  • The 'reason' WWE don't allow moves like this is because they are not what you would call safe. One slip and the guys got a shattered neck. The WWE simply cannot afford to take these kinds of risks with their Superstars, especially considering the money involved in spotlighting and pushing their talent as well as paying them for the time they spend out injured. The WWE looks to protect their investments as much as possible and that means prohibiting moves likely to cause serious injury.

  • @tarison13 if you look at early undertaker the original wwf tombstone driver hits the head on the mat and back of the neck.

  • @jamie69alltime Droz was not injured by a pile driver or any other move that the WWE has banned. That was a botched running powerbomb at the hands of D'Lo Brown. A move which is still permitted in the WWE.

  • Since the Steve Austin injury, the WWE allows 2 wrestlers and 2 wrestlers only to perform any kind of pile driver (unless given special permission)- The Undertaker and Kane (due to their size, experience, and good technique). Honestly though, as impressive as this move looks, it's one of the safer forms of the pile driver because of the way in which the opponent is held up and prevented from hitting the mat, as long as the wrestler has the strength to hold the opponent up.

  • @Jstinger While what you say is true theres moves I see done regularly on WWE/TNA TV which could be alot more dangerous than something like a tombstone piledriver,

  • Really someone whos a seasoned veteran like Kevin Steen doing the package piledriver is probably safer than alot of wrestlers doing something as simple as a suplex, Ive never really heard many accounts of Steen injuring someone doing this move (although I may be wrong, if so someone please elaborate)

  • Some variations of piledrivers are some of the safest moves, unless someone is a dick or inexperienced with doing/taking the piledriver if you notice with most piledrivers the only thing that hits the canvas are the legs/thighs of the guy doing it. Also, it helps to be a big guy, take Undertaker for example 6 foot 10, he can do them with ease.

  • @xXxTheDeadOnexXx1

    you also have to understand, most of the small circuit wrestlers are used to doing matches with the same people ALOT more than the wwe roster. When you wrestle the same person alot, you get to know their rhythm and can trust them with moves like this.

    Same thing for the Japanese, except the reason is most of the stables of training are AT LEAST at the Hart foundation level of technical consistancy, so you can expect them to be able to nail it every time.

  • @xXxTheDeadOnexXx1 So you want their wrestlers to get injured and make wwe bankrupt?

  • Mix of tombstone piledriver and pedigree.

  • wait till my little cousin finds out i learnt this move
