10. Ringpost Figure Four Leglock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWyALTlJf8 WWE diva Paige has taken to locking on her PTO submission on her foes whilst situated on the announce table in recent times. Whilst impressive from a visual standpoint, it doesn't really add anything to the move in terms of causing agony for the victim. A lot of submissions suffer from the same issue, such as Chris Jericho's Walls of Jericho. Again, it looked good on the announce table, but the point was lost. On the contrary, the ring post figure four leglock comes across as being a whole lot more devastating than the more traditional variant of the move. As a child (and even as an adult), watching Hart slap it on made me wince as it just looks so awkward and painful. Charlotte has used the move on one or two occasions, and whilst I wouldn't want for it to be overused, The Nature Girl should most definitely bust it out a few more times in 2016.
