WWE's Top Submission Stars

[Travicity]

WWE has a video looking at the Top 10 WWE Submission Superstars of all time at www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKO5CRJ7ISE.

The list is:

10. Tazz
9. William Regal
8. Sgt. Slaughter
7. Daniel Bryan
6. Dean Malenko
5. Chris Jericho
4. Ric Flair
3. Bob Backlund
2. Kurt Angle
1. Bret Hart

Interesting was Bret Hart putting over Ric Flair (given what they have said about each other publicly in recent years) while Daniel Bryan buried Flair's use of the Figure Four saying he didn't win a lot of matches with the move and wouldn't have rated it near the top.

who the fuck is Daniel bryan to comment on Ric Flair. Just because he won a couple of matches in the Indys doesn't mean he can talk shit.

Surprised Taker's choke isn't there

Well, he's not wrong. I don't recall seeing many people actually tap out to the figure four, whereas the others on the list all had submission moves that were actually finishing moves.

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

maybe because everyone was doing it but Flair legit made people tap

[Konan]

chris benoit?

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

chris benoit?

child murderer

[Metalitia]

Should have topped the list.

That's what you meant to put right? :P

[bigdaddybaughman]

im suprised dean malenko isnt atleast top 5 and i also agree regardless what happened in his personal life benoit should be there because of what he did in the ring

[Dilph]

Thank God they did not put Cena's STFU in there.

[Kage]

Cm Punk should be on there...

[Smartmark]

child murderer

Have you ever thought about actually shut up?!

Benoit should be number 1 on the list!

Bret Hart over Flair and Angle? :no:

[mikedudelang]

The WWE is so intent on erasing their history, I'm shocked they even included Taz, Angle and Flair.

Bret Hart over Flair and Angle? :no:

Do you know there's more to life than just fake pro-wrestling?

Flair has made loads of people tap out to the figure 4...back in the 70's and 80's. But fuck, for the life of me, can't remember one person he's made tap out since.

As far as Bret being number one, totally agree. The Sharpshooter is possibly one of the great submission moves ever.

What I don't get is, Sting should be on that list, even knowing he's never been in the WWE, the Deathlock was pretty much just like the Sharpshooter except Bret hooked the legs a little different and made it look better.

As far as Benoit goes...well...shit...he should be #1 on the list. His move works so well he actually killed two people with it.

BOO!!!

Okay okay bad joke...but it's made me smile today!

Okay, that made me laugh... am I going to hell?

*Waits for the inevitable "you'll probably see Benoit there" comment.*

No, McMahon wanted to make him still feel relevant by letting him win a few matches against up and comers and bury them in the last 10 years. Look at him now, no one cares......

Jericho should be in top 3, assclowns!!

same :shifty:

[muzi]

Ähm...Dean Malenko should AT LEAST be TOP 3...

[Metalitia]

Although this is a topic on a "fake pro-wrestling" forum in fairness.

[Smartmark]

^^ True :P

Dean Malenko should absolutely be higher on the list.
