Who Did It Better?: The Sharpshooter
Thought I'd give this a try. Kinda like what the n00b did, but better. In this debate you select who was able to do the move best. This week we have the sharpshooter. Although Bret Hart is most commonly associated with the move, Sting and Ronnie Garvin actually used the move first.
Here we go. Bret Hart Sting Edge Natalya The Rock Chris Benoit Owen Hart Last edited by Triple Naitch; 09-25-2009 at 05:25 PM. |

Bret, for multiple reasons.
His looked the most painful, he could slap it on from a variety of different positions, and sometimes as a beautiful counter. Owen was second. Yet he isn't on the list. |

Bret's Sharpshooter was just technically perfect. It helps that his psychology with the hold worked so well too.

Bret Hart. His version of the Sharpshooter looked the most painful of anyones...
And here is the order of best to worst after Bret Hart who should be undisputed number 1... Chris Benoit Owen Hart Edge Natalya The Rock You might be wondering why Sting isn't on my list, we'll that's easy... STING NEVER DID THE SHARPSHOOTER! His move was the Scorpion Death Lock. I grew up calling that move the Scorpion Death Lock because I saw Sting do it first (though between the two of them I thin Bret did it first). But in my opinion Scorpion Death Lock > Sharpshooter ...honorable mention goes to Kevin Steen for his version of the Sharpshooter. |

Sting did it before Bret Hart, yes. One of the older jap guys (Onita, Choshu or somebody like that) invented it

I never liked the way Benoit did it. Looked as awkward as Austin's version.

Riki Choshu created it I believe... Or at least he made it popular.
And Bret does it best. |

Incidentally, why is Shawn Michaels not on this list? He DID win a WWF title with it...

As an aside, I've always been convinced that a) at least one Hart child was conceived in the dungeon, and b) I'd imagine Stu Hart to be absolutely frightening in bed, so either Helen liked it rough or he was just really hung...

Owen, also, Rock's was fucking horrible. Absolute shit. Noone should ever vote for it, and I remember how fucked off everyone was when he started using it, and butchering it.

All those are closer to Sting's Scorpion Deathlock than they are to Bret's Sharpshooter.

I went with Bret, but Nattie is a close second. Hers really looks vicious.

I'd blame Hulk Hogan for how bad Shawn Michaels' Sharpshooter is, his legs are just so damn stiff. That and since when is Shawn Michaels ever called "The Amazing" Shawn Michaels, what is he a fucking magician? I know the creator of the video is being sarcastic and is actually making a dig at HBK but why would he put amazing in quotes, and not Showstopper or something.

This answers easy, whenever I see ANYONE do a sharpshooter, I instantly think Hart.
