10 Wrestling Finishing Moves That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

What a legacy Yokozuna had. The surprisingly agile sumo master became the WWF champion after only 173 days, held the title twice, and won his first Royal Rumble. His achievements are more impressive, since he had a short tenure with the federation.

But what makes Yokozuna iconic is his Banzai Drop. While his opponent lay on the floor, the Wild Samoan finished them off by dropping on them butt-first from the turnbuckle. Not only did this move knock the wind out of the receiver, they had no chance of pushing Yokozuna off, due to his immense bulk.

To avoid the recipient having their ribcage shattered, Yokozuna held onto the ropes and ensured his feet took the brunt of the impact.

But at the end of day, this guy was 600lbs. Any wrestler facing Yokozuna must've been terrified while he prepared his finisher, knowing their career could be over in a moment.

Sadly, that's not a hypothetical. During one match with a jobber, Yokozuna infamously performed a Banzai Drop with such force, his opponent's head nearly popped off his body.

Some sources speculate Yokozuna deliberately squashed the jobber, while other state the incident was an honest mistake. Whatever the real story is, we can all be certain that this particular Banzai Drop must have REALLY hurt.
