New leg submission
« on: December 22, 2018, 06:57:23 PM »
Well, it is new to me.  Found this while browsing old territory programs.  First time I have ever seen it.  Looks cool and I can imagine a number of scenarios where the wrestler can apply it out of nowhere on his opponent.

Interesting.
I'd never seen that before...

Although, I'm reminded of of another leg-lock that I saw Triple H perform a number of times back around the early 2000's:

Judo Gene Lebell's book Pro Wrestling's Finishing Holds (1985) has hundreds of pro wrestling holds most of which are never seen anymore in the squared circle.  I think that hold is in the book.

Another person did that in WCW a while.  It's like a side laying figure four.  I will try to find it.

Disco Inferno did a standing version of it.

This also reminds me of Dean Malenko's finisher: "The Texas Cloverleaf," or Lance Storm's finisher (I forget the name).
It had ALL the qualities and attributes of a "great finisher."

Dean could hit that move on anyone of any size ANYWHERE.
Compare that to a finishing move like Austin's: you could do it ONLY in the ring, or with "protection."
