10 Most Devastating Wrestling Submission Holds Ever

5. Koji Clutch

Koji Clutch Many wrestlers have used the Reverse STO as a finisher because it€™s quick, simple and relatively safe. However, if any of those users, including Cody Rhodes/Stardust, Ken Kennedy, Muhammad Hassan and others, ever wanted to show off more technical skill, then the best way would be for them to transition from STO to the Koji Clutch, which is a very cool-looking finisher. Submission moves add an air of technical skill and danger to whoever uses them and the Koji Clutch is no exception. Created by Koji Kanemoto, the user wraps one leg across their face-down opponent€™s neck, while hooking their hands behind their victim€™s head, with one arm passing over their own leg and the other under it. The user then pulls backwards with their arms and forward with their leg, squeezing the recipient€™s head and applying considerable pressure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKSzr6iaLIE It would be interesting to see an increase in submission moves like this one in WWE, especially since their use adds a lot of excitement to otherwise boring matches. Many of the top Superstars in WWE have at least one go-to submission hold, and more often than not, as soon as that hold is locked in, the crowd goes wild.
