The correct title to this thread is "Best finisher in a real fight". Cheers for butchering a classic.

DDT all the way.

That's about the only legit submission move I can think of to be applied in a street fight. This includes variations as well.

People have used the figure 4 leg lock to torture enemy combatants to get info off them, but I doubt you can do it in a street fight. :shifty:

You misunderstand the point of this thread. I'm talking about moves that have basically been turned into mid-match moves at best. In a match there are all sorts of moves that won't even get you a 2 count but, in real life would end a fight legitimately in seconds.

This isn't about how awesome match finishers are cool to see in a brawl...completely different thread.

What?

Ya, in fact its usage was so popular at one point that former soldiers-turned-novelists used it as a device in many books. Robert Ludlum comes to mind immediately, for one.

The Bourne Royal Rumble is my favorite book ever.

The one where he eliminates 29 other Soviets to face off against evil mid-east terrorist honcho at WrestleBang?

Yes, that one.

Good read.

Sleeper hold should always be countered by jaw-breakers.

What if the assailant is behind the target and pulling the target's head behind as he applies the sleeper? Unless the target manages to twist around and use the hands or the feet, it is tough to get out. If the assailant manages to hook the sleeper around one of the target's arms in a Tazzmission variant, it gets all the more difficult.

Big Show's Knockout Punch :shifty:

The Brogue Kick

I think a back-breaker could probably really hurt someone if done legitimately.

The Peoples Elbow

I don't imagine someone dropping an elbow onto my solar-plexis would feel very good.

crossface

Anything Blackman does ever. Times 5.

Blackman knows martial arts, dude.

Blackman IS martial arts, bro.

Blackman would end a fight before it would even start with the Gaze of Doom!

Rikishi's Stinkface?

Did they call it Figure 4 Leg Lock?

it was a Book End

Yup.

Yeah, that would pretty much do it... And add a table for effect...

Lol my sig is fantastic


Anyways, popping somas. That seems to work.

Pearl River plunge :shifty:

The Punt could pretty much kill you irl. But that's not the point of the thread...

Not off-topic at all. Yes, it was treated as a "finisher" but, kicking someone in the temple would definitely end a fight in real life. I just don't see someone just sitting there for the long drawn-out set-up.
