8 Wrestling Moves That Really Wouldn’t Hurt At All

7. Attitude Adjustment

Slamming somebody down on their back is going to probably knock the wind out of them a bit, but it's not going to hurt as much as you'd think. These kinds of slams are popular, largely because of just how little they hurt, compared to how dramatic they look.

The impact is taken across what is probably the largest surface on your body and, even if you aren't being thrown onto a sprung floor, your body is pretty springy, and this move doesn't drive any force through the more rigid structures such as the neck.

This effect is compounded if you break their fall with, I don't know, a flimsy table. Despite looking more dramatic, this is about as close as you get to a cushioning without actually bringing out a crash mat.
