The moves WWE has BANNED for being too dangerous from the Buckle Bomb poularised by Seth Rollins to the piledriver that broke Stone Cold Steve Austin’s neck
WWE is scripted, but it is far from fake.
It's a sentence us wrestling fans have uttered a million times, but the stigma around the business has never really gone away.
Non-fans think wrestling fans believe it is all real. When, in actual fact, any adult knows that not to be the case.
The dangers of professional wrestling are very real. Superstars have been left badly injured, even paralysed from performing in the ring and there's a reason they say 'don't try this at home'.
Last week, WWE banned a move that has been causing a great deal of harm and here, talkSPORT looks at the many others they've outlawed for being too dangerous, starting with the latest.
The Buckle Bomb
Popularised by Seth Rollins in WWE, this move simply sees a powerbomb finished off by throwing the opponent into the turnbuckle.
On the surface, it seems like it wouldn't be much worse than an Irish Whip if performed correctly, but there are multiple instances of it going wrong.
Finn Balor was the victim of one at SummerSlam in 2016 that ultimately robbed him of his one and only title reign in WWE after Rollins performed the move on a barricade.
Sting suffered a career-ending neck injury because of one - also thanks to Rollins - before Kairi Sane was dropped on her head at the hands of Nia Jax on RAW the other week.
That proved to be the final straw for WWE.
The Piledriver
There are countless variations of this move and all require a great degree of care when it comes to your opponent's head.
The standard iteration of a piledriver sees a wrestler lifted up vertically, only for the other wrestler to sit-out, appearing to drive the opponent on their head.
After Owen Hart broke Stone Cold Steve Austin's neck with one, that was pretty much the end. Although there have been a few rare exceptions to the rule.
Chair shots to the head
Given what the world, let alone WWE, has learned about concussions in the past decade, this was a no-brainer.
Chair shots to the head used to be some of the most brutal and emphatic moments in WWE and the sound alone was infectious.
However, after Chris Benoit's death and the state of his brain, WWE decided to take more care.
In January 2010, WWE made the move to ban chair shots to the head and have stuck with it ever since with only a few wrestlers breaking the rules.
The Vertebreaker
This is a move Shane Helms - aka Hurricane Helms - brought to WWE in the early 2000s.
It has a similar set up to Christian's Killswitch, but Helms lifts his opponent before sitting out. The problem with the sit out is, you don't have your eyes on the opponent and they will land directly on their neck if you're even slightly wrong.
Without being able to see their position, it became far too dangerous.
The Muscle Buster
This was Samoa Joe's finish for years, way before he ever made it to WWE.
Most fans will be familiar with Joe's Coquina Clutch now, but he did very briefly use the Muscle Buster in WWE, too.
Unfortunately, the move going wrong resulted in Tyson Kidd breaking his neck at a WWE live event.
The move hasn't been seen in WWE since. Joe was said to be very upset after injuring Kidd and he probably agreed with the decision.
Randy Orton's punt
At the height of Randy Orton's maniacal run between 2007-09, the Legend Killer began running and punting foes straight in the head.
This is another concussion issue where the margin for error was just too small. However, like Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp that was temporarily banned, this is more about the perception.
In keeping with WWE's 'don't try this at home', they didn't want kids trying to recreate something so violent.
Orton pulled it out one more time at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in 2013, but that's it.
The Burning Hammer
This move was brought to WWE by Tyler Reks and, essentially, it's like an inverted Attitude Adjustment, a finisher made famous by John Cena.
The only issue with the move is instead of throwing the opponent off like Cena does, you land with the opponent performing a Burning Hammer.
Given the opponent is already upside down, getting the necessary rotation to keep them safe is hard to come by. WWE saw that fact and put it on the banned list.
