10 Wrestlers Who Shared A Signature Move (And Who Did It Better)

Some of the best finishing moves in wrestling are also the simplest. Just look at the Ankle Lock. While other submission maneuvers required a degree in both biology and physics to pull off correctly, this involved little more than twisting an opponent's foot until you they tapped or something popped.

Initially used by Ken Shamrock to double down on his MMA ties, it was also used by Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle. The main difference between the standard Ankle Lock and Kurt's slight variation - the so-called Angle Lock - is that Shamrock stayed low to the mat, while Angle was usually vertical.

Amazingly, even though these two were in the WWE at the same time - albeit briefly - we never got to see them duel it out in a battle of ankle destruction.

Who Did It Better? Ultimately, this comes down to style versus substance. Shamrock always looked like an absolute maniac when he had the move locked in, and his constant shouting/seething dialed up the intensity quite a bit. Every part of him moved except the parts doing the submission.

Angle, on the other hand, would wrench the hell out of his opponent's ankle and drag them around the ring until he had them writhing in pain. And on those not-so-rare occasions where he'd drop to his back and wrap his legs around their ankle, there was no question they were tapping.
