10 Terrifying Wrestling Bumps You've Totally Forgotten

10. Johnny Gargano Takes One On The Ridge Of The Neck

Forgotten as much because hardly anybody was watching NXT at this point let alone stopping to remember what they've seen, Johnny Gargano narrowly escaping injury during a 2020 battle with newcomer Ridge Holland when the pair under-rotated on a snap powerslam.

Very much the sort of spot that defines the everyday risks of the industry more so than ones exhibiting obvious danger, the move was one 'Johnny Wrestling' would have taken plenty of times, even if Holland hadn't been an expert in delivering it. The lack of torque on the move resulted in Gargano spiking the canvas with his head as if he'd just been hit with a piledriver, and the tenured star noticeably retreated to the corner at the earliest point to get to grips with what had just occurred.

Thankfully, he escaped without serious injury, though the (edited) match was temporarily paused for him to get checked out by doctors as well as NXT officials Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
