10 Most Devastating Wrestling Submission Holds Ever

3. Surfboard Stretch

Used by: Jushin Liger, Daniel Bryan, various luchadores around the world When a non-wrestling fans tries to imagine what a €˜wrestling hold€™ would look like, this is one of those holds that are most likely to come to mind: a weird-looking hold that appears to cause serious pain to its victim. The user of this maneuver places one foot above each of their victim€™s knees, bending their legs up while hooking them around the user€™s own knees. Then, the user grabs both of their victim€™s arms and falls backwards, compressing the victim€™s shoulder-blades. Often times, the user will lift the recipient into the air, rendering them incapable of escaping and being stretched very painfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_fAxY2-g44 Other variations of this move also include crossing the arms around the victim€™s throat, performing a camel clutch instead of pulling the arms, or converting it into a Dragon Sleeper combination hold. Whatever the case may be, Jerry Lawler is spot on when he says in response to seeing this move, €˜the human body isn€™t meant to stretch that way.€™
