When people imagine complex, unusual, unrealistic submission holds that look like they really hurt, this is probably the first one that comes to mind.

The Surfboard stretch and its variations all look like they hurt a lot. After all, it looks like your arms, legs and back are all being stretched at once by one person putting immense pressure on all these body parts.The Surfboard stretch has been used by many wrestlers over the years, usually by smaller and more technically-skilled grapplers.

The most recent person to use this move was Daniel Bryan, who did this move to show off his technical skill at the expense of his size and raw power. But Bryan was only one of many people to have used this move long after Jushin Liger first popularised it over two decades ago.

Liger used this move against many of his fellow cruiserweights, and when he did so, it always got an intense reaction, even from the normally-silent Japanese audience.
