Wrestlers have scripts and they do have pre-determined moves which are carefully choreographed to ensure that maximum entertainment are enjoyed by the audience. But much like a NASCAR event in which some people watch for the excitement of the cars and the beauty of the race, there are those who watch specifically for the crashes. In wrestling, there are many crashes. With accidents, injuries, and even death a possibility in the ring, it is difficult to deny that this entertainment fringes on real danger every time these athletes step into the ring.
To further illustrate that point, WrestleMania, wrestling’s greatest showcase, has risen to an annual event of extraordinary fanfare and interest. This April, WrestleMania 32 will take center stage, and once again, with over 300 matches under its belt, the sport has never been stronger or more popular. There is always one guarantee when it comes to the epic event; good violence. Wrestlers tend to go all out, normally pushing the envelope and even employing moves that the WWE has banned as being too dangerous. And the WWE is not blind to it. They are beginning to face a massive injury crisis. Cesaro recently had to undergo shoulder surgery after he tore his left rotator cuff. A few weeks after Cesaro’s injury, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins suffered a devastating knee injury in Ireland during a wrestling event. With his ACL, MCL and meniscus all torn, he was expected to miss 6-9 months. Randy Orton suffered a dislocated shoulder that sidelined him 4-6 months. Daniel Bryan had serious concussion issues. Nikki Bella was out due to a neck injury. Rusev tore a bicep tendon. Lana suffered a broken wrist and Tyson Kidd’s neck injury has him out at least a year.
The point? This sport can be rough and serious injuries can occur. That is why the WWE has cracked down on creative moves that lead directly to injuries of its biggest stars. These are 13 Moves The WWE Banned For Being Too Dangerous.
13. Wings Of Love
The Wings Of Love is a complicated move that used to be performed by Michelle McCool. The move is all the more impressive being that a woman of her size was able to handle lifting another wrestler in the fashion she did. Balancing her opponent, suspending her up into the air, and then slamming her down face first, was quite the accomplishment. The move is indicative of Awesome Kong’s Implant Buster. The WWE must have gotten numerous complaints from McCool’s victims and they deemed it “too devastating for the WWE girls.” Thus, McCool had to stop using the dramatic move.
