** This Godzilla incarnation of the ''Franchise/MonsterVerse'' tends to use grappler-esque brawler moves against certain foes. In ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'', after biting Ghidorah's right head, he grabs the latter with both hands and does a chokeslam. He also does a one-hand variant by dunking one of Ghidorah's heads underwater while grappling during their second battle. In ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire'', during their brief skirmish, Godzilla actually performs a suplex on Kong, of all people.

* In the ''Literature/HorusHeresy'', one of the first battles of the galaxy-spanning civil war was the Burning of Prospero, a tragedy of two loyal sons (though bitter rivals) and their armies fighting to the death. Leman Russ and his legion had been sent to arrest Magnus and legion for their crimes, and orders had been intercepted and altered. The savage and nightmarish battle ended with a personal duel between Leman and Magnus, two genetic demigods, and that ended...with a savage backbreaker.

** In both ''Film/IronMan2'' and ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', Natasha Romanov (as ComicBook/BlackWidow) frequently employs the Frankensteiner (headscissors takedown with a backflip) to battle opponents. This is actually based on the real Russian Martial art called Sambo. She just added some American-style moves to complement her high agility.
** It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Cap]] pulls a perfect German suplex on the [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] during the bridge battle. Cap uses a chokeslam and a sleeper (or rear naked choke, if you prefer UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts terms) on Winter Soldier during their final battle.
** In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', to compliment his GoodOldFisticuffs fighting style, [[Characters/MarvelComicsThanos Thanos]] uses a few wrestling moves, like chokeslamming [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]] or catching the [[Characters/MarvelComicsBruceBanner Hulk]] in a [[HoistHeroOverHead Gorilla Press]], followed by body slamming him. Notably, he’s clearly doing the "wrong"/lethal versions; the people he performs the attacks on only survive due to being superpowered themselves.

Rebirth Wonder Woman is known for [[MurderousThighs body scissors]], [[ChokeHolds sleeper holds]] and having the most wins by "submission" in Themyscira's [[FightClubbing secret fighting ring]].
