10 Wrestling Finishers That Could Legit Kill You
9. Pedigree
Fans won't hesitate to talk about how much Triple H loves to bury people. The master politician has used his influence and sway to make and break careers ever since he married into the royal family, using his position at the top of the table to make himself the second most powerful man in WWE. He's buried plenty of careers along the way, but heavy is the head that wears the crown. Or something like that.
The Pedigree is no joke. The move is a double underhook facebuster, another example of the potential dangers that can arise when the person taking the move is left with no arms available to them. The premise of the Pedigree is to trap a person's face between your knees and to thrust that same face into the canvas at high speed, turning everything to smush in the process.
Attentive fans will have noticed a change in the move over the years. As WWE has tried to create a safer working environment, those using the move have made sure to release the opponent's arms before impact, giving them a chance to break the fall.
If you have your face smashed into the floor, not to mention the weight of an individual heading towards the top of your spine, you aren't going to be getting up any time soon. Hit someone with a Pedigree and you might be sorting out a burial for real.
