10 Wrestling Finishing Moves That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

Before settling on the Stone Cold Stunner, Kevin Owens' trademark was his own iteration of the fallaway suplex, The Steenalizer. After packaging his opponent, Owens tossed him over his own body, either onto the mat or into a turnbuckle.

Since neither party have control once the thrower lets go, anything can go wrong, especially if the bridge isn't executed properly. As such, some wrestlers flat-out refused to take this suplex.

Because of the injuries caused by this move, you can't blame anyone who wants no part in it. During a IWGP match in 2018, Dragon Lee performed a fallaway suplex variant called the Phoenix-plex on Hiromu Takashi. Unfortunately, Lee released Takahasi too early, causing him to break his neck on impact. Takashi may have completed the match (somehow,) but was out of action for over a year.

Despite the fact Takashi wasn't paralysed, the incident highlighted the dangers of the suplex, which is why it has never been incorporated into the WWE. In fact, if this monstrous finisher was banned from all divisions of wrestling, it wouldn't come as a shock to anyone.
