Answer 10

i admire the belief of going with the excellent technical wrestlers in a submission tournament, so sick follow it... Kurt perspective vs. Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko vs. Ken Shamrock in a 4 guy removing submission tournament. Kurt perspective dominates the early goings of the tournament, making the two shamrock and malenko faucet out to the ankle lock. he maintains to dominate a fatigued benoit, till benoit ultimately catches him in a tried punch and bang! german suplex. benoit then hits the CCF and locks perspective interior the crippler crossface interior the midst of the hoop. perspective fights on valiantly, yet finally is in too plenty soreness and faucets. Benoit wins.
