10 Most Dangerous Wrestling Finishers Ever

Well, he's not getting up after THAT, is he?

There's a very good reason WWE run those 'don't try this at home' adverts, you know. Every professional wrestling move carries with it a certain degree of risk. It doesn't matter how basic the move is, whether it's a scoop slam, a snapmere or a standard suplex. Land wrong and you could end up taking a trip in an ambulance. That's not an exaggeration, either. If someone is untrained and doesn't know how to fall then taking a move can have very serious consequences. Hell, even trained workers have sustained bad injuries from taking moves that, at first glance, would seem to be innocuous enough. It's the risk every wrestler takes when they step between those ropes. Of course, some wrestlers take far greater risks than others by performing moves that require a great deal of skill to pull and, should they not be done properly, could have very real repercussions. Usually, these moves are saved as finishers. They are moves which nobody should be getting up from and that all but guarantee a three count. Looking specifically at mainstream and indie American wrestling (as well as Japanese puroresu), I have compiled what I believe to be the ten most dangerous wrestling finishers ever. I get a bad neck just thinking about them...
