Obviously not as nuanced/charismatic as Piper, but in the MMA world if you add some theatrics to arm barring the shit out of people, it tends to draw.

IMO what also helped her draw is she had a distinct "finishing move"--in MMA it's almost impossible to have a lights out move, just by its nature. But her Armbar was the most feared move in the world at one point.
