Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Crippler Crossface

Reason: The image is of a high quality. It is an intense move that is eye catching to the viewer. The key aspects of the move (arm between the legs and locked hands pulling on the head) are clearly visible, and the victim appears read to "tap out". Image was naturally well lit. Benoit himself is notable due to the nature of his death.
Proposed caption: Chris Benoit, the then-United States Champion, locking in the infamous Crippler Crossface on Montel Vontavious Porter at a Smackdown live event.

Comment In case you're wondering, No, I won't be submitting hundreds of wrestling pics for nomination. This is pretty much it as far as high end quality. Mshake3 15:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support clear picture showing the move the rope does not interfere much --Wally787 02:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good quality picture. The ring rope does not obscure the key features of the move (arm trap and locked hands), and only obscures Chris Benoit's face. Bingo182 —Preceding comment was added at 23:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
