#4 WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle may have been defeated by Tazz in the latter's deubut, but he didn't lose his form. Instead, he became one of the greatest sports-to-professional wrestling success stories.
Ken Shamrock originally used the Ankle Lock in WWE and when he returned to MMA, Kurt Angle grabbed the opportunity to make the Ankle Lock his own. Much of his WWE success was built upon him submitting his opponents with the hold.
Many great competitors like John Cena, Edge, and even Hulk Hogan were forced to submit to the Ankle Lock.
#3 Former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion Dean Malenko
Dean Malenko currently plies his trade in AEW, but he had a surprisingly long career in WWE before leaving for the Tony Khan-led promotion. He joined WWE in 2000. When he retired as a wrestler the next year, he remained as a road agent for the next 18 years.
Malenko's expertise in technical wrestling is widely known, and he wasn't known as the man of 1000 holds without reason. While the Texas Cloverleaf was his favored submission hold, he was able to dismantle and defeat his opponents with countless other holds. He did so with an ice-cold mentality, leading to him being termed "The Iceman."
