10 Wrestling Moves WWE Banned

These moves are both awesome and dangerous – and for good reason.

Vertrebreaker Professional wrestling is not something that just anyone can do. It takes years and years to perfect each technique and maneuver. From jumping at the right time when performing a leapfrog, to learning how to land properly for a German Suplex, to getting right back up after falling during one of those Superstar comebacks, it is a very difficult industry to be a part of. For the most part, WWE Superstars use maneuvers that can be repeated over and over again with little risk involved; this is how they can keep performing on live TV, at house shows, and on PPVs. Most moves involve the recipient landing on his/her back or shoulders, where damage is minimal. And then, of course, there are the extremes. This list is a continuation of our original article which can be read here. This list will look at 10 moves, or categories of moves, that the WWE has banned from use for being too dangerous. Though many of these moves are seen outside of the WWE, most notably in Japanese promotions, even there, most, if not all of these moves are rarely executed. And when they are, the crowd goes wild.
