WWE: 15 Greatest Finishing Moves In Wrestling

12. The No Lock - Daniel Bryan

http://youtu.be/y429dqyofms The Lebell or No Lock wasn't made famous by Daniel Bryan but that makes it all the more special. Made famous by The Crippler Chris Benoit, Daniel Bryan saw something that he liked and ran with it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, especially when you take a move made famous by Benoit. For obvious reasons. Daniel isn't the biggest of guys but he is a GREAT wrestler. A submission finishing moves suits him perfectly. Being able to execute it on a man of any size makes this finishing move a worthy one for any list. He might not have made it famous but D Bryan has put The No Lock back on the map and it's here to stay.

11. The Ankle Lock - Kurt Angle

http://youtu.be/iBlDYpL34jc?t=2m29s The best pure wrestler on this list is none other than Kurt Angle. His finishing move the ankle lock has been copied by many but perfected by none, including Kurt himself. If so many people didn't make it to the ropes while he had he locked in then it'd be much higher on the list. The ankle lock is so simplistic that anyone can do it. That's what makes the move so appealing, it's easy to do and incredibly popular. The crowd pops when Angle lowers his straps down because they know what's next. Angle will forever be known as one of the best wrestlers to ever step in a ring and the ankle lock will always be known as his finishing move no matter who tries to use it. Sorry Ken Shamrock. P.S. Swagger stop using it. You're doing it all wrong.

10.Walls of Jericho - Chris Jericho

http://youtu.be/6x7E7dCNKsk?t=1m19s Now this move has been around for a long long time. The Boston Crab or Walls of Jericho is am old school finishing move. I was actually debating putting the Code Breaker on here instead of The Walls but a submission move is just generally more intense. Another classic move that can be used on a man of any size, The Walls is only one of Jericho's signature moves but once he slaps it on, you know it's over. Just like with any other submission finishing move, you can escape The Walls but Y2J has perfected it by slamming his knee into his opponents back making look at the more painful and devastating. Also I'm a big Jericho fan so what else would you expect, of course he made the list!
