10 Disgusting Wrestling Bumps They Should Have BANNED
2. The Wooden Board Phoenix Splash
While on the subject of frightening wood bumps, AEW's first PPV after the debut of Dynamite brought with it a move so nauseating, it's likely you'll still need a moment to compose yourself after watching it back today.
After already dropping Jon Moxley head-first onto the exposed plywood canvas during the closing stages of their wonderfully violent clash at Full Gear 2019, Kenny Omega took things up a disgusting notch with a top-rope special.
At one moment magnificent, then harrowing the next, 'The Cleaner' looked to nail Mox with a Phoenix Splash, but ended up having his fall broken by nothing but unforgiving wood.
The noise will stick with you longer than the distressing visual.
Bodies weren't made to meet that kind of surface at those sort of speeds, and the audible groans that met Kenny's failure to connect told the story of an audience who likely sensed they'd just witnessed a move too far.
Omega was done one Death Rider later, of course. But not before this wooden landing likely joined the top-rope hurricanrana on the Omega "never again" list.
