Chris Masters Reveals Who Was the Hardest Person To Put The Master Lock On

Chris Masters recently revealed who was the most difficult person to put into the Master Lock, and why he doesn’t consider it to be the Big Show. Masters’ finisher in WWE was a branded version of the full nelson that played on his physical strength, to the point that he got the move over via a “Master Lock Challenge” in which he challenge people to try and get out of the hold.

Chris Masters spoke about the move on Insight With Chris Van Vliet and who was the hardest person to put in the hold. He noted that Bobby Lashley’s build puts him at the top of the list, and noted that he was unable to apply the hold on the Big Show. You can can see highlights below:

On Who Was Hardest To Put the Master Lock On:

“Probably, Bobby. Just look at his build. I mean, I say that just because I remember just holding that thing for a long time on anybody can be kind of tough. I’m saying not for 20 seconds, but like with Bobby. I mean, it was hard, you know, because by the time I got it around his neck, it was probably not even fully locked in, just because he was so kind of broad up here.”

On Not Being Able To Put the Hold On Big Show:

“Well, I don’t even think it was possible with Big Show. Honestly, we went through this one time at a TV where we were trying, we tried to get it on, everybody was so excited when I got there to try it. They got me to the ring, or they want to see it, and then we had this idea of maybe using a chain. But I guess it didn’t make sense. You rap a chain, you do it there, but it’s like, well I guess it didn’t make sense, so we didn’t do that. Then it’s funny, because I feel like there was a point where I could have put it on him, and maybe he just was a little heavier when he was heavier. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I was just was never able to get it on.”
