WWE: 10 Best Submission Finishers Today

By Scott Carlson /

10. Regal Stretch/STF (William Regal/John Cena)

The Stepover Toehold Facelock is a vicious hold when applied properly. It wrenches bends the legs and applies pressure to the knees and ankle while wrenching on the back and neck. And if Regal is applying it, he€™s probably trying to crush your nose at the same time. When done right, it looks like it legit hurts €“ the sign of a great submission finisher.Unfortunately, William Regal rarely wrestles these days, so the Regal Stretch is pretty much in mothballs, leaving the only version of the STF fans get to see being applied by John Cena. This is a lazy man€™s submission hold that only looks painful if you imagine that Cena is trying to squash his opponent€™s head like a grape between his biceps. So Cena drags down the average big-time on this.
