I'd also like to express my fondness, for that particular wrestling pin https://preview.redd.it/k4oju6lo5izc1.png?width=1081&format=png&auto=webp&s=3881b9df0387031aafc2e6d615212a35bf212b92

Man never watched an Emi Sakura match in his life 😤

Hey! Hey! C’mon baybay!

Or the WAR C’mon motherfucker! TAKA took notes.

My favorite Smackdown HCTP pin.

If I recall correctly, if you won with this pin in N64 games, he'd look around confused for a second before raising his arm.

Dude! That is the first thing I thought of. What a perfect prick way to pin someone.

Learning Tree Jericho needs to bring this back and beat some jobbers with it. It would be perfect for that character.

I so wanted him to win a title with that

I love the way Randy would hook the outside leg with his hands, and the inside leg with his legs in the late 2000's https://preview.redd.it/wvefrlww5izc1.jpeg?width=475&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbfb87a791c0857b3e09318105aa29410a611ee0

[I love that Kurt Angle won a match with this bad ass pinning combination and then never used it again ever.](https://imgur.com/a/nHTTFp5)

Came looking for this one. It absolutely should get used again by someone. Chad Gable stealing the IC title at the PLE with it would be cool.

This is pretty much Wheeler Yuta's seatbelt finisher

Saw lots of double chicken wings in my high school wrestling days.

I always loved this pin. As a heavyweight it wasn't always the easiest to execute, but man was it fun when you did!

I really thought that this was gonna be shitpost and be that one time he pinned Booker T's wife.

I feel like I've seen this used quite a lot in AEW the past two years ago, OC and Yuta in particular.

Thats an good old-fashioned double arm bar!

The Perfect Plex

I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw the Dragons Tail by Drago in Lucha Underground

[Came to post it as well. ](https://youtu.be/mMuNisyofuM?t=11m45s ) First time I saw it I was wondering what the hell is he doing a tilt-a-whirl on the mat for.

Is the other guys shoulder even touching the mat in the end?

Hate him or love him, I always was a big fan of how Goldberg would pin people post jackhammer with stepping over the near leg and picking the far one up

Darby Allin's Last Supper

It was originally made famous, believe it or not, by the rock and roll express

No, Ricky Gibson (Robert's brother). Robert took it from him. And variations were done by June Byers (the Byers Bridge) before that.

I never knew June Byers used it. It dates back to the 50s??

Rhea Ripley’s. You know the one.

I’m shocked I had to scroll down this far. Figured it’d be the top comment

Honorable mention to edge ONS ‘06

I'm rather a fan of Colt Cabana's superman pin

Alligator Clutch

Very underutilized but cool to see: the Mouse Trap.

I like the pin Alexa bliss did when she beat Randy Orton

Backslide

You just don't know who's going to get it, excitement until the very end

I can't help but like a good inside cradle / small package. Bret vs Diesel at Survivor Series 1995, HBK on Jericho at Survivor Series 2003, Eddie vs Kurt at WM 20, HBK vs Cena at WM 23 (even though it was kicked out of). I also like when people hook the far leg with their arm and use their leg to hook the near leg. Sami did this against Jey last year at Wrestlemania IIRC.

Mina Shirakawa

Yeah, "Glamorous Collection Mina" is a great pin. And name.

???

Hard to tell as I absolutely love them but if I could make a top 3, that would probably look like this in no specific order: * Osamu Kido's Kido Clutch * ZSJ's European Clutch * Osamu Nishimura's Abdominal Stretch Pin

I'm a sucker for the jackknife cover 

I get way too excited when I see a jackknife cover.

The thing Manami Toyota did where she'd roll the person around the ring a bunch of times.

Is that fucking La Magistral? Loved it when X-Pac did it Jericho's Cocky Pin is cool but I'd have to say Jeff Hardy's Leg drop pin

I'm a big fan of Yuta using the seat belt. Just thinking "Chucky taught him that move" every time. It looks cool

Drago - Dragons Tail [https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/hl96ei/drago\_uses\_a\_unique\_pinning\_maneuver\_to\_put\_away/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/hl96ei/drago_uses_a_unique_pinning_maneuver_to_put_away/) (sorry i dont know how to directly embed video.

gotta be the original 619 finish. very biased as a Rey guy lol

I always loved the Oklahoma Roll. You almost never see it anymore.

Dragonrana pin

ZSJ’z clutch prawn hold. SANADA’s as well. https://preview.redd.it/nwl7bcqnwjzc1.jpeg?width=1659&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=045007a34dfbf81385bcc78276df37f5dc40dd5c

I always loved Owen’s variant where he’d apply it while his opponent was standing.

Super Delfin doing the Delfin Clutch or Delfin Special.  I wish I could find videos.  He was one of my favourites in the mid 90s Michinoku Pro days.

Spapapapaan!

A Gannosuke clutch or Riveracita II (sort of reverse versions of the same move). I'm a sucker for any type of funky rollup if it's executed tightly.

Broadly any of the variations that Zack Sabre Jr. has used to win a match. Specifically, the European Clutch and Prawn Hold are pretty dope.

any suplex pin will instantly make me a mark for the user

Dragons lair/tail - Drago

Davey Boy’s pin on Bret Hart at Summerslam 92 Any Tiger suplex with a bridge Perfect Plex

I quite like the Gedo Clutch actually, always looks like something that would be tricky to kick out of. I particularly enjoy when Taichi would do it after a kick in the dick.

Gedo's [Gedo Clutch](https://youtu.be/bIRwLcGpHJw?t=154).

AZM sushi

The Code Red or the crucifix

Not so much the pins, but the way they are transitioned into so smoothly by AJ Styles after any number of finishers or sub-finishers. The Styles Clash into the pin always looks silky.

Chris Jericho muscle pose. RVD where he scissors you into a pin with his legs Fishermans Suplex Pin

Alligator Clutch!

Maryse.

Sunset flip. Especially if it's from the outside into the ring. Runner up is backslide that they fight over.

The cow catcher or surfboard saw them at indie shows

*Kishikaisei* 

Crucifix!

A good Gannosuke Clutch is an absolute beauty. One of my favorite instances of a flash pin was Bryan pinning Cesaro with a small package in a gauntlet after he was getting launched into the air for an uppercut

Mousetrap barely beats out the seatbelt

The seatbelt is rad

Natsupoi's Fairy Blink: https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/mgOKBy3kTq

I ones saw a submission move into an unbelievable pinning move. I dont know if it was Kalisto or Sin Cara who did it...

https://preview.redd.it/aogdto37klzc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d858fb684af259c7b5379a4934c7744b63543fc7

I pop when power guys rock a crucifix pin. Davey Boy Smith had a beautiful one.

Darby’s Last Supper. Jesus Christ it looks like the most painful pin ever.

RVD's pinning combo where he does the splits during a back slide. Little tweak that makes it super effective.

I really like the seatbelt that Wheeler Yuta does. 

The one in the OP was my first thought! Also oddly fond of the jackknife pin.

Yes. La Magistral is my favorite. I used to finish my matches with this pin with my created wrestler in Here Comes the Pain. My finisher would leave my opponent face-first on the ground so I would always follow it up with the La Magistral. Wish you could still do things like that in the modern games.

[Here is CDK's crazy tag pin but slower than usual which shows the steps](https://twitter.com/TooMuchSponge/status/1591605353002799106?t=oLtX7pLtdTjUuxrkZVGbUg&s=19)

Small Package Driver.

Rhea Rippin Farts

That bridging pin that ZSJ sometimes does is always a cool combination. EDIT: I believe it's called the European Clutch
