They may look horrendous, but these wrestling moves are actually a whole lot safer than you think!

End of days = Corbin giving himself a rock bottom.

so you just recapped maven's video?

@jenniferkovalick2959 Ай бұрын

Yeah they did! I watch Maven's channel and they pretty much just ripped it off. Not cool!

None are “totaly safe”. You can get hurt doing ANY move in wrestling. You just need to be trained right.

We need a video of Simon Miller taking all of these and getting up like noting happened to him.

Surprised to not see the Stone Cold Stunner mentioned. People sell it like they're dying- The Rock's oversells are particularly memorable- but the most actual damage it ever did was to Steve Austin's tailbone.

@@BryRobinson to caveat, no move is 100% safe mate. If anything that move falls into clothesline territory, numerous of folk have taken one of those wrongly and receivie an injury, Simon Miller being one. I just like the Hidden Blade as a favourite current finisher, as the question asked within the video implied at around 2:25

Baron Corbin's move does not look that devastating, just saying, how it made this list is crazy to me, The Canadian Destroyer looks much worse and is overused, but it does fit this list more

End of Days, without question. The name and the impact. I love it! My silver medal is the backstabber.

@DaManWithDaStuff Ай бұрын

I’m training to be a wrestler, the reason why the curb stomp is so safe, is that while it might look like the head of the opponent is being driven to the mat, in reality, the foot is just a signal to the opponent that it’s gonna be happening soon. The opponent is actually just doing a very basic front bump, he’s doing most of the work actually.

@TheCrackinskullzx0 Ай бұрын

At least add Mavens channel in the description, you quoted him multiple times.

@michaelsparks1571 Ай бұрын

Everytime he shows up on these lists, I honestly wanna just appreciate how Rhodes has been able to make Golddust's gimmick work for almost 3 decades. The only real change has been to shift from "gay panic"-the-character to "is just a really weird dude, with only a sprinkle of gay panic". Even Undertaker did more-dramatic shifts in style/character than that.

I thought they only banned the name "curb" stomp, not the move. That's why they started just calling it The Stomp. Also, doesn't look like it hurts at all.

I'm pretty sure the Usos and Solo use the hi attack as a tribute to Umaga who is the first wrestler I personally know to have used such a move. I can imagine he wasn't really the first one, though

Baron Corbin's End of Days is a pretty good move. but it is nothing like Roman Reigns or Edge's Spear!! another good finishing move would be Randy Orton's RKO or Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner.

I hate it because it looks so incredibly fake. There is co-operating to make a move look better (code breaker) There is co-operating to make a move safe (curb stomp) But when you need to co-operate to even make the move possible (ie, do a back flip after the do-er performs a front flip) it breaks the illusion of a match being a fight. I'd be happy to never see it again, along with the 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 person suplex-line & the Tower Of Doom. They're all so contrived.

The stomp is one of the worst finishers in wrestling, and it shouldn't be on this list because it doesn't look like it hurts at all. Maybe, it's because I've actually seen people get their heads stomped into the ground, but when Rollins does it it just looks fake. I know I can't be the only one that thinks dude lightly stepping on his opponents head looks dumb. It does look horrible but in the sense that it definitely should not be a finish and it makes his opponents look weak for not kicking out of it 😆 🗑 👎
