Also if the other guy who's getting worked on, did a nip up or started doing irish whips after his leg had been worked on it wouldn't make sense.
Other things like working up to the big moves, i've seen too many feds with inexperinced workers not building up to a big move to pop the crowd. Take a look at most WWE matches, they don't really do any big bumps until towards the end of the matches, if you start off your match with a powerbomb it's going to be difficult to get the crowd to care about a similar finish at the end of the match (Ian, don't use the bam bam/Taz defense against me)
There's also the psychology with minds games and stuff that Raven, Jake and Pillman do, but i don't think we are talking about that
Psychology IMO doesn't mean one thing, it's the whole aspect of making it all authentic and above all make sense logically

Yeah, in that case Beniot would go for the Sharpshooter because it works the legs and lower back. While Beniot is the worst champion ever, he employs a few finishers to keep a good story in a match. You can tell he either will target the legs, or the upper body (neck and arms) during a match, and will use one of those submissions to get the job done.
