Whats all the fuss about the anaconda vice?
 

Yeah, it was cool when Punk was using it, but everyone's marking out getting all excited about seeing it again at Breaking Point.

What was so amazing about it?

I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that noone (other than Cena) has a submission move that actually ends matches. Has a kinda Old School feel to it.

^ This

Also it comes down to the fact that now with him really being Main Event now there's some bigger guys he'll be dealing with. Not everyone can go up for the G2S. It adds another dimension to his move set.

I'm shocked it took this long to bring it back. But happy nonetheless.

A fourth reason I think is that it's simply something that is a big part of his days in the indys. Anytime WWE acknowledges or agrees to acknowledge something from someone's pre-WWE days I think people just get excited.

walls of jericho is the best submission move of all time.

Taxas Cloverleaf

He got Snitsky up. Shouldn't have any problem getting anyone up except Khali, Mark Henry and Big Show.

I would love for him to finish Taker with the triangle choke he does where he throws mad elbows. That move is devestating. lol owuld never happen though.

second that

I smell a poll..best submission move....just a thought. Crossface IMO btw

Barely Legal is the best submission of all time. I wish someone like Knox would bust it out.

Rep for anybody knows who used that move as a finisher.

Barry Darsow

Bingo. That was a kick ass submission that looked painful as fuck.

lol k, this is going to be next to impossible to find. Let me do some detective work.

@ 4:50 although he doesn't hook it in all the way. lol i can't find Darsow winning a match. I friggen LOVED Darsow. His loud mouthed gimmick was the shit

It's part of any gay crush that wrestling fanboys have on any of their darlings that suck ass. Their underperformance is always due to something that's supposedly being "held back," be it forcibly by WWE or any other reason. With Punk it's the AV. Watch, he'll do it a few times, and then it'll lose its shine pretty quick.

Ah Tedious, the whiney vagina of the wrestling forum

lol

Wow. You're some kind of god damn genius to figure that out.

Well that's staggering.

I used to enjoy your posts, Tedious.

No words... should have sent... a poet.

:lol:

Remember that japanesse guy I told you Punk was taking the vice from and you asked who the hell is that,

Yea, that guy innovated the buffalo sleeper too.

Well thats a damn shame.

Yeah, don't lose any sleep over it.

Barely Legal. I'm telling ya. Money.

I'm not gonna "fuss" over the vise, but the GTS is kinda duumb looking. I'm not saying it wouldn't be effective to drop someone off your shoulders and have their face his your knee, it just doesn't impress me. I saw a couple of vids of it looking good, but most versions are lame as shit.

It really does rank up there with the Playmaker and Styles Clash in the list of moves that are theoretically devestating yet have next to no impressive visual effect.

Is this the same as what he did when he beatdown Jeff Hardy? That would be cool to see Undertaker submit to that.

Honestly, it's all up to the recipient to make it look good. KENTA's usually looks good, because his opponents are willing to actually take it pretty stiffly.
