| Gotta give it to the submission.
Admittedly, a sudden swift finish can be very exciting - such as an Eddie Frog Splash, or an RKO - the RKO that won Randy the title came from nowhere, that was a great finish. Stunners are great, I thought the Rock Bottom was sweet because it was so quick.. and the F5 was one of the best finishers ever - took a couple of seconds to set up, was powerful, impactful, and looked painful enough to finish you off.
But an ankle lock finish to a match is unbeatable. Angle locks it in, the opponent wriggles, the anticipation of whether their struggle to reach the bottom rope will be successful or not, Angle's intensity.. and for that alone, submissions win. The Sharpshooter comes in a close second for the best submission finisher, but the Ankle Lock is just awesome. |
