Which moves has the world of pro wrestling failed to predict for us? Simply put, where exactly does kayfabe break down?
In the world of pro wrestling, the old concept of the finishing move is universally known. There really could not be a more self-explanatory term; a move so overpowering that it ends a match every time (or nowadays, most of the time). However in real life, without the magic of kayfabe helping things along, it's hard to envision there being so many truly reliable knockout moves in the everyman's repertoire. What would happen, then, if you tried a given finishing move in a real fight? Would the results be everything we've seen in WWE, or would there be some unexpected results? Some would clearly work in the real world, and would indeed end a fight. Superkicks, piledrivers, Pedigrees and countless submission holds would no doubt play out the same way they have onscreen. The question we will be exploring over the course of this article is 'which famous finishers would end differently' should they be applied in a real-life scenario? Which moves has the world of pro wrestling failed to predict for us? Simply put, where exactly does kayfabe break down? Read on, and you may find information that will spare you some tragic decisions should you ever find yourself A) in a fight and B) particularly in touch with your inner grappling fan.
