10 Most Devastating Wrestling Submission Holds Ever

7. Cattle Mutilation

This is one of those wrestling moves that look legitimately painful when applied.

It certainly looks painful and it probably feels that way for the recipient as well. A move more commonly seen on the independent scene, Bryan has used this move sparingly in WWE; probably due to Vince wanting him to tone down the part of him that made him famous outside of WWE (how that makes sense is anyone€™s guess). While Bryan has maintained his gimmick as a submission specialist with the Crossface/Yes Lock, many feel that this maneuver is more up Bryan€™s alley than the one Chris Benoit famously used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZXxAwXW9UQ In any case, if Bryan were to start using this move again, he would certainly get more of a reaction from the crowd, though realistically he doesn€™t seem to be having a problem with that.
