And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Not quite. The Irish Curse is a side slam backbreaker so there's no choke involved. I can't imagine anybody will ever get a chokebreaker while Sheamus is still doing his move though.

Michaels' Sweet Chin Music versus Shelton Benjamin.

Christ, JR and King's commentary on that match is amazing. You could watch it even now entirely out of context and believe it was the hypest thing to happen in decades.

It's not that kind of test.
I'm fond of Tyson Kidd's Dungeon Lock as a submission. I've also been enjoying Hirooki Goto's Shouten Kai. I'd seen Matt Morgan use it in TNA but Goto's is way better. Oh, and Aja Kong did a mean backfist.

That Kidd move makes me mad you can't create submission moves in wrestling games.

Seeing Shelton take the kick off the ropes never gets old...JR's commentary, the ref reaction & the dude in yellow all make it the absolute best :allears:

He's talking about "white noise" aka the emerald fusion with a lovely rename

Noticing a lack of love for submission finishers

I love when Jericho pulls off a proper Lion Tamer instead of a Boston Crab:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD7vJhRPwNM

I always mark out for a Texas Cloverleaf
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqO3TQhkcHc

I was a huge Bret Hart fan as a kid and one of the reasons why was the Sharpshooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku2HtEMkaG4

I'm kinda mixed on the Ankle Lock except for Kurt Angle's when he would grapevine the leg because then you knew it was over.

I never appreciated just how loving lazy Nash's powerbomb was until this video - as soon as the guy is close to up enough he just... stops and lets the guy fall at whatever angle

Kevin Nash? LAZY?

But yeah, like 90% of the Jackknife is momentum. It occasionally did look HORRIFICALLY unsafe. A few guys somehow even manage to come down sideways.

Nash took the effort to lift them up. What more do you want out of the guy? Do you know how much energy it takes to make sure your opponent doesn't land on his neck or head?

Other than the sheer laziness of it, the other amusing/terrible thing is that two-thirds of the time it's a run-in or after the match.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
