10 Most Impractical Wrestling Moves

Not all pro wrestling moves make sense.

Not all pro wrestling moves make sense. At its core, professional wrestling requires suspension of belief, especially in order to be sold on the idea that the wrestling moves performed in the ring actually hurt. While some moves are €˜effective€™ because of their simplicity, such as the Sweet Chin Music or the Clothesline from Hell, others moves are more €˜flashy€™ or otherwise impractical. The following list contains 10 moves that don€™t seem practical in terms of their use; either they hurt the user as much as or more than the recipient, or they are simply so outlandish in their use that they only belong in a wrestling ring. The following is a list of ten wrestling maneuvers that appear to be impractical in their use. This isn€™t a list of wrestling moves than would be effective in a real fight; if it was, this list would go into the hundreds. Instead, this article will look at moves that, even when you suspend your disbelief when watching professional wrestling, you think to yourself, €œthat moves doesn€™t make sense€. A move€™s impracticality can come from its complexity or from its overall presentation, but what matters most is that these 10 moves are simply too outlandish in their use, even for wrestling.
