9 Times Wrestlers Used Their Finishing Moves In Video Games

And finally, we come to the Nature Boy himself, Ric Flair, who believe it or not appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's standalone expansion Uprising.

Flair is a hammy delight in the game's expectedly ridiculous FMV sequences, where he plays American soldier Commander Douglas Hill, alongside a bafflingly diverse cast including the likes of Malcolm McDowell, Holly Valance, Gemma Atkinson, and Jamie Chung.

But if you're wondering how a Figure-Four Leglock factors into all this, you need only turn your attention to the game's thoroughly demented marketing campaign.

To be completely clear, Flair doesn't quite get down to any in-ring action in the game itself, but it's basically close enough.

In several pre-release promos, Flair took part in a feud with a Soviet bear, the finale of which saw Flair slapping a damn Figure-Four on the Ruskie teddy for the easy submission victory.

What Naitch will do for money...
