At a glance, being span around a ring by a freakishly strong and entirely reliable human like The Swiss Superman seems like a breeze in comparison to some of the other moves occupying a spot on this list.

But a quick conversation with Chris Jericho on the back of his recent Blood & Guts Claudio Castagnoli spin revealed that this rotating spot is actually far more terrifying and intimidating than it looks.

So, you wouldn't be that surprised if Jericho eventually finds himself joining the ever-growing list of stars who reportedly aren't in a hurry to take the Big Swing again in the future.

That's according to the former ROH World Champion himself, with Claudio discussing with Chris Van Vliet at Starrcast V (via 411Mania) how many of the adversaries he's unleashed the crowd-friendly swing on would actually go as far as to almost refuse being put in the move ever again after their previous experiences with it:

"...I’ve heard from many people that it’s their least favorite move to take and they absolutely hate it to the point where they almost refuse to take it because it makes them dizzy and they hate it."

It seems going for a spin with the BCC man isn't actually as joyous as it looks...
