10 Wrestling Moves So Awesome They're Actually Unbelievable

4. The Brock Lock

Exhibited here against a perfectly-pitched Rey Mysterio, The Brock Lock saw 'The Beast' using the power of his own biceps and absurdly muscular neck to pretzel up some poor c*nt that dared to step into his path.

If you're now wowed by the obscene strength on display, it's impossible not to be devilishly delighted by the sudden shape of the victim. Not least considering the youthful exuberance of the 26-year-old WWE Champion.

Lesnar's the sort of wrestler nobody ever escapes from without taking severe punishment. Post-2012, his opponents can at least be grateful that he left this technical (but no less devastating) hold in the distant past.
