 Submission wrestling yo. It looks like Cena is cuddling and stroking Shows head, not trying to choke him out. |

I have seen worse sleeper holds. It looks hard to do right it really seems like a move where when you make it look real it is to way to easy to make it real.

That isn't a sleeper hold, John Cena is just threatening to do the dreaded neck snap neckbreaker, notice how the hand hovers around the chin of the Big Show, one quick move and the Big Show gets a faceful of Cena's stomach and a sickening crack.
I'm shocked Cena was allowed to tease such a dangerous spot on WWE television.

I didn't watch Raw, but holy shit that looks bad. I honestly don't know how wrestlers can make holds look that shitty given how they otherwise do a decent job with strikes and such, holds should be the easiest thing to accomplish in wrestling. I understand that Big Show is well...big, however he still has plenty of arm room to hook the neck better. It looks like he's going for more of a head vice.
Then again, Cena has never been a great submission guy. I remember when he made Benoit instantly tap from a very shitty STF, after Cena himself was in a great looking crossface for what seemed like forever. So maybe the shittier the hold, the more deadly it is from Cena.

The top guy in the company for the past 10 years yet he still constantly makes submission moves look like crap.

His STF often looks really loose as well and Steve Austin called him out for it on his podcast when John was a guest.

Since that podcast Austin has said that he brought the subject up with him again and plead with him to 'snug that sum bitch up' because he is the face of WWE and he should set an example to have the holds look good. Austin says Cena told him he agrees and that he will work on it. |

How do you f*** up a Sleeper that badly? Was the pic was taken as Cena slipped off Show as he went down to a knee or something?

Considering how horrible his STF looks like, what did you expect?

I'm amazed at how bad his STF constantly looks and how he doesn't know how to tighten it up or make it look better.

I think what I hate about it is it shows a lack of care for the craft and making it look somewhat real. Though granted, maybe it was him trying to lock it in, but still, it's just lazy.
