5 most dangerous wrestling moves in WWE 

#2 The Shooting Star Press

Several wrestling moves look breathtaking in the ring, and the Shooting Star Press is one such move. It can look visually extravagant, but it also comes at the risk of putting the wrestler in a wheelchair if it goes wrong. Though it is a high-flying move, a heavyweight wrestler like Brock Lesnar also used it in the early part of his career.

It is not an easy move to execute, and it was innovated by Japanese wrestler, Justin Thunder Liger. The attacking wrestler jumps forward from the top turnbuckle, and he lands on the opponent's body after performing a backflip.

Considering the high risk involved, it can be botched easily. The most famous botch of the Shooting Star Press occurred in a match between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 19 where the Beast landed badly while performing the move. However, Lesnar managed to finish the match by hitting the F-5 on the Olympic Gold Medalist.

#1 Piledriver

The Piledriver is one of the most popular wrestling moves in history, and it is also considered as the most dangerous move in wrestling. Owing to the experience and stature of Undertaker and Kane, they still use it, but the move is banned for other wrestlers in WWE. The Piledriver was invented by Wild Bill Longson.

Due to the popularity of the move, several well-known wrestlers have used the move in their careers. Besides Undertaker and Kane, Bret Hart, Jerry Lawler, Eric Young, Paul Orndorff are some significant names who have regularly used the Piledriver. There is no denying that it looks spectacular in the ring. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the most notable name whose career was cut short after a botched Piledriver from Owen Hart.
