Strategically speaking, isn't the Figure-4 Leg Lock a terrible finishing move?

Preface by saying that the Figure Four is easily one of the most iconic and most fun finishers to actually perform on the trampoline when you're 11 years old, and it makes for good in-ring antics, but, from a purely logistical standpoint, it's a terrible move to end a match.
Firstly, it's a submission, so you can't KO your opponent like most finishers. It's also not a quick-hit move to hit your opponent out of nowhere.
Secondly, it's one of the easiest moves to break, because the ropes are always only a few feet away from you.
And lastly, all you have to do is roll over and then the move is reversed on the person who applied it in the first place.
What a shitty strategic move, no?

In wrestling, yes. With Elizabeth Hurley, no.

Doesn’t have shite on The People’s Elbow or The Stone Cold Stunner

10 yr old DD had no idea what wrestling stuff was so all my buddies used me as a tackling dummy as "showing me something".
Whenever someone shouts Goldberg now I kind of expect to get speared from behind.

Figure-4 Leg Lock
I presumed it must be a sex position I'd never heard of

Chicken wing is the most translatable finishing move in wrestling, that shite absolutely fricking works.

I'll still never forgive pro wrestling for making Jake Roberts' DDT into a routine, mid-match move...

I disagree. When your mom does it, I finish every time

I have to say, the Stunner does look like it could frick someone up

Jake Roberts killed his own career from alcoholism

The figure 4 is easy to break when there is cooperation.
Go to a wrestling school and have the trainer do a shoot with you.
You will discover more about wrestling.
Yes it is fake and scripted
But these people can legitimately stretch you out and inflict pain any time they choose.

And some of them were real wrestlers. Like the Iron Sheik, he was really a champion wrestler from Iran and they say if he had wanted to he could have tied Hulk Hogan into a knot

How old are you? I’m in my early 40s and thought it was common knowledge that this was how the Nature Boy finished off losers.
