For this instalment of face 2 face, we have Sting's Scorpion Deathlock vs Bret Hart's Sharpshooter

The most controversial debate on this list revolves around the devastating Sasori-gatame. A heated debate was unleashed at WWE.com between those who favor The Scorpion Death Lock and editors who favor The Sharpshooter. Some argued that argued WCW’s face-painted franchise, Sting, applied the hold properly and with a bit more style – holding his hand in the air and calling for fans to cheer in support. Others asserted that WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hit Man” Hart made the move popular and is the most identified with the hold.

The two legends battled in 1998 and 1999, because of this very argument. The matches both have questionable endings and there was never definitive certainty over who applied the submission better. After lengthy arguments, point and counterpoints and running in circles, WWE.com decided this argument is best left to the WWE Universe.

Which is better?? or is there a third contender?? Malenko's Texas Cloverleaf?? Rock's Sharpshooter??

I have no real preference, but I guess I'll go with the Sharpshooter as I have enjoyed more Bret matches than I have Sting matches.

To be honest I always associated the move with Bret Hart. But both did very good jobs with applying them
