10 Deadly Spots That SHOULD Have Destroyed Wrestlers (...But Didn't)
How the hell did Kenny Omega survive the last few months?!
Wrestling fans are constantly being reminded that they're currently living through one of the most spectacular and consistently entertaining periods in wrasslin' history, with epic storylines and consistently gripping contests now, incredibly, being seen as the norm.
Said increasingly physical and daring bouts in particular, though, also highlight just how bloody dangerous this business always has been and will continue to be as long as the next generation keep trying to raise the batsh*t bar.
But sometimes the risk is incredibly worth the reward, as the following stars all managed to somehow walk out of certain wince-inducing and jaw-dropping bumps/spots without a serious injury.
Had the following collisions, botches, and falls been marginally different, however, there's a solid chance a number of the following names may have had years shaved off their careers...
...or worse.
Luckily for them, these performers were able to remarkably bounce back from these sickening moments in next to no time at all, with some stars even dusting off a deadly bump to lock-up once again just a few days later!
Being dropped on their heads, crushed through a table, and some of the worst landings imaginable probably should have left this lot with seriously battered and broken bodies...
...but wrestlers aren't your average human beings, are they?
10. It Takes More Than A Botched Muta Bump To Keep Julia Hart Down (AEW Rampage: Grand Slam)
As this list will highlight again before its conclusion, table bumps are no joke, folks.
Even those that go entirely to plan can leave you wishing you'd never agreed to the brutal spot.
So, when a star doesn't quite connect with the wood in the way they hoped, it's enough to leave just about everyone watching on with their hearts in their mouths - and that's exactly what went down during the Great Muta's surprise Rampage: Grand Slam appearance.
As the iconic Japanese star came to the aid of the mighty Sting during his No DQ tag bout alongside Darby Allin against The House of Black, the green misting of Buddy Matthews soon led to Julia Hart being sent crashing through a table off the apron.
Only, instead of smashing through the middle of the furniture, Julia only really clipped the edge of it before slamming the back of her head into the concrete/barricade. It honestly gets nastier the more you look at it.
Thankfully, as confirmed by fellow HOB mate Brody King, the star's hat made it out of the horrendous botch okay. Oh, and Julia then noted how she was all right, too, with the youngster somehow avoiding a serious injury and returning to action a few months later.
Me and my hat are okay? https://t.co/K1qhnZIKfJ
