The 5 safest wrestlers in WWE history

4. Terry Funk

Despite all his gimmicks, few wrestlers have been as safe as Terry Funk

If you watch the end of the three-match trilogy between Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat and see Terry Funk confront Flair for his shot at the title, you see how safe he is. Funk, who is a former NWA World Champion himself, gives Flair a piledriver through a table after Flair had already been in a match.

Flair said he was never worried about being in the ring with Funk. The piledriver is one of the most unorthodox moves in the business and has caused injuries to many wrestlers. Funk, who has wrestled all over the world, put his body on the line thousands of times, but still tried to shield his opponent.

5. Kane

Kane is regarded as the safest man on the WWE roster

Everyone knew Kane would make this list. He is regarded as one of the safest and most respected men in the WWE locker room. For this reason alone, he has carved out a career that over spans three decades.

While a lot of fans claim that Kane injured Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins, this is not true. Daniel Bryan’s injury was a part of storyline and Rollins’ injury was technically an accident and not The Big Red Machine’s fault.

For a man of his size, Kane is fairly agile in the ring. Wrestlers who have gotten in the ring with him applaud his craft and his attention to detail. His matches with the likes of Undertaker, Big Show and Mark Henry pitted heavyweights against each other where size and agility did matter. Rarely do you hear of a wrestler who was “hurt” at the hands of the Big Red Machine.
