#1 The Figure-Four Leg Lock

The Figure-Four Leg Lock

The most memorable submission move of all time is without question The Figure-Four Leg Lock. This move was largely responsible for enhancing the reputation of Rick Flair. The theatrics Flair added while applying this move made spectators "Woo" in collective pain when he applied it to a writhing opponent.

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Bret Hart used a variation of The Figure Four Leg Lock to great effect. The intrigue of this move almost certainly has had most wrestling fans try out the move to determine whether or not it was indeed painful.

This has remained by far the most memorable submission move embedded in every wrestling fan's mind. One of the unique things about this move is that there are very few maneuvers to counter it once applied. For that, it certainly takes the crown as the best submission move in the WWE of all time.
