10 Wrestling Moves So Awesome They're Actually Unbelievable

1. Massive Falls (Various)

A salute here to the bravery involved in taking the bumps, even if the rationale is very much only to be praised on a case-by-case basis.

Mick Foley took years off his career while simultaneously solidifying its legacy when he gracefully nailed the King Of The Ring 1998 Spanish Commentary table.

Shane McMahon thought he’d have a bit of that (and then some), and fair f*cks for the bravery of not the artistry. Likewise, there’s been one too many scaffold/high risk table bumps over the years taken by the likes of The Hardy Boyz, New Jack et al, but legacy can take a number of different forms. The really huge ones are unforgettable enough that you’re picturing one right now - that, regardless of the payday, counts for something.
