10 Wrestling Moves WWE Banned For Being Too Dangerous

4. Poisoned Frankensteiner

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK5F7h4rVRs The original Frankensteiner was invented by Scott Steiner as a variation of the top rope hurracanrana, in which the victim lands on his head briefly before safely rolling onto his shoulders. Leave it to the Japanese then, to take a move and make it ten times more spectacular, but also ten times more dangerous. Only ever performed once during a match between independent wrestlers Koji Kanemoto and El Samurai in the finals of the prestigious Super Jrs. tournament, this version of the Frankensteiner eliminates the recipient's ability to tuck and mitigate the impact by rolling on to his shoulders. That means that once you come off the top, it's a good ten to twelve feet straight down to the mat directly on your head. Fun. It's no wonder it's never been attempted again since, but as one of the more recent moves in the list, we wouldn't be too surprised to see it busted out again in an extreme situation. Those Japanese guys are just insane like that.
