Again, I don't know if this thread has been done before, probably has, but I was reading about the LeBell Lock on WWE.com, and looking at the history of Gene LeBell and pictures of the hold, it looks pretty painful. So now my question is, what submission holds do you consider your favorite and why?

I'd mark every time if Dibiase did this sequence as his finisher

Probably my favourite would be the abdominal stretch, always looks painful. But i could list quite a few others to.

It's a shame Cattle Mutilation isn't the finish, but the LeBell Lock is actually the better submission hold. Mostly because it looks VICIOUS. That and anything that gives respect to wrestling history and mma history is a huge plus.

Back in WCW Sgt. Pitbull Pitman used "code red" the cross armbreaker, or an arm bar. It's the best submission there is because it can break your arm in less than a second. The more basic the hold the better. I'd also like to see somebody use a knee bar in WWE, but thank you Alberto Del Rio for using my favorite hold, and doing it well.

Also gotta give major props to The Undertaker for nailing the gogaplata, awesome maneuver and so random for him to use.

And if anyone would ever use a legit triangle choke that would be sick too.

I'm sure, at some point, Daniel Bryan Danielson will use this hold... :shifty:

What's the one Randy Orton uses to keep down wrestlers who aren't gentle with him in the ring or don't sell his RKO the way he wants them to? Oh yeah, "The Stroke."

Dean Malenko's Texas Cloverleaf
Edge's Edgecator
Lance Storm's Canadian Maple Leaf

Del Rio's armbar roll.

I like that WWE are bringing submissions back, with Danielson, Del Rio, Taker, and a few others.

Sharpshooter - Owen Hart style with the victorious arm raised in the arm.

Hells Gate - Especially when a mouthful of blood happens.

Kurt Angles Ankle lock - The tribal scream and especially when he hits the ground and snakes the leg.

Million Dollar Dream - Is a sleeper a submission hold?

Lion Tamer - Old school all the way.

Rings of Saturn looked brutal

Anaconda Vice - Only because its a Punk move and its rare in WWE.

The Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter will alway be my favorite submission hold. It looks (and is) extremely painful, it's the type of submission that can be "played with" in a dramatic sense (bottom guy crawling desperately for the ropes while top guy scrunches up his face in desperation), it's been used by two of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and I used to put my friends in it all the time in grade school.

Scorpion Deathlock/Sharpshooter - Riki Choshu, because he invented it.
Anaconda Vice - Hiroyoshi Tenzan does it better than CM Punk.
Cattle Mutilation - Keiji Mutoh used it way before Danielson did, check out Starrcade '89.
STF - Unlike John Cena, Masahiro Chono learned it from the master, Lou Thesz.
Lion Tamer - Lion Tamer rules Walls of Jericho anyday.
Fujiwara Armbar - Do not mess with the master, Yoshiaki Fujiwara.
Crippler Crossface - Dean Malenko used it way before Benoit.

Liontamer
Sharpshooter
Tazmission
Dragon Sleeper
Rings of Saturn mostly because of instead of locking the face, your locking the arms and then pulling back.
Ankle Lock when used with a grapevine hold since it prevents the other person from moving around and making it look weaker than without the grapevine lock.
