12 Most Paused Moments In AEW History
10. Kenny Omega's Awful Tiger Driver Landing
Fans have largely become desensitised to just how painful something as simple as your run-of-the-mill powerslam is to take.
However, some bumps can still leave folks reaching for the nearest bucket or letting out an involuntary sound of anguish, specifically those that involve being dumped head/neck first at a sickening angle.
And joining Ruby Soho as a talent whose shocking neck landing quickly became one of the most paused and replayed events in AEW history, Kenny Omega's decision to eat the Tiger Driver '91 like an absolute mad man vs. Will Ospreay is as barbaric as non-plunder bumps can get.
Fans and critics were quick to question whether attempting this kind of evidently dangerous move was really a safe thing to do in-between the ropes, with each screenshot and replay of the impact just leaving folks wondering how Omega actually managed to walk out of the arena that night.
But 'The Cleaner' would later go on to defend the shocking moment which produced one of the biggest reactions of the entire Forbidden Door 2023 PPV, telling his critics via Uproxx, "I would never do something I didn't trust myself in performing 100 percent."
Not even a bump this disgusting can keep a master like Kenny "By God" Omega down, folks.
