5 Moves that have been banned in WWE

#2 The Vertebreaker

The Hurricane, the inventor of the Vertebreaker, which is now banned in WWE.

With his bright green attire, love of Superheroes (especially Green Lantern) and his wacky persona, it's hard to see The Hurricane as anything than a fun-loving guy. But the former Cruiserweight Champion actually had one of the most dangerous moves in WWE, The Vertebreaker, which is now banned.

An invention of Hurricane Helms, the Vertebreaker would see a Superstar lift their opponent into a backdrop, before dropping them with a revere piledriver, leaving their opponents to take the brunt on their head and neck.

Amazingly, Helms never injured anyone with the move, though plenty of imitators outside of the WWE did. It was with this in mind that the company thought it was too dangerous, even for the man who had invented the move and banned the company's resident Superhero from ever using the move again.
