10 Most Devastating Wrestling Submission Holds Ever

9. Rings Of Saturn

Also known as a Scissored Armbar, this maneuver sees the user clasp one arm with their legs, while hooking the other arm with theirs, then forcing a prone opponent onto their side. This move is so dangerous because it puts considerable stress on both shoulder joints and makes it difficult for the victim to breathe. Since most wrestlers are trained to take bumps on their shoulders, the health of these joints is vital; as such, this makes the Rings of Saturn a dangerous move for the long-term health of its victims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLpNsgv6tNg Others who have used this move include Elijah Burke, Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries, and Batista (during his brief MMA period). For Saturn, it€™s an impressive submission hold that certainly garnered him many victories. After all, a simple arm bar can be reversed or easily escaped; being prone and unable to use both arms is certainly a match-ending maneuver.
