#8. The Figure 8 - Charlotte Flair
Type of Maneuver: Leg submission hold.
Trending
Who invented the move: Charlotte Flair, who modified the Figure 4 Leg Lock with an additional bridge.
Description: After first applying a figure four leg lock (step over toe hold, spin, and knee hammerlock) one bends backward into a bridge, increasing the pressure on the knees tenfold.
Strengths: Devastating submission, hard to escape.
Weaknesses: Can only be performed effectively in the ring, complicated setup and execution.
The Figure 8 submission hold used by Charlotte is an upgraded modification on the traditional figure four leg lock. Charlotte developed the move as an homage to her famous father, while also attempting to improve on his legacy. It is the only move Asuka has tapped out to in her entire WWE career, giving the move additional prestige. Ric Flair would surely approve!
