Don't get me wrong, I actually find this new persona quite enjoyable: His promos come off as more "human" while still containing that demonic atmosphere to them, which keeps him fresh without having to completely revamp himself (such as the case during the biker phase). So if his retirement is imminent, I'd rather see him go out in style rather than becoming stale and forgotten.
On the subject of submission holds, doesn't he have two in his arsenal? I know one is that triangle choke 'Hell's Gate', but didn't he also use a sort of standing dragon sleeper at one point in his career?

Hells Gate is a modified gogoplata, not a triangle choke. His Dragon Sleeper is called Taking Care Of Business.
