4 Of The Most Devastating Moves In Professional Wrestling

#3 The Muscle Buster

The Muscle Buster legitimately looks like it could cripple you. Samoa Joe folds his opponents over his shoulder and drives them into the mat. The move is relatively safe, but can be devastating if the person taking the move lands incorrectly. Tyson Kidd suffered a career ending injury from taking the Muscle Buster incorrectly, but admitted to not knowing how to take the move properly, because he didn't get the chance to speak to Joe before their match. Joe has used the move for years, and Kidd is the only wrestler to be seriously injured.

Samoa Joe has said in the past that he got the idea for the move from the Japanese anime Kinnikuman (Ultimate Muscle in the US and the rest of the world). The Muscle Buster is similar to a move that a character in the show uses.
