#4. The Shooting Star Press

The shooting star press is one of the most popular aerial moves in professional wrestling history. Even though it looks fun when a wrestler does it, it is so dangerous that it could lead to a serious concussion and a broken neck if not performed correctly. It takes a long time to learn and to perfect the move and to make it look phenomenal. Several wrestlers have made it look easy while others failed to do the same.

Shane McMahon botched the move at the King of the Ring pay-per-view in 2001 when he landed on a trash can and one of the most infamous botches was when Brock Lesnar botched the move at WrestleMania XIX, missing Kurt Angle and landing on his head. WWE later banned the move but brought it back when Evan Bourne signed with the company.
