perfection. Call me crazy, but myĀ cousin and I do matches with each other and I always seem to win with that hold. He hates it so badly, he throws stuff at me just to break the hold. :lol:

Gory Special/Hold -- Stretches your body like nothing else.

Dragon/Beast Sleeper, as others have mentioned.

Haas of Pain -- It seems fairly easy to get out of, but if you can't, that'd hurt.

Boston Crab -- Simply awesome. Incredible pain to the thighs & back

I say the STF is the strongest.

Or u can call it the STFU for u John Cena fans, but Stone Cold did a good job of using it.

But I have to say, I am the best at doing it......just kidding!:P

Samoa Joe is better at doing it. Joe does it the most effective cuz he'll usually go from Powerbomb > Pin > 1 > 2 > Kickout > Hold on to lets > STF > Crossface > Chokes B*tches

From a kayfabe standpoint, either the Crippler Crossface, Sharpshooter, or the Cross Faced Chicken Wing.

Legitimately, i'd say either theĀ Crippler Crossface, Tazzmission, The Guillotine,Ā Dragon Sleeper, Cattle Mutilation, Full Nelson, or Liontamer/StrongholdĀ Ā would be the mostĀ the most effective.

Crippler crossface, Shamrock's ankle lock, and my favourite, Bret Hart's sharpshooter. That was awesome.

What about the Masterlock? lol I know it sounds stupid but if you've ever been in that Full Nelson/Masterlock hold and you can't break out it hurts like hell.

If I understood that correctly...you are are wondering what Chris Jericho's finisher in WCW was... correct...? If that is the case...the answer is Liontamer...

If we're talking about a real life fight then you would be suprised how well a full nelson works after you lock that in you put pressure on the other persons knee and they will fall to their knees (or on their face) and will be unable to escape.
