Now, I probably don't know if someone has started this topic before on this, or any of the wrestling forums that we have been on in the past, but I will make a new one anyways. Here are my top 3 favorite submission moves....

1: The Crossface Chicken Wing: Placing your left arm in between your opponents arm and his back, while having the right arm across the face and neck, then locking the fingers together while having your legs grapevine around the opponents waist.

2. The Lobell Lock: It a combination Crippler Cross face, while at the same time, it has a "figure four leg lock" affect on the arm and shoulder.

3. The Dragon Sleeper: A relentless attack on the neck and shoulders. But the true way to perform this move is if you grapevine the legs around the waist as well.

Ankle Lock. Simple, brutal, effective.

In all honesty, the Crossface Chicken Wing never looked that painful.

- Lion-tamer
- Mexican Surfboard

the Koji Clutch
the Octopus
Mr. Salty

It doesn't, but when applied correctly, it hurts like a bitch. I know...

I would say the Master Lock is also very effective since, even though it's basically a full nelson, will relentlessly attack the neck and shoulders and could very well make you pass out due to pain imo.

I thought the masterlock was cool, simply because he had figured out a way to make e routine sunmission hold seem like a credible finisher.

Chris Masters is the first person since Hercules Hernandez, that I've seen, do the Full Nelson, and make it seem impossible to get out of.

him and Chelsea, =))

My brother gave me a full nelson once and I was feeling it for a week every time I'd turn my head. Since then, I've always seen a full nelson as a credible submission.

I've always thought that the inverted cloverleaf was a sweet maneuver and I've liked the Undertaker's Hell's Gate submission since he first debuted it.

1. I taught the Masterlock to mine and Cactus's friend Chelsea and she executes it perfectly! She put it on this douchebag at a bar one night and dropped him into a Bubba Bomb (inadvertently; drunk off her @$$); it was HILARIOUS! It's def effective, though I don't like it in pro wrestling.

2. The inverted cloverleaf is awesome! Cattle Mutilation is another one that is very unique, very painful if you can pull it off....

The problem with the Kondo Clutch is that, after seeing Melissa literally bend MsChif in half and make her stomp her own head with it, all other versions of the move just look weak by comparison.

The Haas of Pain also belongs in this category

Hass of Pain is one that I completely forgot about. Another one that comes to mind is one that doesn't have a name ( at least I think it doesn't). Bull Nakano did it to Alundra Blaze in a match. She had her legs set up to do a Sharpshooter, but instead of Bull turning over to where her back was facing Blaze's, she placed Alundra's foot underneath her stomach holding it in place, and then their placed her in a full nelson. Bad Newz has seen what I'm talking about. For those who want to actually see what I'm talking about, it's on the Greatest Superstars of the 90's DVD collection. I would say its a Sharpshooter, Camel Clutch, Full Nelson, for lack of a better term. But it looked awesome.

This is the match that it happened in. The match is great period. It would have been better if she locked her fingers together.

1. Kondo Clutch/Gorilla Clutch

2. Vertical Muta Lock

3. Inverted 3/4 Figure-Four Leg Lock (doesn't look pretty but hurts like a BITCH, especially if you do it with a surfboard)

4. CHIKARA Special

5. Stretch Muffler

6. Lion Tamer

7. Ankle Lock with a Body Scissors

8. Joe's Choke/Coquina Clutch

9. Crossface Chicken Wing (one of my personal favorites to put on my little cousins, makes them squeal)

10. One I think I innovated myself (probably not, but I've never seen it) is the Leg Trap Full Nelson. You put them in a Full Nelson as usual, but you hook one of their legs as well. It hurts like hell, and you can follow up with a suplex and make it look nasty.

Didn't Theone86 come up with something like this for Mark Roberts in the EWA?

Dunno.

Another that comes to mind that is a classic, but a favorite. The STF (Step-over toe-hold face-lock). Not the STFU, but the way Masahiro Chono did it when he was NWA Champion.
