5 Pro-wrestling moves that are too dangerous even for MMA

#2 Go to Sleep

The Great One goes to sleep

CM Punk’s Go To Sleep delivers exactly what it promises: putting victims to sleep albeit without a goodnight’s kiss. The move is a combination of variables that work in synergy, to deliver the most vicious way to end the game. While it delivers high impact and a perfect way to win the bout, the difficulty level in executing it is extremely high.

It involves catching and lifting the opponent onto the shoulders, tossing them and hitting them in the face with the knee. The timing has to be spot on, lest you want the opponent to counter it. But once this devastating move connects, the opponent has to grieve through concussion.

If only CM Punk had held his ground in the first round in his first fight against Mickey Gall, he could have had the opportunity to use the Go To Sleep to its fullest advantage. Or could he?
