10 Wrestling Moves WWE Banned For Being Too Dangerous

8. Avalanche Bloody Sunday

tumblrtumblrThe simple DDT, made famous by Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, looks devastating but is actually relatively safe as both wrestlers are in a stable position during the set up and they have plenty of time to safely cradle the head before execution. Take away the stability and you have a high speed drop onto what could be somebody's skull if either performer moves an inch out of position. That is what you're looking at when you witness prominent independent wrestler Prince Devitt his signature flying top rope DDT on his opponent. The danger here is giving the victim a serious concussion as he freefalls on to his face. The risk is somewhat alleviated by Devitt's incredible prowess and capability on the top rope, but the appropriate care must still must be taken to avoid any serious head injuries. Word has the WWE are incredibly interested in Devitt and we could be seeing him make his NXT debut fairly soon. If that does happen, we doubt Devitt will be bringing this incredibly risky finishing move with him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gdQm_6cmM
