The reason why the piledriver is banned for everyone except Kane and Undertaker is not only because they're incredibly tall and can more easily get the opponent's head above their knees, but because both Kane and Undertaker have an incredibly long history of being two of the most (if not the two most) safe wrestlers to ever step in the ring. Kane in particular has been named by numerous wrestlers as the safest man in the ring. What a legend.
Undertaker was extremely botchy his final years. WWE had much better wrestlers who did cleaner piledrivers like Io Shirai (who's like 155 cm tall or something), and they still forbid them from doing these... Why? It's obvious Candice LeRae or Toni Storm botches piledrivers way less than some old barely-moving guy.
@@KasumiRINA Taker was also wrestling very few matches so they probably hoped that he'd have enough control for whatever time he had left and from then on make sure they didn't have to worry about anyone else using it.
@@KasumiRINA the undertaker has much more experience doing tombstone piledrivers then pretty much anyone also he's usually taller then his opponents and he's stronger then candice or toni which all makes the tombstone safer
The irony is that Taker and Kane are perhaps 2 of the most fearsome wrestler out there. I remembered when I was a kid I had nightmares of Big Red Machine Kane. And unlike Harry Kane, The Kane actually won numerous titles.
Sheamus's brogue kick has always felt like more than just a big boot. It really does feel like a finishing move whenever Sheamus does it and you can feel how impactful it is.
I know it’s been said over and over, but it really speaks volumes about how much Vince trusts the Undertaker and Kane, as well as how safe and talented of a performer they are, that they’re allowed to do one of the most dangerous wrestling maneuvers out there on a regular basis when most aren’t ever allowed to do it
@@SpicyElaichi Only if the person performing it is tall enough. A shorter wrestler would need to hold their opponents much higher to perform it safely, and then they're need to be much stronger in comparison to perform it - which is highly unlikely. That would mean there's only 2-3 wrestlers around the 6ft mark that are strong enough to do it and who aren't considered giants.
@@revadarius2594 Agreed. additionally, though the height of the wrestler taking it matters just as much. So this could be quite safe for say a cruiserweight to do to another cruiserweight but NOT a heavy weight
I remember Undertaker talking about how he's not really cool with other stars using the piledriver on him (talking about his fued with Randy Orton) because of he knows how tall he is and how it does it. It totally makes sense. before I knew wrestling was scripted I was like this move is weak but now when I watch matches back - I respect everyone executing it to perfection.
To date the only one I remember botching a kneeling tombstone piledriver and injuring someone IS Undertaker dropping Goldberg on his head. Others, like Io Shirai, Toni Storm or Young Bucks do them way safer.
I'm surprised Jeff Hardy's Swanton bomb wasn't on the list, especially the fact that he significantly reduced the frequency he performed it because of how many times he's hurt himself in his career doing it!
@@gamesmoney1025 That's not relevant, mate, the fights are scripted. You wouldn't ever "swanton bomb" in a real fight, lmfao. The point is that swanton bomb is dangerous to perform. Not that it's "risky because they can easily counter it"...
Harley Race invented the Diving Headbutt by accident and later decided to continue doing it as his signature. He later said he regretted doing the move because of it causing spinal problems.
Funny since I never liked it because I thought it looked like the one using should be more harmed than their opponent. UT only made sense if the person using had a kaybabe hard skull, like the Wild Samoans
@@benbolden3903 I don't think theres a might have about it. If Benoit didn't take his own life as well then he more likely would have been found unfit to stand trial with how fucked his brain was. It should absolutely be banned. Anyone who does that move in the modern era is just an idiot
Undertaker and Kane did the Tombstone Piledriver, that move is relative safe as Taker and Kane's knee's absorb all the impact. It's the Traditional Piledriver and the Sit-out variation of it that is truly dangerous. Like that Piledriver that broke Stone Cold's neck, that was a Sit-Out Piledriver.
I read the biography of one of europes most famous wrestlers, Rene Lasartesse, (mostly unknown today, but he was the main heel in european wrestling from the 1950s to the 1980s). He learned the pilledriver in the 1950s during his time in the USA, and he said that he trained for years before he first did that during a regular match. And when he first made that move in europe, the crowd was shocked about the ammount of brutality...after he made a kneedrop from the highest rope, the police stopped the show...
I know Jeff Hardy isn't in WWE, but the Swanton Bomb could be in this list, and in the dangerous ones, because unlike air moves like Frog Splash (falls in front, and left some space for not injury the rival), the Swanton makes the impact with the back, is a real hit, and has more risk of injury (to who makes it AND who receives It)
I think it pain but not much as we think, Finn always pull hig leg back when he closer to other wrestler, which will make it less impact than when his foot is straighten. The place he land also the chest, which will make it less hurt than belly in this case. The moment he land he will roll right away, not keep that position.
@@misterx6276 Well according to Nakamura, who's taken worse shit on a tuesday than you in your entire hallucinated tough guy existence, it feels like getting stabbed in the chest. But sure, you show those weights.
Part of the reason Taker and Kane are allowed the piledriver, is that their patented tombstone version (which no-one else will ever be allowed to touch through gimmick infringement) is a lot safer than the version Owen did. Using your own knees as the stopper with the wrestler's head above them is fine but falling directly on your backside, using only your arms is all sorts of wrong for one's neck.
I think Attitude Adjustment is one of the safest moves which didn't make to this list. Especially when someone with a great core strength like Cena delivering it to his opponents. From lifting to landing down, Cena takes care of his opponent's head ane neck. He tries to ensure that the person lies down flat on their back. Anyone delivering an AA can have a good control over their opponent's landing, not just Cena. Plus it's simple and beautiful to watch. What I would disagree with RKO being one of the safest which it isn't. I agree that Orton might have mastered the art of delivering it safely but it's a very quick move and happens in a blink of eye. Not really easy to consistently deliver it that safely. High chances of injuring check and face with slightest of mistake. Props to Orton for making it look like what arguably is the most beautiful move in the history.
Submission moves are the safest because you can cheat by not applying pressure. The wrestler giving the move just need to tense up their muscles and the taker just sell it properly and you have a good submission spot.
The stunner is one of the most iconic finishers and one of the safest. I mean, if the person who executes it does the finisher on someone much taller, then it could be dangerous for the neck, but out of that, nothing. The swanton bomb is very dangerous, on the other hand.
The Burning Hammer would be far more dangerous than normal or even tombstone piledriver. While it is most famously used in AJPW, it has been used in WWE's Cruiserweight classic, infamously used by Brian Kendrick againts Kota Ibushi. The outrage is either from Kendrick using the move or Ibushi kicking out of the move
I will say the diving headbutt is the most dangerous move in wwe/wwf. It doesn't look as bad as it really is especially since you really own see a ring master do it as even a slight miscalculation on the jump or landing you're gonna end up concussed if you don't hit the stomach. Anything from the ribs up you end up hurting the opponent causing a fracture or worse. Plus looking at those known to use the move like dynamite kid being completely paralyzed, the move is highly attributed to the reason why Chris Benoit upon autopsy was shown to have a brain similar to an late 80s alzheimers patient. The inventor Harley race says its one of his biggest regrets in life. Meanwhile the piledriver is just freak accidents and has a much much less chance of injury or wear and tear by comparison. As someone who personally loves the diving headbutt as someone who would say in terms of ring work Benoit would be easily top 10 in history I have to say it should be used sparingly and as a finisher for a match that's heavily protected. I wouldn't say as protected as Kenny omega's one winged angel but pretty close to that.
Not bad a couple should have probably been switch but solid video and the brief summary of how to do the move was a great touch. 🤘 Keep it coming these are solid.
The Diving Headbutt, Powerbomb, DDT, Chokeslam, Piledriver and Shooting Star Press are understandable. I was shocked that some of the others moves were actually considered dangerous.
You know, it wasn't that many years ago that the powerbomb was widely considered, by performers, to be the most dangerous move in the industry. Of course, that was before we understood the long term effects of repeat concussions
If you're talking industry-wide, it was also a move done by people who had limited movesets, and limited wrestling experience. It can be done by anyone who's strong enough, so at many smaller companies and a lot of independent shows who is getting done by idiots that had no idea what they were doing.
@@bluebeard6189 you don't even need to be very strong to deliver a powerbomb, as smaller wrestlers often get helped to lift opponents, see Liv Morgan always powerbombing people from corner post or something like a ladder. The spinning powerbomb, like Code Red, can be done by someone who's like 150cm short, see Alexa or Zelina, and otherwise would struggle to loft someone onto their shoulders too... And it looks good, so I see why smaller wrestlers keep someone flipping... Even Bad Bunny could do a Canadian Destroyer because of how receiving person does most of the work.
Imagine that Vertebraker was created by joshi wrestler and she performed more dangerous than WWE even did 11:53 Canadian destroyer is really dangerous but it's not banned anymore
Lol my finished is the neckbreaker where i just forced my enemy's neck 180° to the back. Done it 3 times with each of my enemy ended up either paralyzed or death. Now thats number 1
It's amazing how they talked about the pile driver but no one even mentioned Jerry the king Lawler mastering the Pile driver here in Memphis Tennessee for many of years
As a Scottish guy myself, my patriotic duty’s say I must agree on the Claymore Kick. And my normal brain also thinks that, it’s just a big boot but BOY does it look awesome.
There's no such thing as a sit-out tombstone. A tombstone, by default, is a kneeling reverse piledriver. However, a sit-out reverse piledriver, such as the one Owen Hart performed on Steve Austin, is extremely hazardous, yes. Reverse is the key word here, i.e. belly to belly rather than the normal belly to back.
Michael's specific execution of the superkick/Sweet Chin Music dropping his upper body down to the same angle as his leg went up took the move from good/great to top tier, it made it look as though he were like a compressed suspension spring exploding and releasing all that tension and force. Holy hell, that frog splash onto the figure 4 actually freaked me out and i couldn't help but imagine how badly that could have gone for all 😳
When I was a Backyard Wrestler...and later professionally trained with the Wild Samoans in Allentown Pennsylvania, I had a finisher called "The Rabbits Foot" where I would put my opponent in a crucifix and throw them up into a neckbreaker...it was awesome but very dangerous as I could not see where they would land.
the figure 4 hurts man. did that in school to friends. they did it to me. holy hell, that's a legit move. as well as walls of jericho if you bend you opponent far enough, and crippler crossface. and definitely ankle lock.
The headbutt should’ve be banned earlier when Harley Race had suffered injuries to his spinal cord. If it was banned earlier, Chris Benoit would have be alive. Benoit was warned repeatedly again not to use it, but no.
What a GREAT fucking video dude. I remember 20 years ago watching these finishers and being enthusiastic about them, but now as someone understanding more of pain.... it's crazy that wrestling rings were ok about them. The vertebreaker and the piledriver dude... jfc
The Mandible Claw is one of the best finishers in my opinion because it is safe as the wrestler doing it has a great amount of control over the move, but is extremely believable because they could be literally ripping their bottom jaw off of their skull.
Fun fact: only 2 people kicked out the cobra, sheamus and Daniel Bryan, for sheamus it was with the cobra sock not on but Daniel absorbed the poison with 100% power of the cobra.
I remember at my local indie promotion pcw, AJ styles wrestled Lionheart, and hit the styles clash on him and broke his neck. It's very very dangerous.
Depended on how much he was trying to protect his opponent. Against top guys he'd land more on his feet and hold the ropes more to where it was fairly safe to take. The drop he'd do on jobbers was absolutely criminal, crushed those poor guys.
Santino's Cobra was one of the most dangerous move in WWE. Imagine you missed and eat the eye, you either blind someone or kill him 😬. No wonder martial artists Steven Seagal who was trained by the CIA never used it !
big show ko punch can be either the most safest or the most dangerous ko punch if it done accidentaly or without any proper sell or match goes shoot,it can really knock your down for real
Naomis finishing move is pretty bad, I remember wrestlelamia doing a video about this 2 years ago. Naomi should definitely use running DDT or Monsalt as her finisher
It’s weird how the Chokeslam looks like the THE most powerful thing you have ever seen in your life, but is completely harmless. And the Tombstone piledriver, which looks really weak, is actually so dangerous only the inventors are allowed to use it. Not even as a normal move, but as the last hit in a match.
YOu did give out some information onthe Figure 4. Thre is two versions of this move. #1 is the girure four can apply above the knee cap and yes, it is dangerous while the other is above the shin and this part you are right on.
Yeah the mandible claw is performed with the ring and middle fingers in the opponents mouth putting pressure on the nerves, and the thumb is used for leverage.
Jeff Hardys Whisper in the Wind is dangerous as hell, moreso for the one executing the move. The performer of the move literally has to depend on the one taking the hit to be standing in perfect position, otherwise they (meaning Jeff) could completely injure themselves.
it's not actually that dangerous,the person taking the move is the one in control all that seth is doing is putting his foot there and pretend he's stomping someone

how do you get caught on the rope
I feel like the sitting piledriver is a lot harder to do safely than the kneeling piledriver.
There's piledrivers, and then there is the Steiner Screwdriver.
This was an amazing video 10/10
Am I the only one who likes this man's videos before it even starts?I know it's going to be good.
3:50 Indian flag🇮🇳🇮🇳
Styles Clash is difficult that's why only phenomenal one can do that.
Pildriver is dangerous that's why only phenom can do that
Remembre Michelle McCool ?
Style clash is one of the Coolest Moves in WWE history
12 minutes!? Best gift ever
The Swanton Bomb is the most dangerous, for the guy doing the move. The Iron Claw is the safest I think.
with the swanton u either land on ur neck or back and after a long time using the move it causes problems just look at jeff hardy after doing it
no its ricochet 630 which is like upgraded swanton bomb
One of my favorite moves in WWE is the claymore kick by Drew MacIntyre and Roman Reigns superman punch and spear
to be fair the spear is heavily used by edge and goldberg as well although reigns has transformed it into a signature
Reigns is using it more like a signature, his actual finisher now is the guillotine choke.
As a Scottish guy myself, my patriotic duty’s say I must agree on the Claymore Kick. And my normal brain also thinks that, it’s just a big boot but BOY does it look awesome.
1:50 “has long as they both land flat they should be safe”
meanwhile ricochet:
Where is Dean Ambrose Headlock Driver or Seth Rollins Curb Stomp?? Is there any part 2 of this video??
A normal sit out pildriver is actually very safe, everytime someone got injured it was a sit out tombstone which is extremely dangerous
There's no such thing as a sit-out tombstone. A tombstone, by default, is a kneeling reverse piledriver. However, a sit-out reverse piledriver, such as the one Owen Hart performed on Steve Austin, is extremely hazardous, yes. Reverse is the key word here, i.e. belly to belly rather than the normal belly to back.
I always wondered the impact of the tombstone piledriver on the users knees, especially the undertaker, who's been using it for so many years
Kane said in an interview that he rarely used it because of the work it did on his knees
Michael's specific execution of the superkick/Sweet Chin Music dropping his upper body down to the same angle as his leg went up took the move from good/great to top tier, it made it look as though he were like a compressed suspension spring exploding and releasing all that tension and force.
Holy hell, that frog splash onto the figure 4 actually freaked me out and i couldn't help but imagine how badly that could have gone for all 😳
When I was a Backyard Wrestler...and later professionally trained with the Wild Samoans in Allentown Pennsylvania, I had a finisher called "The Rabbits Foot" where I would put my opponent in a crucifix and throw them up into a neckbreaker...it was awesome but very dangerous as I could not see where they would land.
6:11 Ouch 💀
Bayley's rose plant is the safest finisher ever 😅😅
You gotta love that sharpshooter. My friends used to freak out whenever we played wrestling and I start to put them in that move😅
the figure 4 hurts man. did that in school to friends. they did it to me. holy hell, that's a legit move. as well as walls of jericho if you bend you opponent far enough, and crippler crossface. and definitely ankle lock.
i expected the muscle buster to be in this video considering it almost killed tyson kidd in the ring
The headbutt should’ve be banned earlier when Harley Race had suffered injuries to his spinal cord. If it was banned earlier, Chris Benoit would have be alive. Benoit was warned repeatedly again not to use it, but no.
What a GREAT fucking video dude. I remember 20 years ago watching these finishers and being enthusiastic about them, but now as someone understanding more of pain.... it's crazy that wrestling rings were ok about them.
The vertebreaker and the piledriver dude... jfc
4:47 Dang so thats how there are really big connections 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Most dangerous finisher, the surprise role up
It's not most dangerous, it's Most Devastating.
The Mandible Claw is one of the best finishers in my opinion because it is safe as the wrestler doing it has a great amount of control over the move, but is extremely believable because they could be literally ripping their bottom jaw off of their skull.
one just as dangerous as the piledriver is the curb stomp
I love the safest to most dangerous videos
I know Bret Hart is pissed you put superkick before sharp shooter.
Doubt it, considering Goldberg hoofing him in the mush ended his career. I imagine Bret took pride in not injuring his opponents.
Fun fact: only 2 people kicked out the cobra, sheamus and Daniel Bryan, for sheamus it was with the cobra sock not on but Daniel absorbed the poison with 100% power of the cobra.
Aj doing Styles clash was a beauty in wwe 😢💎🔥
yeah old memories
Aj Styles is and forever will be a true treasure ❤❤
You are awesome ❤
I remember at my local indie promotion pcw, AJ styles wrestled Lionheart, and hit the styles clash on him and broke his neck. It's very very dangerous.
It's dangerous when taken poorly, but safe when taken correctly. Every single injury was caused by a wrestler ticking their chin
I don't think that yokozuna was in wwe but his banzai drop from the middle rope must be dangerous he's 550 pounds
Depended on how much he was trying to protect his opponent. Against top guys he'd land more on his feet and hold the ropes more to where it was fairly safe to take. The drop he'd do on jobbers was absolutely criminal, crushed those poor guys.
Look for the video where Yokozuna did the Banzai drop to Dan Dubiel. You'd be amazed the guy's head didn't come flying off.
Good Video
Ayo where the hell is curb stomp at
Santino's Cobra was one of the most dangerous move in WWE.
Imagine you missed and eat the eye, you either blind someone or kill him 😬.
No wonder martial artists Steven Seagal who was trained by the CIA never used it !
I would take the rear view from Naomi any day
Same
Frr
Maaaan this video is great, you need to cover more finishers. Or also a women's finisher's video
big show ko punch can be either the most safest or the most dangerous
ko punch if it done accidentaly or without any proper sell or match goes shoot,it can really knock your down for real
Naomis finishing move is pretty bad, I remember wrestlelamia doing a video about this 2 years ago. Naomi should definitely use running DDT or Monsalt as her finisher
Unless you're Yokozuna or Rikishi, you're not going to hurt a lot of people with your rear end.
It’s weird how the Chokeslam looks like the THE most powerful thing you have ever seen in your life, but is completely harmless.
And the Tombstone piledriver, which looks really weak, is actually so dangerous only the inventors are allowed to use it. Not even as a normal move, but as the last hit in a match.
Taker and Kane didn't invent it. Andre used it.
Good vid
YOu did give out some information onthe Figure 4. Thre is two versions of this move. #1 is the girure four can apply above the knee cap and yes, it is dangerous while the other is above the shin and this part you are right on.
8:45 Jesus Christ, his neck is finished 😬😬😬
0:55 Undertaker : "it was a bony one"
I wanted to know more about the slamming moves like different types of suplex and throw moves, like f5 attitude adjust etc.
Definitely did not expect #1
Yes first also love your content God bless you your a good content God bless you
Yeah the mandible claw is performed with the ring and middle fingers in the opponents mouth putting pressure on the nerves, and the thumb is used for leverage.
I was really waiting for the swanton bomb
Styles Clash, Vertebreaker, Powerbomb & Piledriver my favorite finishers
Jeff Hardys Whisper in the Wind is dangerous as hell, moreso for the one executing the move. The performer of the move literally has to depend on the one taking the hit to be standing in perfect position, otherwise they (meaning Jeff) could completely injure themselves.
2:48 I messed up my dad‘s knees with the figure four😂he still feels it to this day😢😂😢😂
Seth's stomp is one of dangerous between them!
it's not actually that dangerous,the person taking the move is the one in control all that seth is doing is putting his foot there and pretend he's stomping someone
You should do the dangers of all of the wwe moves
