It is, you know, seen in pretty much every wrestling company and maybe Mick Foley does have a point with that So let me know down below. Do y'all think German suplexes should be banned 619 of the 619 is one of the most iconic and established finishing moves of all time And it's drastically evolved over the years when Rey Mysterio first did the move He would perform the trademark kick then follow it up with the signature West Coast pop Yeah, the issue here was that it wreaked havoc on Mysterio's knees so much so that Mysterio had to amend how he did the 619 Mysterio amended the move to include a frog splash or leg drop And this meant that Mysterio could avoid extensive damage on his knees Prolonged his career Tombstone pile driver at the Undertaker is one of the most ten-year Celebrated wrestlers of all time and his finishing move the tombstone pile driver is synonymous with the dead man Whilst the move itself is rather safe Thanks to the Undertaker avoiding dropping his opponent on their head Yeah It has had a major impact on the Undertaker's health and well-being The Undertaker performed the move for over 30 years and this has gradually impacted the Undertaker's knees Yeah, so that in 2021 take a reveal that he needs his entire right knee replaced Damn six of it. She's I mean it makes sense. You're doing that for over 20 years Coming down straight on to your knees after a while. Yeah, you know Yeah, it probably does have to get replaced and fixed and Omega when the Hardy boys first debuted in WWE They would use a move known as event Omega as their finishing move This would see Matt perform a leg drop from the top rope whilst Jeff was performing a splash from another corner Matt would then proceed to use a leg drop as a finishing move whenever he was a singles wrestler alongside the twist of fate The move whilst exciting caused a ton of issues for Matt And he would casually reduce how often he was using the move as it happens to be one of the most dangerous moves There is according to Matt the problems truly began at Unforgiven 2005 Matt was wrestling a steel cage match against Edge and the finish of the match saw Matt ascent to the top of the cage Oh, yeah from the top of the one of the most craziest Feuds ever in WWE and definitely one of the most crazy is matches This match was so fucking good, bro. This match was great That leg drop from the top of the sale was fantastic the structure this height impact So much that is lower back in his pelvis and began to fuse together completely Oh Extremely lucky that Matt still wrestles on a regular basis There was a smart move on behalf of the former US champion to reduce how often he delivers the move 5 is damn Bro, they're saying is it was about the fuse together from oh wow That's Attack a WWE Hall of Fame and Nikki Bella was forced to take a step back from the wrestling world at WWE in 2015 when it was revealed that Nikki had suffered significant damage to her neck Nikki had herniated discs and a C6 and C7 and it was believed that she was never gonna wrestle again The reason for Nikki's neck injury was because of her finishing move of the rack attack According to Nikki when the doctors were examining her that was speechless that she was doing a move such as the rack attack Five nights a week. Yeah, I'll ultimately cause the extensive damage on her neck. Thankfully for Nikki She was able to return to WWE making sporadic appearances over the next few years Nikki would also make it a mission to find a new finishing move and this would lead to Nikki introducing the forearm smash Which has been her primary finish that since recovering from her neck issues didn't know that man. Hey, I May not be the biggest fan of the Bella's but I can I can at least respect what you know Do them at least being out there trying to put on a good show in the ring and and willing to put their body on The line to entertain people I can I can only respect that number four the o5 for at the o5 for is one of the most Impressive top moves in all of W Is my stuff early has completely removed the move from his arsenal instead opting to use the standard 450 splash as his finishing move Ali would answer a fan question on Twitter in relation to why you stopped doing the move And this is when Ali revealed that the risk isn't worth the reward If you examine the move it does seem to heavily impact Ali's knees This is likely what the WWE star is referencing. That's a good thing Ali is realized early on in his WWE career that the o5 for was gonna cause him long-term damage Hey, the move is sick, but if it's at the cost of your health, I'm all for you abandoned This may have prevented the talented aerial athlete from having further issues down the line Which is smart three the spiral tap AJ Styles has some iconic moves that have become synonymous with the phenomenal ones a legendary career from the styles clash to the Phenomenal forum these moves continue to be used as a finishing move by the former WWE champion However, AJ spiral tap move which used to be a common feature in all of AJ's matches has been semi-retired in recent years Naturally as AJ has been getting older the ability to pull the move This is a spiral tap has become that she looks sick AJ during a twitch stream he attempted a move such as a spiral tap in all likelihood He would injure himself trying it. It's evident that AJ is fully aware of it I'm gonna hold you that move is sick That move is fucking cool as hell That shit look cool, and it look like it hurt for the person getting hit with that move Mitation's removing high-risk moves such as a spiral tap from his arsenal have resulted in AJ having a prolonged career And it continues to feature as one of the major players on WWE programming Number two the diving headbutt Oh, yeah high-profile wrestlers have used the diving headbutt during their careers from Harley racing Chris Benoit to the dynamite kid and Brian Danielson all of these aforementioned talents had great difficulty with neck and concussion related issues And it's been heavily put down to the diving headbutt being a major factor in their established injuries Oh, my race who is widely regarded as the creator of the move He's admitted that he cites the diving headbutt as one of the reasons for his retirement In fact during his final few matches race stopped doing the aerial move all together as he knew That's what was causing his immense pain WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle the move has sort of a whiplash effect which seriously impacts the body Oh my god discuss this while analyzing Benoit's use of the move on an episode of the Kurt Angle show and stated It doesn't move even need to exist knowing what we now know in relation to just how many problems It's caused the wrist certainly outweigh the benefits of the move It's time that the major promotions look to ban the move indefinitely. You know what? I'm all in for it. You know the diving headbutt Yeah, you can do it out just like the chair shots the unprotected chair shots You can do it out with those, you know, it's just I'm all for a wrestler being able to enjoy their lives After they're done with wrestling and number one Hulk Hogan's leg drop during his legendary career Hulk Hogan used a leg drop of doom as his finishing move Paper the move just looks like a basic wrestling move that could be found in any standard wrestling match Yeah, in reality, the move is responsible for causing years of wear and tear on Hogan's body Damn body to Hogan if he could change anything about his life He would have picked a different move as his finisher Wow iconic leg drop as the primary reason for his number of back surgeries Hogan would discuss this topic in depth during an interview on the Los Angeles Times as Hogan added Everyone says they wouldn't change anything about their life if I could change anything it would be my finisher I would never use the leg drop I'd use the sleeper all the back surgeries I've had are because of that damn leg drop Damn I had Scoliosis brother dropping that leg for 35 years did me in Damn I also had the largest arms in the world and I should have used a sleeper hold or another finisher with my arms But they have it first Damn WBW Wrestling The leg drop has caused him so much pain. That's That's insanity. I ain't gonna lie to you like the leg drop doesn't look that devastating But when you think about it, he's jumping up pretty high and He's coming down. He's just landing You know I'm saying and that's probably messing up his spine doing that for 35 years. That's that's insane, bro That's crazy man. This is why I always say I give respect to the wrestlers out there for what you guys do You guys are truly amazing when it comes to Just willingly putting your bodies on line to entertain us.

Let me know man Which one of these I guess you could say moves surprise you the most When it pertains to a particular wrestler Shortening their careers or dealing with injuries the leg drop surprised me the most I did not know Hulk Hogan was really suffering through a lot of pain and stuff like that Just from a leg drop. He had been dropping for 30 plus years So I appreciate all love and support row two. I think I appreciate y'all kicking me see our next one
