#8 Sting's Scorpion Deathlock
When Sting debuted in the NWA, he had a lot going for him. Powerfully built, with great size and speed, Sting seemed to have all the aces. But for all his brute strength, he also had one of the sport's most technical submission holds, the Scorpion Deathlock.
Originating in Japan as the Sasori manoeuvre, Sting was the first westerner to make it popular. Since Sting leapt into a feud with Flair and the Horsemen, his Scorpion Death Lock was seen as the perfect match for Flair's figure four leglock.
A modified Boston crab, the Deathlock has also been used by such illustrious names as Bret Hart (who calls it a sharpshooter) and Dean Malenko (who positions the legs in a figure four variant rather than crossing them.) Here's Sting still looking good decades into his career.
