The story behind this submission (if you're interested): I like to daydream about my imaginary career if I was a pro wrestler, starting from when I first started watching WWF (late 80's). That's my persona in the GIF. Anyway, my guy proposed a storyline to Vince to get himself in the main event. Since there was such a thing as "No Holds Barred" matches, my character wanted to introduced a barred hold; The Deathly Nerve Lock. A fake story was created for the move in which it was banned worldwide due to how dangerous it was, and as a result only three wrestlers in the world knew how to perform it. My character was one of these three. He goaded Hulk Hogan into accepting a No Holds Barred match at Summerslam 1990, and in preparation destroyed a number of jobbers with the hold to cement it as a dangerous, nearly deadly submission hold. Of course Hogan "hulked" out of it and won the match, but the fued made Hogan look great and showed that my character could cut it at the main-event level, and provided a platform to build his career on. The submission popped up a few times over the years but remained generally well protected and was only used on rare occassions.

I've created a version for myself with boosted damage and has a DQ count instead, but I didn't think anyone would be interested in that, so this is a standard submission move instead. I've renamed it "Deadly Nerve Grip" to differentiate it.
