Just for the sake of asking, we have two similar moves here, both of which I like quite a bit. So which do you like better? Chris Benoit's Crossface:  Alex Shelley's Border City Stretch:  |

Crossface, depending if it's on properly, looks for more effective. May have something to do with Benoit looking like a beast and screaming sometimes.
Also like it when he just flat-out punches the dude in the face to get the move back on. Chris is a fabulous guy.

I love Benoit, but I just don't see how his opponent cannot slide his arm out from between Benoit's legs. I don't care how strong they want to say Benoit is, there is no way he could clamp down with his legs that well.

Especially when you can blatantly see that Benoit's legs aren't clamped on to his opponent's arm at all and the arm is just kind of "there". I havn't seen the crossface put on really tight for a long time. Benoit seems to be all about the arms and just forgets to use his legs too. |

the BCS is a combo Regal Stretch/Crossface.
But I just always loved the Crossface

I love the crossface but I gotta vote for the Border City Stretch.

Even from behind, the Border City Stretch reigns supreme.

Border City Stretch looks legit.

Benoit's T-Rex arms always make the crossface look more painful than it really is (remember Sid putting the crossface on people). The Border City Stretch looks damn painful with the arm being pulled like that.

Crossface the move looked so sick (in terms of submissions) when I started watching wrestling.

BCS. Anything done by Shelley is 10,000x better than a similar move performed by mere mortals.
