8 Wrestling Moves That Really Wouldn’t Hurt At All

6. Vice Grip

Great Khali Vice Grip Triple H SummerSlam 2008

We get it, he's got big hands, but it is difficult to figure out exactly what The Great Khali is trying to achieve here.

Human bone is stronger than concrete and steel, and the skull is designed to withstand massive amounts of force in order to protect your most important organ.

You need around 2,300 newtons (or 235kg) of force to fracture a human skull. This might be just about possible with some kind of blunt trauma, but you could never hope to deliver this kind of force with static pressure via the hands. Considering Khali "only" weighs in at around 157 kg, he wouldn't even be able to break a skull if he literally stood on his opponent's head.

Seeing as there's not much else going on with the skull, no soft tissue or organs to compress or damage, the Vice Grip might, I dunno, hurt your ears a bit?
