And that's why I don't like the spot. If it were real Scrull would be in the list of most dangerous wrestler, but it's just a thing he does. And I like Marty. I like his gimmick, it's just the finger break spot is just immersion breaking

Doesn't y'all's boy Pete Dunne do it too?

Actually a big reason why I hope Scurll doesn't go to NXT/WWE, I'm afraid they wouldn't let him use that spot...

No, he does the whole finger manipulation, but he does it in quite a safe way if you watch. Except where he bites.

But I don’t think they let him do the bite on WWE TV.

I don't get that name...Never have. Is it just "Pac" like "2pac" . or Pac, like Pac-man.

What's it supposed to mean or be...if anything? Or is it just some kind of abbreviation?

i asked the internet. The story is that ever since he was a kid, he's had a 6-pack, so his dad used to call him 6-pac or just pac, and that ended up sticking til today.

I'd actually place the blame for the immersion-breaking on overzealous announcers trying to sell things too hard. If announcers had originally portrayed it as a dislocation it would still be painful but still fixable (as Aleister Black did in a recent match when someone did that spot to him).
But I definitely agree with you in principle, and because it has so widely become known as a "finger-breaking" spot, I agree that it shouldn't be done unless it's going to be followed up on in an intelligent way both during the match and afterwards (think Raven breaking Dreamer's fingers).
Also, I could be wrong, but my understanding is that at least in North America and Japan (if not Germany as well) small joint manipulation has usually been portrayed as illegal, and thus really shouldn't be allowed outside of the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa (and maybe one or two other non-Canada commonwealth countries I'm forgetting. I realize India has had wrestling in the past and I don't know much about it, but my understanding is that it was less British-style than you would expect so it might not be legal there, either).

The way Nigel puts over Pete Dunne doing it makes me think it's illegal in all places where more technical wrestling is the norm. The reason why it seems region specific to us as Americans is because that is very much not the style here and didn't really become that way until British wrestling started drawing in the US.

Don't forget that Nigel was actually trained in the US.

The European style was always around if you knew who to look for (Quackenbush, Hero, Dragon, and eventually Doug Williams, Claudio, Ares, and Sitoci came over and started doing it with them), but even when people would do the that style here or in Japan, I rarely ever saw any stuff going after fingers.
