It's like yo You know I'm saying like it takes it if you can tell you can see the illusion You shouldn't be able to see the illusion and of the the super kick if that makes any sense It should be something that's fluid. You don't really notice it But a lot of times you can tell crossroads as performed by WWE Love the move Is one of the most popular finishing moves in modern wrestling the move looks complicated to perform But it's fairly simple the individual taking the move simply rotates and performs in front face bump It's hard to get wrong and some wrestlers even up to spite their own head when taking the move This has been seen in Rhodes' matches with the likes of Chad Gable This is a pathetic sell the move But shouldn't be attempted by those who are just starting to learn their craft number eight the Hurtlock Bobby Lashley's Hurtlock finisher was popularized by Chris Masters in the bruce of regression error The secret to the submission move is all about the pressure when applying the move A little pressure should be applied and as long as a move still looks legitimate It passes as a credible looking move if the wrestler is expected to escape the hold And then that wrestler in question will usually only apply a tiny bit of pressure This will allow the wrestler to easily escape it Yeah So mission moves of this nature need to be sold with conviction and meaning or the secret is just gonna be exposed to the entire fan base 17 the tombstone pile driver. So at this point the most devastating at that point is it comes to it comes Down to the rest of just being able to sell it to make it look that devastating Eating yet iconic moves in WWE history is the tombstone pile driver This was perfected by the Undertaker as the move can be dangerous But if it's performed by professionals such as the dead man, no harm will come to the opponent The wrestler's head should never touch the mat when delivering the move And in order to make sure the dead man doesn't drop his opponent The opponent will wrap their arms around the dead man giving themselves a ton of support when he eventually falls hard onto his knees For the move to work it requires a ton of cooperation But as long as both wrestlers are on the same page everything should be absolutely fine Number 16 can definitely be dangerous if not performed correctly The styles clash the styles clash has caused a number of interest throughout the move's existence The main reason for this is that certain wrestlers have taken them Completely the wrong way When AJ Styles gets his opponent in the position to slam them into the mat The opponent must not under any circumstances tuck their chin in this can lead to a broken neck The issue is that it's a wrestler's instinct to tuck their chin in during a match So this likely explains why so many injuries have occurred James Ellsworth notably discussed this during Eric Bischoff's podcast and stated You know, it looks good on TV look like you killed me so not like it was like bad or anything But you know, it's just that instinct of fuck your chin, then you know told to do it for 14 years and Yeah, that's all it was but I was okay. It was fine. I didn't you know, I didn't get hurt obviously and AJ's like I like I said earlier in my humble opinion the best in the world and he knows how to adjust the things and Everything, you know, okay after we throw that move is always so scary Oh my god. Oh Cringe inducing it looks like a painful Finisher, bro, you gotta know what you're doing, bro. That's crazy number 15 the STF Oh, man Cena's version of the STF is often criticized the Cena greatly exposes how the move is performed safely Yeah, the lower leg of the opponent should be loosely locked behind the leg of the wrestler delivering the move Then the wrestler delivering the move should then apply a face lock style submission that applies little to no Pressure if this was applied for real, it would cause extreme anguish So it's all about being cautious with the move and limiting how much pressure is applied Number 14 the German suplex German suplex is a very common in modern wrestling But there is a trick in making sure the move is executed as safely as The wrestler taking the move should aim to land on their back or upper shoulder region But sometimes they have a horrible landing and land right on their head or neck According to WWE legend Mick Foley on his podcast. He hates German suplexes This comes from a man who was thrown off the top of the hell in a cell. He stated I'm just I don't like German suplexes I think that over time they shorten careers I do and they destroy the quality of life. So people can attack me for that One, you know the little margin for our eyes more margin for our on the German suplex But that it's just over time. It's gonna wear you out. You number 13 suplex anything dealing with neck region upper shoulder region You take those bumps over time. Eventually Your body's not gonna be able to handle that. You know, you may end up having to get surgery One of the most fundamental moves in wrestling is the suplex the suplex is performed Thanks to clear cooperation between the two wrestlers and the wrestler taking the move will usually post their hand on The wrestler's side which allows them to flip over and take the suplex bump in relation to the wrestler delivering the move They will keep their hand under the wrestler's chin This protects the wrestler's neck and ensures they land completely safe number 12 the F5 Oh, the F5 is an iconic finisher that Brock Lesnar debuted all the way back in 2002 The move involves a Lesnar performing a fireman's carry before spinning his opponent in the air and making them land on their front The move is incredibly safe as Lesnar when performing the move will release his opponent in a way that allows them to execute a safe landing Not that it hasn't happened before but it's quite hard to rest the land on their head when taking the move That is as long as the wrestler delivering the move is someone of a skilled caliber 11 the widow's peak whenever Victoria hit a widow's peak finishing move The crowd would audibly gasp because it looks so devastating That is a cold finisher bro that finisher is actually kind of that whole cold Is that the wrestler taking the move will fall to their knees and Victoria will loosely hold their chin This keeps the rest of his neck completely safe. This applied in a quick motion makes the move look sinister But in reality, it's incredibly safe when delivered correctly It allows the wrestler taking the move to deliver their own unique cell some of the cells of the finishing move have been The razor's edge the razor's edge finishing move is impressive visually And it's a shame that wrestlers are reluctant to use the move Shameless uses a version of the move known as the high cross which he now uses sporadically And it's kept for big matches The move begins with a wrestler placing their opponent's head between their legs Wrestler delivering the move will then lift their opponent over his shoulders in a cross position over his head A secret behind the move is by performing a standard back bump with the wrestler putting their arms out But some wrestlers have awkwardly landed on their head Number nine the frog splash love love Van Damme both popularized the frog splash in the movie still used in modern WWE but the likes of Kevin Owens and Montez Ford to perform the moves Montez Ford has a beautiful frog splash And Surprisingly Logan Paul his frog splash. He gets very great Like this vertical leap the form looks great looks very impactful when he hits someone If Lee though the wrestler delivering the move should look to land on their knees and forearms Which means ultimately they will be taking the majority if not all of the impact The rest has taken a move needs to keep their arms in tight This is to ensure that their arm doesn't take the brute force of the landing Number eight walls of Jericho the walls of Jericho is perhaps one of the most well-known submission moves of all time First Jericho's version of the Boston Crab has one main secret though And it comes down to pressure when Jericho gets a grip of his opponent's legs He barely applies any pressure the reason that the move looks so painful comes down to the opponent's effective selling The opponent has to sell the move as if they're in absolute agony That's how the move is going to be seen by the audience as a credible legitimate submission hold Yep, number seven the body slam one move that is featured in 99% of First moves that is taught to students of wrestling school and the mechanics of the move are rather simple The wrestler taking the body slam will use their hand to post on the wrestlers leg This allows the wrestler delivering the move to safely lift them up and slam them to the mat This makes the wrestler a lot lighter. That's how small The rest are able to slam super heavyweight picking big show up. I believe that was WrestleMania 30. I think the first Andre Battle Royal Him doing that was very impressive. Got a huge pop Thought they were gonna do something with Cesaro here. They didn't unfortunately a long term But this was still an impressive moment It's also common for the wrestler delivering the move to realign their head to the back of their opponent's head This ensures that the rest of the lands back first No boys having a horrific landing on their neck or head area Number six the leg drop Now the wrestler for making the leg drop famous is Hulk Hogan Of course He has to admit that it hurts the wrestler giving the move way more than the wrestler taking it in the kayfabe world It's explained that the movies performed with the wrestler landing on their opponent's neck But obviously if this was actually happening there would be grave consequences Instead the wrestler delivering the move will land on top of their opponent's chest But without full blown contact when the wrestler sits down for the leg drop They will land with their leg bent meaning that they themselves take the majority of the impact number five GTS and I believe Hulk Hogan said that's probably the move that's you know Cause them the most pain later in his years, you know, whenever a wrestler such as CM Punk delivers a GTS It always looks painful to take but there is a secret to perfecting the move and keeping it safe When the wrestler taking the move is about to hit the knee they should already have that beat on the ground Then within the matter of moments of the wrestler should turn their head and safely land their head on the wrestler's cushion knee pad The wrestler will then perform a back bump to sell the impact of the perceived brutality Hey, dawg, so it's a hell of an hour You have to understand it should only be attempted by trained professionals Bro dawg Number four the dawg be selling the hell off of that GTS Just being flopping all over the place Pedigree if a wrestler can take a front-face bump then they can master the sell of triple H's Classic moment right here to execute the move the wrestler delivering the pedigree must let go of the wrestler's arms And this allows the wrestler taking the move to fall safely In relation to the person taking the move all they have to do is simply kick their legs out and land with a traditional front-face bump The key is to land as flat as possible to avoid landing in an awkward position Some wrestlers such as came prepared to land on their knees whilst this is much safer the long-term damage of this type of bump is severe Number three the choke slam Upon a choke slam being set to be delivered First thing to remember is that the wrestler delivering the move should make no legitimate contact with the throat They should have their grip on the opponent's chest And if they insist on having a throat grip under no circumstances should any pressure be applied The wrestler giving the move will then throw out their opponent's arm So the armpit is basically wrestling on their shoulder This allows the wrestler taking the move to elevate themselves up for the move as high as they want to go The wrestler taking the move will then jump and put a back bump and the wrestler delivering the move has to do very little But sometimes a grab of the type should be encouraged so that the rest looking at extra momentum Number two kudigra It's common belief amongst wrestlers that Finn ball as kudigra is one of the most painful moves to take In the sense that it's gonna hurt no matter what but there is a certain way baller can land that can reduce the pain Baller can land on his back almost immediately after coming off the top rope This means that most of the impact is taken on his back rather than going through his feet This is unfortunately the only way of keeping the move safe and the move of this caliber should mainly be left to those wrestlers with experience such as the inaugural WWE universal champion I ain't gonna lie to you when he did the kudigra on that Hell in the Cell match at WrestleMania against Edge And he went feet first through the table that definitely looked like it hurt him like hell That was crazy. And number one the RKO To perform the RKO It's all about timing when the wrestler delivering the move locks in the reverse headlock Both wrestlers need to perform their distinct bumps at the exact same time The wrestler delivering the move needs to jump forward and deliver a back bump Whereas the wrestler taking the move needs to safely perform a front-face bump And they can even throw in some fight on the bump by performing a jump some wrestlers such as Rob Van Dam and Ricochet Much more complex way of taking the move Man, this is a great video. I love videos like this that kind of show how things are done Oh what not and that's respect for the business not to expose it More so tidbits on how these wrestlers actually, you know, take these these bumps and these moves man So comment down below Let me know what's your favorite wrestling finisher of all time that you feel like looks brutal Looks impactful looks like it can legitimately end a match or if you tried it on someone would legitimately hurt them Let me know down below, but I appreciate all of the support you guys have shown on channel road 250k Now I'm seeing and speaking to you to wrestling
