Final reckoning

[@ryanbeverley1546]

I dont know why, but I absolutely love the Coffin Drop that Darby Allen does. It's so simple looking, but he adds a lot of flair to the move, making it look amazing. Similar to Jeff Hardys swanton bomb, with his extra flair of waiting til the last moment to turn his head, it makes the move seem more special

[@Torthrodhel]

Doing a complicated move at whatever consistency you can manage is impressive looking, but doing a simpler move and doing it really well every time is actually entertaining.

[@thegoodsmaster]

@@Torthrodhel awe yes the reverse diving headbutt. worked well for daniel bryan and chris benoit

[@Torthrodhel]

@@thegoodsmaster that was the non-reverse one, but yeah.

[@thegoodsmaster]

@@Torthrodhel but still a unprotected dive is dangerous

[@Torthrodhel]

@@thegoodsmaster the forward facing one is far more dangerous, since the front bump is way less safe just in general. Back bump is the safest of the bumps. Splash bump isn't too bad since you're landing on forearm essentially, but it's still quite a nerve shock all the same. No chance really of hitting your head, though. Falling backwards, wrestlers are trained to jolt the neck in to absorb the shock (and have built neck muscles to allow such a thing). The arms striking to the side helps that too, putting shoulder muscles (again, usually quite built ones) in the way like a pillow. Falling forwards is a lot trickier. Far more difficult to jolt the neck backwards quickly. The standard practice is to turn your head sideways instead, and block with your hands. Avoids the change of hitting your nose on the ground. A Benoit style headbutt was especially dangerous, as he made a point of not putting his hands in front of his face. Some people can do this reliably but he's the example of how difficult it is to tell if someone's doing it right or if they're just not caring that they're doing it wrong. Coffin Drop, way less dangerous move than diving headbutt. Actually probably one of Allin's less dangerous moves, given the other stuff he does. I wouldn't call his style safe, but I wouldn't call his finisher the main danger. Of course if it's done wrong it's still absolutely possible to seriously hurt yourself off it, as with almost any move and especially high elevation moves in general.

Driggo .

While these moves look cool and many can be performed safely, A couple of these, the slightest of slips can kill.
