While Big E pulls his opponent to the side, rather than really stretching them out, he spends his time dancing and spanking them. It feels like a submission that is more for embarrassing his opponent, which is fine at times. But in a serious, heated match, this often feels out of place and never looks painful. Anything Brock Lesnar does looks incredibly painful for obvious reasons, as The Beast Incarnate is such a dominant talent.

The legitimacy he has from his MMA career made his Kimura Lock look very scary as he would yank back the arm as much as possible. Because the Beast is such a physical presence, him locking on an arm submission just looked amazing and it was something that everyone could take seriously as a scary and painful-looking submission.

A variety of wrestlers have used the Single Leg Boston Crab throughout wrestling history, but the movie has simply never looked that strong.

With the other leg completely free to help the wrestler move, it's just never made sense to use a single leg variation of this move. When both legs are pulled back, this certainly looks more effective. But using just one leg never came out as impressive as other submissions, making this one look far less painful.

The move sees Shayna wrap her opponent up, making it impossible for them to escape while she simply suffocates the air from them. This is something that is easy for fans to buy into in terms of being incredibly painful. Fans can see the difficulty wrestlers have in escaping from the move and the panic that it often brings makes this a perfect finishing move. For this particular entry, it's very much down to the person who is putting the move on. When Ric Flair locks in the Figure Four, it looks fantastic and painful, but passing the move on to The Miz was a major mistake.

Whenever he locked on this submission, fans weren't impressed as the move simply didn't look good enough at all. Kazushi Sakuraba and Masahiko Kimura are among the people who have submitted them in that way. The attacker grabs a double wristlock and cranks behind the opponent's back. The hold puts an incredible amount of stress on the shoulder, which could cause horrible damage. One of the worst things we have seen is when Frank Mir broke Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's arm in horrendous fashion with a Kimura.

The rarely seen calf slicer is tough to pull off in MMA, but when it is, it causes unbelievable pain.

A compression lock, the calf slicer sees the performer use his shin as a fulcrum. The performer presses the calf into the bone of the leg causing immense pain as the muscle compresses. The fighter executing the choke is usually on bottom. He takes his shin and runs it across his opponent's windpipe. Then, the executor locks his hands behind the opponent's head, which puts extreme torque on the opponent's neck. It is a compression lock in which the the Achilles tendon is pressed to the back of the opponent's ankle.

The extreme stress on the Achilles tendon, which is very sensitive and, well, necessary to stand and walk, will leave opponents in severe pain and tapping like there is no tomorrow. Probably the most rarely used submission in MMA, opponents might want to be happy that this move is not often seen.
