My favourite way to see a bout end was, and is, a painful submission hold. The hold will be applied after some effective punishment of the body part that is then victim of the relevant submission hold.
For a pin fall, isn't the key word "inescapable."? We saw so many false finishes where they escaped from intricate moves; and then the simplest of folding press winners with no pressure on the shoulders.
I would like to have been the quality control manager at the time and given them a rocket for some of this sloppiness.

It could all have been perfect ....
The skill of a good pin fall always worked. Or a painful submission hold with a full Boston crab.
You'fe right Anglo.Just watched it on 1955-1988 The Final Bell.It was awkward viewing.
But too many dreadful knockouts. Johnny Yearsley trying hard to sell a Tomahawk Chop ko on youtube remains awkward viewing - he even covers his face.
I think it depended on the wrestler especially if they had a signature finishing move (belly buts excluded).
