Wrestling move safety is not determined by how much a move generally hurts, but how likely it is to majorly injure someone. Chokeslam, for example, is going to hurt more than most because you're being thrown down from high, but its pretty unlikely you'll get majorly injured by it, hence it being lower down on the list. Stuff like the Styles Clash and Piledriver have a very real chance of breaking someone's neck with a slight mistake, hence them being higher.
Truth. The chokeslam gives you a lot of control over your own landing, so you can come down flat or a little high on your shoulders. Even if the person giving it thrusts you down too hard, you can still kick your legs out for a flat landing.
What are you talking about, he was literally banned from using the Styles Clash in WWE because he broke two dudes' necks. He hurt like nine guys with it.
@@everyonelovesmajimaall their own faults because wrestlers are taught from the get to tuck their chin and with the styles clash you aren’t supposed to do that you have to look backward it’s why even bully ray said he’d never take it but he wanted to but he couldn’t ever do it right because tucking your chin is like second nature
Most of these were pretty accurately ranked. The spear is actually pretty safe in wrestling because of how its executed - if you watch Edge, Lashley etc, you'll see they don't actually plow into their opponent. The widely accepted most dangerous wrestling move is the Burning Hammer by Kenta Kobashi - he only used it seven times and it basically involves dropping someone on their head. Worth checking out.
@@stevonwhite8933 that’s not quite true. Tyler Reks used it as a finisher somewhere around 2010. (ofc a safer version where he dropped his enemy’s on the stomach and not on the head)
@@stevonwhite8933 and Ibushi kicked out of it because I believe his neck is just a very realistic looking hologram. See also: Ibushi vs Yoshihiko (yes, the blow up doll match), where he takes multiple Canadian destroyers.
@@hakipower1523 Than that really isn’t a Burning hammer. It’s meant to be a FINAL BOSS move. Landing on anywhere but the neck, is opposite of what was intended.
The part about the Styles Clash is incredibly accurate. Tucking your chin during a bump is one of the first things you're taught as a wrestler, so you have to ignore years of muscle memory to take the Clash properly.
Considering logan has only had a couple of matches his match against reigns was pretty lit, and considering he basically blew his knee up about half way through the match and continued was pretty sick tbh, dude can wrestle
This is a mostly accurate list with a few exceptions it is commonly understood that the 3 most dangers moves to preform in order are 3. The brain buster in a very select few variants only though 2. The Canadian Destroyer due to the high impact of the move the velocity at which the head and neck will be bounced around on the canvas and while the move is being performed as well and the fact that both the individual giving it and receiving it, must both be on the absolute same page no exceptions or risk catastrophic injury. And of course 1. Is undoubtedly the burning Hammer because it’s almost banned everywhere by almost ever promotion and for good reason and that is because even if both wrestlers preforming said maneuver are 100% on the same page death is still a factor and is just a defining part of the equation of the reason YOU DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT THIS MOVE…. EVER !!! if further proof is needed just look up wrestlers performing this move as well as those taking it… and I promise you will understand if you are unaware of how and why it is sooo unbelievably fucking dangerous.
Having family in the WWE I can tell you the injuries are very real. They practice the match and run through them before they go on air to help prevent injuries. They have to trust each other alot to put on a good show.
Someone took a tombstone from the 2nd turnbuckle in AEW a few weeks back... that looked properly fucked... ofc they were very careful with the execution. Kinda missing from this list are 'The (Curb)stomp', 'The Coup de Grace'/Top rope double stomp, 'The Muscle (Kinniku) Buster', 'The Burning Hammer' and some others... JBL's 'Clothesline From Hell' / 'The Burning Lariat' is also pretty fucked. Think 'The Burning Hammer' and 'The Vertebreaker', which appeared in this list, are popular picks for the most dangerous finishers in mainstream wrestling. There's some next level insane shit in various indies that boggles the mind though!
As an underground wrestler I can say alot of these are pretty accurate. A couple were probably misplaced, but as long as you know what you are doing they are not too bad of moves
You need to see the Steiner Screwdriver, Scott Steiner's version of the Piledriver. It's SCARY to watch! Despite that, though, he somehow never injured anyone with it, even though that looks.....impossible.
As someone that is not that much into wwe, I have understand it as the more risk of serious injury, the higher on this list. I have heard of the nr 1. It is so easy to do wrong and break someones neck. As I've understood it, you need to secure the others head between your knees so it never hits the floor. Therfor, jumping gives you more time to secure the head, while just dropping gives you less time. Can someone confirm, deny, add more info if needed?
The Walls Of Jericho is just a Boston Crab (a relatively tame submission hold). The Lion Tamer (what Chris Jericho used in WCW when he was in the cruiserweight division) is pretty tame when you use it against someone your own height (as he did in WCW), but you could snap a taller person in half with it because of how much further you need to bend their legs. Since he started wrestling against significantly taller opponents in WWE, he modified it.
Frog splash is actually very a dangerous move because there is TNA and WWE star who did used the move and broke his ripcage but he is okay. Now and i think that injury force him to retire.
Check out the burning hammer finisher. Banned in WWE as well. Basically they put them in a fireman’s carry but stomach up on their shoulders and drop them on their heade
Adam for months now you've been keeping me going thriugh a tough time, please take care of yourself and keep being awesome every single day, we love you
Well, actually, if you watch their match at Wrestlemania XIV, Kane's neck goes sideways for one Tombstone and he gets spiked on his head for another by The Undertaker.
Taker jumped at the end because HBK slapped him in the face (it was the final moments of the Streak vs Career match at WM26…Taker felt remorse for Shawn because he didn’t want to end it…until Shawn slapped him to piss him off)
I'd say one to check out is the burning hammer since it is a reverse death valley driver so you spike them on the head and one that was left off was the kimura I'm surprised it's not on there as that can cause damage
Hey Adam, I've been watching your videos for quite some time & honestly I have a different style video I think you need to react to. The Vancouver Canucks game 7 against Chicago 2011. The year Vancouver went to the cup. That game in my opinion & many many others is one of if not the greatest game 7 played in any arena, The energy rogers Arena (Vancouver) has during the playoffs is one of the best & it really showed in 2011. That game had more huge hits then you see in a year now basically. The good video is by "CanucksHD", Just search "Vancouver vs Chicago 2011 CanucksHD" the Blackhawks won 3 previous series against Vancouver all round 1 in a row before 2011. This was the Canucks revenge year on them & the Canucks almost blew the 3-0 series lead too!
All newer moves. Left out the swinging full Nelson, the flying hammer lock, and Indian death lock. Not to mention northern lights, tiger, and dragon suplex.
To add insult to injury on the diving headbutt, the creator of the move Harley Race, wishes to this very day he never created the move. Seeing all the spinal/brain trauma injuries that have come from the move. And obviously, you know…
Black Mass is pretty dangerous. A spinning wheel kick to the ear of an opponent? Yeah, if they timing is off even a little bit, that's at least a knock out (see also: Edson Barboza vs Terry Etim in the UFC), if not basically a decapitation
The Tombstone shouldn't even be on the list because Taker only ever minorly injured Ric Flair with it one time. Samoa Joe hurt more dudes with the Muscle Buster. An underrated brutal finisher is the crossface chickenwing, which I was once put in by law enforcement officials, wacky story, and it fucked my arm up for good.
Agree with this list whole-heartedly, I have to admit. I'm typing this at 11 minutes and the Diving Headbutt BETTER be #1 or #2. (EDIT -- I was close.)
I guess people forgot the burning hammer exists....that move is far more dangerous than the number one of this list...that move was used only 2/3 times in history of pro wrestling..then the dude who made it didnt use it anymore but wwe attempted to use a watered down version of this move which failed badly
Adam if you want to know the most dangerous move in professional wrestling look at the Omega Driver. Love you no offense, also You should never really critique a move unless you’ve taken it before
To me the Pedigree should be higher on the list. You have your face going into the mat with your arms held behind you. I would rather get a super kick than a Pedigree any day.
Been waiting on this one. My all-time favorite finisher, and I KNOW he's not the only one who used it, but Petey Williams' "Canadian Destroyer" was 🔥🔥🔥 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SXZKmfzWr5o.html
I do not agree with with this list. Some should be ranked higher then others. As per the research me and my brother did when we were kids. Thank goodness neither of us are paralyzed.
If wrestling is supposed to be fake why is Jimmy uso is still in the hospital why roman reigns hasn't been on smackdown since wrestlemania 40,fuck if wrestling is fake or not look at the shit that they go through,putting there bodies on the line to entertain the fans,going through all that pain and leaving there family's 24/7 7 days a week,let someone go through the same shit that they do & they'll have a chance of heart about it.
