take take alert: the figure four and sharpshooter are bad submissions

The sharpshooter ruled because you could just sit on your buddy's lower back and really gently caress them up with pain when the backyarding eventually turned into a shoot

My favorite part of a figure four is REVERSING THE PRESSURE

Sorry I missed the survey, but would "stolen" count as a modifier? e.g. Stone Cold hitting a Rock Bottom on Rock and vice versa

Hell, I'd allow it. But if you got that granular, everybody but Nova would have a stolen *x* finisher
