7 well-known WWE stars with submissions as finishing moves

There are different ways to win a wrestling match in WWE. But nothing beats the pleasure of seeing your opponent tap out. Tapping out could be seen as a sign of giving up or reaching the limit of endurance. And pushing your opponent to such boundaries is much better than just knocking him out and counting till three.This might be the reason why many superstars in WWE history took up submission moves as finishers. While some of these wrestlers fail to climb the ladder, others reach the top with such finishers. This list is going to take a look at those big names that have or had submission finishers in their arsenal.

#7 Chris Benoit's Crossface

It's a shame that WWE completely buried the existence of Chris Benoit. Despite what he did, Benoit was one of the best in-ring workers in wrestling history and delivered some classic matches. All of these are overlooked due to the way in which his life came to an end. The reason for Benoit's inclusion in the list is the Cross face. As a youngster, I was amused by the move and rightfully so.

It was an incredibly painful submission move and there have been some variations over the years. There isn't any exact origin for the move and it could be anyone's invention. But one thing is for sure, it was Benoit who made it famous.
