When I was a kid, they did lots of submissions and they were all very cheesy. Boston crab, scorpion death lock, figure 4 leglock, abdominal stretch, cobra clutch! The cobra clutch and the abdominal stretch are basically a standing twister and a Sargent slaughter grip.. Lol. Then they got into slams in the late 90's and 2000's. Stone cold stunner, rock bottom, etc. Recently with Mma being mainstream, they must do more realistic moves.
To this day the greatest pro wrestling move ever: Frankensteiner!
