5 WWE moves that hurt like hell in real life

Nakamura has a devastating finisher

#4 Crossface

The Crossface has now been adopted by several wrestlers

Yes, this move is commonly linked to Chris Benoit, but he’s not the only man to use this finisher, and he won’t be the last. For years now, other Superstars have been making the Crossface their own, with the likes of Cesaro and Triple H pulling it out of the bag on multiple occasions. The reason? Because it looks really bloody painful.

Pulling your hands back across the face and nose of your opponent isn’t something that we imagine they look forward to, and it’s a move that has actually proved deadly when used by fans of WWE in the past. So if you’re looking for the moral of the story here, then it’s simply this: please make sure you’re a trained professional before imitating things on the TV. It may save lives – literally.

It's time to play the game.
