Last night's sharpshooter was the best looking one I've seen in 10 years easy. Micheals sat down and cranked that sucker hard. It looked like Randy was in legit pain.
I really like good sharpshooters, and that was one of the best I've seen.
I just thought that needed to be said. That was the most painful looking submission I've seen in the WWE for quite a while too.

I thought it looked awful, personally.

It looked horrible compared to Brets, but it was better than the safe version that puts no pressure on the back and just sorta holds the legs up a little that we've seen for the past 10 years from the likes of Rock and Benoit.

It was awkward looking, but it looked more painful than the usual sharpshooters.
At least he was leaning back masking the fact that there's no pressure on the back.

In real life that one would prolly hurt more, but in wrestling it looked bad...

I thought it looked sloppy, but then again, I know nothing about the correct applications of holds.

It didn't look like the normal sharpshooter. I liked it because it looked like a "I'm going to blow our your back" type of sharpshooter.
That's why I think I liked it so much. Submissions are supposed to bring pain.

Bret hadn't retired 10 years ago, Owen was still alive, and Sting's still active. I thought it looked horrible, personally.

Well, you're dealing with really long legs on Orton, and a shorter guy in HBK. It's gonna look weird.

I was suprised that JR didn't make a mention that he won the title 10 years ago at Survivor Series with that very move.

Terrible looking but if you've ever had someone put you in it - Shawns would legit hurt more.

Actually, the way Bret did it, and anyone else that did it the same way, were the only ones doing the move properly. Bret's way was also the most legit way to cause pain, as it's a legit move that hurts. Benoit was doing the move properly when he did it, just that he stood up a little more to ease the pain. The Rock wasn't doing the move right, Nor Austin or anyone else I've seen. HBK also did the ankle lock incorectly, but he still made it look good anyway.

You know, wrestling at its best is when it LOOKS like it hurts, and it doesn't.
Never bought into "stiff for the sake of stiff". Sorry, King's Road style.

Big pop, I think many thought that Vince might appear out of nowhere and call for the bell.
