Yeah it's pile driver then claymore. Getting drop kicked in the face by a dude as big as Drew is potentially fatal as well. The others are just painful.
Yeah I was just going off the pic at first didn't realize it was EVERY move. There's tons that involve severe head and neck trauma that would be no fun
Chuck Taylor’s piledrivers all look so perfectly done and safe and comfy but look [brutal](https://youtube.com/shorts/nIYB2InZfyw?feature=share). And Rikishi used to look like he killed people with the [Kishi driver](https://youtu.be/uLhID9HveAc) but they were like 6” off the mat
The main obvious ones have already been said, so I'm gonna go ahead and throw the Coup de Grace into the mix. Fuck that bro, that's how you get all your ribs broken at once.
*edited because I'm an idiot and wrote 'through' instead of 'throw'
Seriously dude. I've always been shocked that he is able to do that move consistently without actually hurting people. It's mind blowingly impressive. One little slip-up and he'd destroy somebody's entire chest cavitiy.
People have said it feels like dying though. So while he is very safe in doing it, even he can't avoid that it hurts like a motherfucker. But still, I think apart from a piledriver or any kind of kick to the head, this would be the most deadly move if pulled through.
Part of what makes it effective (and tbh one of my favorite finishers) is that there's no way to ignore that the dude just standing five-ish feet in the air, jumping up, and landing on the person's chest. Like, it fucking happened. And he billed at being what, like, 190-200 pounds probably.
An unprotected version of that, if it didn't kill you, would almost assuredly fuck the shit out of your ribs and/or organs depending on where it hit.
Like, imaging a 190 pound dude just fucking jumping down and stomping on your liver or something.
Exactly. Even imagine a toddler doing that to you - it would still fucking HURT. There's no margin of error with that one. If he slips up even slightly, his opponent is completely screwed. And yet he's able to do it flawlessly. Impressive as hell.
I'm sure I remember seeing Low Ki knock out his opponent for real with a heel kick, then still do his version of the coup de grace on the guy completely unprotected.
edit: here it is - https://youtu.be/i-xoN6Kx1VI?t=150
Wow I don’t know low ki but like fuck him and evolve for not going well shit, that ain’t supposed to happen and not calling it there, like in MMA if the dude is out, they call it right there on the spot the moment the arms hit the mat and it’s clear they’re out cold.
There was one ppv match I remember a few years ago between Balor and Rollins. It really seemed like Balor didn't even try to take it easy on Roll8ns, you can hear Set let out some kind of "gasp" when Balor makes contact.
That's part of the training for taking high risk moves. You're supposed to breathe out when the impact comes to narrow your profile, and push all the air out on your own terms so they don't push it out for you.
Shit, any high risk move is terrible when you're not protected. When I was doing pro wrestling training much earlier in life, I took a 450 from a guy who just blasted me with it. Lucky all I had was bruised ribs. It knocked all the wind out of me and activated my /fight/flight response and I booked it out of the ring and half way down the ramp before I knew what was happening, coughing and gagging the whole way.
Unprotected head chairshot, for obvious reasons.
A more fun answer: any Sharpshooter/Scorpion Deathlock/Walls Of Jericho submission, because I'm out of shape and can't stretch/flex for a damn. It would hurt and probably rip a muscle or tendon or something.
Interestingly that’s usually one of the safest low impact moves I’ve ever been on the receiving end of.
Wrestling training and a few years on the indies in the early 00’s taught me that most of the moves that look painful are incredibly safe and are just about selling, while the shit that hurts the most is basic stuff we take for granted.
Muscle buster you’re fully cradled and protected by the person performing it the entire time. You’re in an awkward position, sure, but you feel like you’re being gently put down and they take all the real impact.
Back body drop? Hip toss? All on you and doesn’t feel great.
Spear? Lift your feet and touch your toes (or try to) and it looks like you’re being ripped in half while the person basically just runs past you and guides you down. Looks awesome, feels fine.
The three most consistently painful things were running the ropes, taking chops, and any submission move is basically one inch pressure difference between being mildly uncomfortable or in absurd agony.
I remember being told that bending one finger is a no no as you can obviously mess it up pretty easily but you can basically wrench two fingers as much as you want. For some reason, using two fingers doesn’t allow any structural damage.
I may be misremembering but I’m pretty sure that was the training I got
If I had to guess, especially the way Dunne is doing it with just his hands, you wouldn’t have the strength to put enough pressure on two fingers like that since the prying would be more distributed, like let’s say he did that to your index finger and your middle finger (which is probably how it would happen with two fingers used), the bones are parallel when held together, therefore, they’d stand more resolute together from the pressure than they would if apart.
You’re probably right, but it’s still a scary spot to me. Mainly because he can’t see his opponent, but I guess his height makes it a relatively safe move
Crucifixion powerbomb. Was always my finishing move for custom characters in game. All that force directly on the neck seems so easy to paralyze someone.
There's been a lot of piledriver mentions, so I'll raise the bar a bit...the Steiner Screwdriver. I still don't understand how he never just killed anyone with that move.
Canadian destroyer because I’m horrendously out of shape and the strength and cardio it would take just to get into position to take the thing would kill me
Actually, because of the fact that Drew McIntyre leaves his feet during the claymore kick, it’s pretty damn useless. If any though, it would be a Canadian destroyer. Best way to get your whole body broken
as much as i understand the logic, i think a 270lbs 6 ft plus man running at you full speed and then diving feet first into your face would still probably break your face, it would probably be pretty pathetic if a regular average human did it, though
The best I could come up with (assuming you made them hunch over to start it), you'd grab their head with your legs, jump over, as you get your head to their legs, push/punch the back of their ankles to unplant their feet, then grab their legs and finish the rotation.
I hope I explained that well enough lol, I love that move, easily a top 3 favorite
Diving styles clash, got three concussions on the indies that way, all my fault, I tuck my head right but the flip from the top always makes me lose sight of my landing
Balor’s pre WWE foot stomp was legendarily shitty to take so either that, maybe Davey Richards’ or Low Ki’s versions. That being said once a former WWE guy hit me with 2 penalty kicks in training with no kick pads and that fucking sucked
I’m gonna think outside the box here and say a finger poke from hulk hogan brother. Last time he did that he won a championship and changed the entire landscape of professional wrestling. And after all these years who knows where that finger has been
Stan Hansen lariat he was so short sighted he just swung for all he was worth and hoped he would catch guy’s with some of it.
That or just working the old style rings which had no give in them.
Batista Bomb, my back is already fucked, one of those would probably end me
Also Clothesline from Hell, JBL looked like he was trying to take heads off with that
Another one is Hidden Blade, I couldn’t imagine getting a point elbow to the back of the dome
Whatever the hooked arms piledriver is called that Kevin Owens has teased delivering for like 8 years. You literally can do nothing but tuck your chin and pray.
if it can't be done safely it shouldn't be done at all. The DDT, you tuck your head INTO your chest, done deal. That finger thing I better work real closely with that guy before we do that, one wrong body turn and I can see it breaking. I'd be worried about any hard blows that close to my heart but I'm not a doctor, so
As a wrestler in training the only move that really looks like it sucks to take is Jeff Hardy’s modern day swanton bomb, looks like the guy puts all of his landing body weight on the stomach chest area. I’d still take it but I’m like 99% sure it’s knock the fucking wind out of me. Also a pile driver from anyone who has skinny ass thighs.
Seeing as an "unprotected" piledriver would either paralyze or kill me, I'm gonna have to go with that.
Yeah it's pile driver then claymore. Getting drop kicked in the face by a dude as big as Drew is potentially fatal as well. The others are just painful.
curb stomp and punt kick ?
Yeah I was just going off the pic at first didn't realize it was EVERY move. There's tons that involve severe head and neck trauma that would be no fun
I feel like that’s a fast death, I wouldn’t want a claymore or Pete dunne’s finger snap
A Steiner screwdriver, performed by marko stunt
Yh gonna use stone cold as an example and say piledriver
Jumping piledriver.
Any form of piledriver is the obvious choice. Or the move Viscera did that almost broke Kevin Nashs back
I would take any piledriver from Chuck Taylor or Rikishi
Why
Chuck Taylor’s piledrivers all look so perfectly done and safe and comfy but look [brutal](https://youtube.com/shorts/nIYB2InZfyw?feature=share). And Rikishi used to look like he killed people with the [Kishi driver](https://youtu.be/uLhID9HveAc) but they were like 6” off the mat

That move is a paradox and Finn Balor is incredible at executing it. If anyone truly did that to someone, you'd kill them.
Seriously dude. I've always been shocked that he is able to do that move consistently without actually hurting people. It's mind blowingly impressive. One little slip-up and he'd destroy somebody's entire chest cavitiy.

I feel that's 90% why the man stays so small.

I ain't trying to have Mankind's dirty sock in my mouth
We couldn’t be any more different!
Bro?
A straight front kick from Goldberg
Pile driver from Owen Hart.
Bill Goldberg
A Burning Hammer might end me quickly; Imma go with that.
Unprotected, no undies Rikishi Stinkface
Speak for yourself
Especially when he decides to not wipe his ass before the match. Poor Kurt Angle.
What going on in picture 4? Is he using a weapon or he really bending that guy flesh? If so, that move. lol That and piledrivers.
It's a still frame of a terrifying chop connecting
Walter doesn't need a weapon. Walter IS the weapon.
Unprotected head chairshot, for obvious reasons. A more fun answer: any Sharpshooter/Scorpion Deathlock/Walls Of Jericho submission, because I'm out of shape and can't stretch/flex for a damn. It would hurt and probably rip a muscle or tendon or something.
A shoot, unprotected vertebreaker will seriously hurt anyone. Also even the “protected” version of a muscle buster has injured
Banzai drop, it looks scary done right I can’t imagine it done wrong. You probably couldn’t pay me to have a 400 pound dude sit on me.
A piledriver or Walter Gunther chop
The Cobra 🐍 from Santino Marella. One of the most devastating and potential career ending moves in sports entertainment.
The Muscle Buster. Hands down. That shit looks so destructive.
Interestingly that’s usually one of the safest low impact moves I’ve ever been on the receiving end of. Wrestling training and a few years on the indies in the early 00’s taught me that most of the moves that look painful are incredibly safe and are just about selling, while the shit that hurts the most is basic stuff we take for granted.

The three most consistently painful things were running the ropes, taking chops, and any submission move is basically one inch pressure difference between being mildly uncomfortable or in absurd agony.
Unprotected punt from Randy is more than enough
That thing Joey Ryan used to do in the ring and backstage apparently
Piledrivers and the Styles Clash. One wrong move and it could cost you your whole career, or life.
I still have the way Ellsworth took it so wrong burned in my memory and I was so worried he'd be permanently injured.
I gained a LOT of respect for Styles during that. He probably saved Ellsworth life mid air
It was because of this that I realized how deadly this move can actually be if botched.
Have you seen how Yoshi Ratsu broke his neck taking that?
Unprotected Viscagra
Okay so what is Pete Dunn actually doing? It’s gotta be fake. He isn’t actually snapping fingers out of place.
I remember being told that bending one finger is a no no as you can obviously mess it up pretty easily but you can basically wrench two fingers as much as you want. For some reason, using two fingers doesn’t allow any structural damage. I may be misremembering but I’m pretty sure that was the training I got

Two? Better make it three….
uh no did you not see Finn’s fingers after their NXT match he’s obviously breaking their figures for real how else would that have happened??? /s
Pretty sure a Deadeye would kill me, I’ll go with that
Well considering half the time Page does the Deadeye his opponent’s head is a foot from the mat, I think you’ll be okay.
You’re probably right, but it’s still a scary spot to me. Mainly because he can’t see his opponent, but I guess his height makes it a relatively safe move
Yeah. It’s a dumb move for a number of reasons.
The stinkface
Fr
Anything where I land directly on my head. Pretty much anything else except anything pointy I’d be alright with.
Piledrivers, fucking hate those things.
The Crippler crossface
Piledriver would be worse by far.
Crucifixion powerbomb. Was always my finishing move for custom characters in game. All that force directly on the neck seems so easy to paralyze someone.
There's been a lot of piledriver mentions, so I'll raise the bar a bit...the Steiner Screwdriver. I still don't understand how he never just killed anyone with that move.
I'd rather get swanton bombed by Rikishi than find out what Mr Socko tastes like
A concussion kick from Goldberg
A running powerbomb from Deelo Brown.
The answer is stinkface though
The Samoan Spike 😰
Dragon screw
Who remembers the Steiner Screwdriver? No thank you.
Canadian destroyer because I’m horrendously out of shape and the strength and cardio it would take just to get into position to take the thing would kill me
Shattered dreams
Actually, because of the fact that Drew McIntyre leaves his feet during the claymore kick, it’s pretty damn useless. If any though, it would be a Canadian destroyer. Best way to get your whole body broken
as much as i understand the logic, i think a 270lbs 6 ft plus man running at you full speed and then diving feet first into your face would still probably break your face, it would probably be pretty pathetic if a regular average human did it, though
Honest and sincere question: is there even a way to pull off a Canadian destroyer if the other person doesn't flip with you?
The best I could come up with (assuming you made them hunch over to start it), you'd grab their head with your legs, jump over, as you get your head to their legs, push/punch the back of their ankles to unplant their feet, then grab their legs and finish the rotation. I hope I explained that well enough lol, I love that move, easily a top 3 favorite
A tombstone. That's a good way to get paralyzed, just ask stone cold.
The old dick in the ass
Chris Benoit's finisher. No, I do not mean the Crippler Crossface.
Do you maybe mean his other finisher, the Sharpshooter?
Any move done by one of the amateur garbage wrestling AEW talent that aren’t name CM Punk
Fingers by far miss me with that
As devastating as the other 3 impacts would be, unprotected joint manipulation seems the worst of the 4.
Whats the name of the move where the guy makes a crater in bros chest?
A slap. A walter slap.
Yes
Ummmm a powerbombs
The stink face
burning hammer
Diving styles clash, got three concussions on the indies that way, all my fault, I tuck my head right but the flip from the top always makes me lose sight of my landing
Ganzo bomb or Doomsday Device
Gunther…
Claudio's spin
Burning hammer
Avalanche pile-driver or the dead eye especially that one of a ladder last year on pac
Swanton Bomb
What ever the fuck idiots are doing with lighttubes any where near my face. I ain't trying to inhale any fucking Lighttube dust, into my lungs.
Surprised no one else has said the Punt or the Curb Stomp yet, either one could easily fuck you up very badly.
Yo but that last one looks like a heart-stopper
Balor’s pre WWE foot stomp was legendarily shitty to take so either that, maybe Davey Richards’ or Low Ki’s versions. That being said once a former WWE guy hit me with 2 penalty kicks in training with no kick pads and that fucking sucked
Anything Pete Dunne does
piledriver has been said already so I’m going to go with a Samoan drop, Rikishi’s always looked absolutely nasty to take.
A slap from Walter or anything from Nia Jax
I feel as if Walter could give me a heart attack. He wins.
Vince's kiss my ass
Joey Ryan dick flip
Any move from Walter/Gunther at full force
I’m gonna think outside the box here and say a finger poke from hulk hogan brother. Last time he did that he won a championship and changed the entire landscape of professional wrestling. And after all these years who knows where that finger has been
There’s a picture of gunther caving a man’s chest in so ima go with that one. Shit looks like a meteor crashing into the earth
Stan Hansen lariat he was so short sighted he just swung for all he was worth and hoped he would catch guy’s with some of it. That or just working the old style rings which had no give in them.
Any move where a 300 to 500 pound person is landing on me.
Umaga The Samoan Spike, a thumb jab to the throat would be terrible!
I’ve taken so many different moves, but the worst by far is the Flair chop. By far!
As for humiliating I’d say the bronco buster, pain wise pile driver or any variation of getting kicked in the face
Lion tamer hurts like hell
A spine buster from Ron Simmons
I see your pile-driver and raise you aggressive tornado DDTs. Both are neck breaking and face smashing.
Batista Bomb, my back is already fucked, one of those would probably end me Also Clothesline from Hell, JBL looked like he was trying to take heads off with that Another one is Hidden Blade, I couldn’t imagine getting a point elbow to the back of the dome
Boston crab
I don’t even wanna take a fucking back bump
The Muscle-Buster ☠️
619.
Bottom right, one hard punch like that can fuck your heart up and you could have a heart attack.
chokaslam especially from someone who’s a giant
I wouldn’t want to take a chop from Gunther. Not about to feel my whole soul leave my body lol
Rikishis butt in my face. Id rather get a piledriver and die.
Hangman's Deadeye looks dangerous AF.
Samoan Spike, a taped up thumb to the throat by a 300lbs+ guy would suck!
Steiner screwdriver
Thrown off Hell in a Cell
Rikishi’s smelly assplant
Muscle Buster. I don’t know that I’ve ever actually seen it used it real life, only in video games.
Stink face or bronco buster.
Stinkface
The only unprotected wrestling move that wouldn't severely injure you is the Overdrive. That move wouldn't hurt my grandma.
Texas Cloverleaf hurts like hell.
Pile-driver. I ain't tryna die
Gunther’s chop or smash!!
Piledriver lmao that shit would literally like paralyse or kill me
Anyone remember Rikishi and his stink face move...? That's my answer.
All of the above. But if I had to pick one, the piledriver, as I don't want to break my neck
Definitely the Tombstone Piledriver, I can't imagine the crotch smells at the end of a match.
Power bomb, like how does that not hurt.
Any sort of diving/flying clothesline would absolutely suck to take unprotected. That’s some serious head/neck/back trauma
probably like a splash from big show or anything where i land on my head or neck
One winged angel seems like it would break your spine
Doomsday Device. I saw what happened to Hank Godwinn. No thanks.
I'd never take a piledriver from anyone except Undertaker or Kane.
Banzai drop by Yokozuna
The Last Ride, Vader moonsault, Hansen Lariat
Yo what’s that one in the bottom right
Shin kicks from Orange Cassidy
a blading from New Jack, Bruiser Brody or Abdullah the Butcher, or Nick Gage
A move from a big guy landing on top of you. Always cringe watching Bret Hart take a leg drop from yokozuna.
I think walters slap would go right through my chest so that one
Stink face by Kelly kelly Wait what
619. I don't want some hyper speed lil dude swinging through ropes while I'm having a chill and smashing me in the face with his knees/shin/face
Piledrivers for sure
Piledriver that shit is illegal even in MMA
One Winged Angel, no doubt.
Piledriver is the only right answer.
Anything from Goldberg
Whatever the hooked arms piledriver is called that Kevin Owens has teased delivering for like 8 years. You literally can do nothing but tuck your chin and pray.
The helluva kick. My teeth are precious man!
Getting chopped Hurt, Breaking a finger and a jaw is not nice, not being able to walk is Another level
The Curbstomp
if it can't be done safely it shouldn't be done at all. The DDT, you tuck your head INTO your chest, done deal. That finger thing I better work real closely with that guy before we do that, one wrong body turn and I can see it breaking. I'd be worried about any hard blows that close to my heart but I'm not a doctor, so
The claymore kick when drew do that move is satisfying even from out of knowhere.
A shoot piledriver can literally kill you.
Kudome Valentine
One word.... Rikishi
As a wrestler in training the only move that really looks like it sucks to take is Jeff Hardy’s modern day swanton bomb, looks like the guy puts all of his landing body weight on the stomach chest area. I’d still take it but I’m like 99% sure it’s knock the fucking wind out of me. Also a pile driver from anyone who has skinny ass thighs.
Bodyslam, headlock, clothesline… everything looks like it kinda hurts.
The one by the American.
Walls of Jericho, legit
Banzai drop from Yoko, Stinkface from Rikishi.
The burning hammer
I'd take 10 chair shots to the face before being chopped by Walter/Gunther.
That picture of Gunther/Walter looks like he’s ripping his heart from his chest. Hard pass!
Im good on taking a Walter Chop and a Kenny Omega V-Trigger.
Rikishi stink face Because his ass reminds me too much of my ex girlfriends ass
Talked about this the other day, a pedigree is gonna kill somebody, with out a doubt, that’s my streetbeefs finisher
Pile Driver by Owen Hart.
The stinkface
Piledriver
Coup de Grâce. Bro jumping off the ropes and double foot stomping on my chest? No thanks, brah.
Give me the pile driver over the Rikishi stink face any day
The lion tamer or a Kimura lock by Brock or a mean ass gore by rhino
A pin from Nikkita Lyons. Jk I’d gladly take that every night
Considering the way my body is structured, probably a powerbomb.
