Wristlock. Stepover. Wrenching takedown. Cross armbreaker. The sequence of movement is quite simple, but it never fails to impress me, no matter how many times Alberto del Rio applies his signature submission hold in a wrestling match. I know del Rio probably drew inspiration for using it as a finisher from his MMA days, but the grace with which he applies the hold has done more to inform me of the mat-based side of lucha libre in WWE than anything the company ever did with its Mexican imports.
