Craziest Wrestling Moves?

[Sekiria]

One of the craziest things I've seen?

Probably Lita doing a suicide dive on Trish Stratus in between the middle and top ropes and damn near decapitating herself on the landing.

Also, any time Petey Williams pulls off the Canadian Destroyer. That is one of the sickest moves I've ever seen.

I just rewatched that Dragon/Yossino/Tanaka/Sasaki match, and there's some pretty crazy stuff in that too. Yossino, who is probably the skinniest pro wrestler I've ever seen, turns a top rope powerbomb into a Frankensteiner just seconds before he was about to get slammed. It looks sick at first, then Tanaka lands on Yossino's lower back and puts him in an obvious amount of pain.

Here's some clips of what I got...most are Death Matches, but there's one clip that's insane. Kawada giving Misawa the Ganso Bomb!

For aerial moves, very little compares to what TAKA Michinoku does in one match on a comp tape I have. His opponent is outside, near one of the corners. TAKA runs towards him and jumps up onto the top rope to do his crucifix plancha. As he does, his opponent grabs the ringpost and swings around the corner of the ring, out of harm's way. Without missing a beat, TAKA bounces off the rope in front of him, lands on the other top rope to his side, and jumps off it to hit the crucifix plancha. Jump, bounce, DEATH FROM ABOVE. It was frickin' BEAUTIFUL.

More obviously telegraphed, but still really well-done, was a spot at the end of one of the best trios matches I've ever seen, a Michinoku Pro match. Jody Fleisch was going for a plancha, Curry Man was in the ring with him. As Fleisch hops up onto the top rope for the plancha, Curry hops on to the second rope, grabs Fleisch, and Rock Bottoms him back into the ring (where he then hit the Spicy Drop for the win). Kicked ass.

Speaking of Fleisch, I was there when he nearly DIED getting an almost-botched Ki Krusher '01 from the top of the ringpost. That was an adrenaline rush, but in a bad way. The same night, I marked out when Hotstuff Hernandez, who is at least 6'3" and 350 pounds legit, hit a picture-perfect tope like he was ReyRey.

For non-aerial stuff, well, there are tons of moves that make me go "damn!", but I think Super Dragon's Psycho Driver (torture rack into piledriver) and Slugger's Body Bag (dominator into an Emerald Frosion-style headspike instead of a face-first bump) are consistently near the top.

And if you'd like to check out insane moves, check here. (It'll ask for a password, but it tells you right in the dialogue box what to put in.)

I got that match on one of my comp tapes!!! That was an awesome finish to a match!

While not as hardcore as some of the other moves mention I always thought Psycosis was not the couple of times I've seen him to that top rope leg drop to the arena floor.

Psykosis was definitely one of the top lucha libre competitors of the 90's, but, like all the other talented cruiserweights, he was way underused by the WCW and used predominately for filler matches, just like Juventud, Rey, Eddie, Dragon, La Parka, Jushin Liger, and even Chris Jericho, early on.

Despite some crazier in-ring moves (Rey's top rope backflip DDT) and some simple insane apron flyaways (Hayabusa's habit of piling chairs onto people before Asai moonsaulting them), I still think that suicide flip to twisting Hurricanrana was one of the most insane things I'd ever seen, along with Ultimo Dragon's top-rope Majistral Cradle/slam. They both could've broken their necks. Mucho respect to these guys.
