4 Of The Most Devastating Moves In Professional Wrestling

#1 Burning Hammer

The Burning Hammer is the most devastating move in Professional Wrestling. It is terrifying! You are locked in a helpless position and unceremoniously dropped onto the top of your head with no way to protect yourself. If you tuck your chin you land on your neck and compress your spine; if you look upwards you land directly on your head and break your neck. You are completely at the mercy of the person performing it.

Kenta Kobashi immortalized the move and only used it 7 times during his legendary career. It was used as a last resort to beat opponents, and the move was never kicked out of.

Brian Kendrick used the move against Kota Ibushi during the WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament, much to the surprise of the fans. However, the move was much safer, and Kota kicked out of it.
