This video has some great piledrivers of the wrestling variety. Tons of cool variations. Plus I looooooooooooooove motley crue so the tune is a great choice. Also, some cool piledrivers for the hardcore fans (chairs, ladders and a great one to finish the vid).

Man, these guys are good. They're big, muscular acrobats. They train real hard to perfect their moves so they can avoid injury to themselves and their opponents. I know some get hurt, but really to a minimum considering what they do.

One wrong move on those piledrivers and the guy could be paralyzed. :eek: It's a matter of inches.

Yeah wrestlers are pretty much stunt men in my opinion and I agree there's a thin line between safe and dangerous that's for sure. It's pretty telling that there is a limit to what is deemed safe. It's been years now that piledrivers for the most part have been banned from the wwe. You'll note that rarely do you ever see one these days.

For the next vid here's a great compilation of cool tag team double moves. I like this because there are a lot of creative moves and features lots of lesser known wrestlers.

Enjoy!

Apparently, every time a wrestler takes a "bump" like that it's the equivilant of being rear ended by a car going 20-30 kms. No wonder their lifespan is lower than the average person is.

Some awesome moves. I can add a few from the past:

Coco-Butt by Bobo Brazil
Camel Clutch by the Sheik
The Bulldog by Tex McKenzie
The Big Splash by Haystack Calhoun (I think?)
Abdominal Stretch by Dewey Robertson
The Claw (not sure who, maybe Killer Kowalksi?)
Boston Crab (although I saw a few versions of this in the clip)
The Bear Hug by the Beast

The Sheik did the camel clutch. I seem to remember Tiger Jete Singh doing the sleeper?

Valentine did the figure 4 leg lock.

Sammartino also did the Bear Hug just as the Beast did.
