10 Wrestling Moves WWE Banned For Being Too Dangerous

5. Dragon Screw Neck Whip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jv0nejZdeg Back to Japan now for entry number five, the Dragon Screw Neck Whip is a technique innovated by Japanese wrestling legend Keiji Mutoh. A variation of the dragon screw leg whip, instead of grabbing the opponent's ankle and whipping underneath to flip the opponent over to his back, the neck whip is executed by grabbing him by the head. As you can see above, the danger is immediate and obvious: the wrestler taking the move has no choice but to land on the top of his head from an unstable and precarious position. The other danger here is the whiplash caused to the victim, the person performing the move is essentially flinging the person solely by their neck. It's a surprise that nobody has ever been severely injured, but perhaps that is because Mutoh is an incredibly skilled wrestler and veteran of many years and knows not to bust it out too often. We dare say that if he had been doing it on a nightly basis, someone would have had a mishap with it by now.
