Well, the Step-over is an old Catch Wrestling technique so it's not surprising that you'd find it in pro wrestling (CACC is the forfather of pro wrestling after all). There are a lot of subs from Catch that you'll find weird, watered down versions of in wrasslin that are really brutal if you apply them as they were meant to be applied (the Dragon Sleeper comes to mind... almost broke my buddy's neck with that one)

I usually try to get the body triangle if it's a bigger guy as it really fatigues them and holds them down... the downside is of course that you can't move either so you'd better have a damn good sub while your legs are gassing
I have really big, strong legs so my body triangle usually hurts like a bitch but then again I go for a neck crank at the same time.
Only thing I know for sure that you shouldn't do from the back: cross your legs! If your opponent is flexible enough he can get a nasty ankle lock on you
