Is the Sharpshooter the greatest finisher of all time? Let us know in the comments below!

@Yippa391 9 месяцев назад

Best that takes some extra talent. Perfect plex, figure four, I've Chokeslamed and powerbombed the odd tweeker... I'm no fighter... They just easy and stops a fight pretty quick

@JohnnyRhett 9 месяцев назад

I say the figure four….. bc it actually hurts like hell to one man when laying on your back, and literally hurts like hell to the other man when rolled over

@StealthMarmot_ 9 месяцев назад

Good of Bret to be honest about where he got the hold from. He saw Sting use it, and asked around and Konan showed him. So Sting had it first. You can argue over who did it best but Sting had it first. One of Bret's signature traits is his integrity. He's no liar. He might be wrong or inaccurate, but not intentionally.

@joes4194 9 месяцев назад

It was never a question of who did it first. There's plenty of video footage existing that establishes who did it first. Anybody who would argue that Bret did it first doesn't know their history at all. Now Bret did do it best.

There is an actual reverse figure four that is different than the sharpshooter. Instead of crossing the leg and standing, the wrestler applying the hold steps on his opponents foot and drops down.

@jc3drums916 9 месяцев назад

@@aoisora1445 There really isn't a variation, it's just a nice way of saying someone is doing it wrong. Whether you step over with your left foot or right foot doesn't make a difference, as they should just result in mirror images of each other. If done correctly, the victim has one leg trapped between your thigh and his other leg, so you're only holding onto one ankle. The Rock grabs both ankles with the same arm, which is very unstable and ugly. Shawn Spears does it a little bit cleaner, but he still crosses the victim's legs in the wrong order, so he winds up holding onto the near leg, not the far leg as he's supposed to, which is still less stable than when it's done correctly.

As a WCW fan I always hated when WWF fans who weren’t even paying attention to southern wrestling until the mid 90s would always try to tell me that Sting stole it from Bret when the southern fans knew that Sting have been using that match for a few years before Brett Hart started his solo career. I’m not saying anyone’s deliberately lying I just think so. Many people think everything great came from the WWF and with Brett Hartz fans it’s pretty much whatever happened happened in Canada and the WWF. But yeah, Brett’s been honest about this for 20 years. I was actually surprised because that interview where he first said it is almost 2 decades old now that there have been so many people over the years that didn’t know the truth about it.

Gotta love memories. Because I knew 100% that I saw Rugged Ronnie Garvin put this on Greg the Hammer Valentine. A little research (very little) shows that match took place on January 21, 1990. That was 2 years before Konnan made his debut in the WWF.

@markmcdonnell 8 месяцев назад

I don't believe him. Last night, coincidentally, I watched the 11th July 1988 episode of WWF Prime Time and in a tag match with the Bulldogs and the Bolsheviks, Davey Boy Smith actually puts on the sharpshooter (the commenters called it a different name). So if Davey knew that move and Bret worked with them both back in Stampede wrestling days, then I find it very hard to believe that in 1991 Bret didn't know the move nor that Davey could tell him how to put it on. I just don't buy his story because of it. Maybe I'm wrong but Bret has been known to stretch the truth.

@CarlosLiberated 8 месяцев назад

...and Sting is still wrestling. It's a shame he missed so much injury time at his peak. He's still in the GOAT conversation, but I feel the Sting = GOAT argument would be a lot stronger if he wrestled more in the mid-late 90s/early 2000s and his WWE run wasn't completely botched. Bret had a long, successful career, but Sting started earlier and has been on top far, far longer. All that said, while I'm the biggest Sting fan, I have to put my bias aside and say that Bret's version of the Sharpshooter/SDL is my favorite of the two. Just something about how Bret locked this opponents legs up that was subtle, but really made it look like there was no escape, whereas sometimes Sting's was so quick the opponent leg positioning could be a bit sloppy. Bret did it the same every time, even against larger opponents.

@mattthomas1442 8 месяцев назад

He meant Curt but it was nothing personal against him. He mentioned this in his book or another shoot but in his mind he knew at those times that the guys who feuded with the respective champ after Mania always jobbed out to them for the next 2 to 3 months, you wanted to be the guy that was feuding with him around the next PPV cause that was when the belt might be dropped. It was nothing against Curt it was just that Bret had been around long enough to know that he had no chance of beating him if he feuded with him then.

@JohnnyRhett 9 месяцев назад

It’s nice to hear him credit Sting. The move resembles a scorpion,,, I’d like to know what made them think of sharpshooter. Only thing I can think of is the little green army men toys, the one soldier probed out in a sharpshooter position. His legs were laid out like in the same position they would be in the submission move, but flat on the ground

it is more than that it is how you have to make the move look painful without it actually being painful. Also how the opponent has to assist in rolling over while looking like he is trying to get out of it there is a lot of stuff you have to be conscious of (bret did) a lot of guys in wrestling have knee issues...how do i get it on and not screw up someone's knee or twist an ankle etc. as kids we absolutely did the same shit but when youre a pro doing it to a fellow pro you have to make sure you dont do anything that may cause that wrestler to get injured (miss dates)

Seems like they had a chat on what move to use, they came up with one and then Bret went to find somebody who knew how to apply it.

Just timing. Bret didn't want to work with Perfect at that moment because it would mean doing the job for him. Bret had just started to get his singles push and didn't want to lose momentum, and Perfect had just won the IC title, so it was too soon to move it to Bret. Bret wanted to work with Perfect in a few months from then when he could win the belt. No personal issues between Bret and Hennig at all.
