Professional wrestling is entertaining, but it also involves a lot of risks. Some moves may be spectacular, but they are very risky, and people have sustained severe injuries. This article focuses on six of the most dangerous wrestling moves ever pulled off. These are the head and neck moves such as Tombstone Piledriver, Diving Headbutt, high impact moves such as 630 Senton, Buckle Bomb, and piledrivers and powerbombs such as Ganso Bomb and Burning Hammer.
Even though these are spectacular to watch, these moves are clear demonstrations of just how much the wrestlers value safety in the wrestling ring. Following is the list of six wrestling finishers that we hope will never be performed in the wrestling ring again. Let’s dive into the article.
Devastating Head and Neck Moves
The Tombstone Piledriver
The Tombstone Piledriver, which was popularized by The Undertaker is a very effective move. However, it has its sit-out variant which is considered to be very dangerous. This move was used in SummerSlam 1997 where Owen Hart in an unfortunate incident, landed on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s neck, paralyzing him. Since then it has been prohibited in WWE.
Diving Headbutt
While the diving headbutt is a very complex move and is usually related to fancy feints, it is also quite dangerous. Harley Race said that it reduced his career and Bryan Danielson only uses it because it helps him, though it hurts. However, considering the awareness of CTE, this move’s risks are even more apparent.
High-Impact Aerial Maneuvers
630 Senton
The 630 Senton is a move where the wrestler performs several mid-air rotations, and this is a move that only the best high flyers can pull off. Even though the maneuver looks impressive, it is among one include Finn Balor the most dangerous aerial stunts because of the high possibility of a wrong landing.
The Buckle Bomb
A wrestling move known as the Buckle Bomb is performed by Seth Rollins that was banned in 2018 because the wrestlers have been getting injured severally. Some of the famous wrestlers, who have faced this move include; John Cena, Bret Hitman Hart, Mr Perfect, and Sting whose careers were interfered with.
Brutal Piledrivers and Powerbombs
Ganso Bomb
The Ganso Bomb is also known as the most brutal attack. In All Japan Pro Wrestling, this move is referred to as a piledriver, which entails placing an opponent’s head between the wrestler’s legs and then dropping him/her on the head. A rather memorable one left fans stunned and worried about the well-being of the wrestlers.
The Burning Hammer
The Burning Hammer by Kenta Kobashi is a submission finishing maneuver beginning with an inverted fireman’s carry and then the opponent is slammed on his head. Although it is highly risky, it is not very common, and each time it occurs, it attracts a lot of attention.
Thus, while professionalism and entertainment are the cornerstones of the show that is professional wrestling, they obscure the dangers to the performers. As much as the high-impact moves are impressive, one still cannot overlook the likelihood of the misfortune following them in the long run. This industry is, therefore, faced with the challenge of satisfying the people’s desire for glamorous thrills while trying to protect the lives of its athletes. It is for this reason that the future of the sport itself could be in danger if precaution is not taken.
