10 More Wrestlers Who Perfected A Finisher On Its Owner

10. Drew McIntyre Makes Kurt's Ankle Hurt (Ankle Huuuurt)

Though the Olympic Hero wasn't actually the first person to unleash the most savage ankle submission WWE has even been exposed to - that honour belongs to the mighty Ken Shamrock - Kurt Angle is still arguably the name most synonymous with the Ankle Lock.

So, in what definitely felt like something of a passing of the torch moment back in late 2018, Angle instructed McIntyre to trap the Wrestling Machine in his own trademark submission on the back of Vince McMahon asking the WWE Hall of Famer to "make" his opponent in whatever way he could.

What Angle likely wasn't counting on in the midst of such a dominant display, however, was for a then-heel Drew to cinch in the move in a way that left folks genuinely wondering why he hadn't adopted the submission long before this brutal display.

After already hitting a pretty effective Angle Slam on its owner, a towering McIntyre yanked Kurt's ankle up to the heavens on Raw, making the hold look ten-times more savage in the process. The Scott then proceeded to wrap his gigantic thighs around Angle's helpless leg before viciously wrenching on the limb as the former world champion had no choice but to desperately tap.
