4. Stone Cold And Owen Hart’s Botched Piledriver
There are a lot of dangerous wrestling moves out there. One small miscalculation could cost a wrestler a few months of work thanks to injuries. In a singles match at SummerSlam 1997, Owen Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin were causing cheers from the crowd with an amazing match. Everything was going well until a badly executed Piledriver broke Austin’s neck. Austin was trying to set up a Piledriver of his own up until Hart countered it. Austin was obviously way to low for the Piledriver and his neck caught both his and Hart’s weight when the move was executed.
Upon landing, Austin was obviously in pain. He was paralyzed for a moment and Hart knew that something was amidst. Hart had to stall the crowd to let Austin recover but instead of the match ending with Austin being stretchered out of the match, it ended with him winning via sloppy schoolboy pin.
