#7 Former WWE Superstar Marty Garner suffered a nasty injury from The Pedigree

Triple H’s finisher, The Pedigree, is one of the most exclusive and iconic moves in WWE. Apart from Seth Rollins, we haven’t seen many WWE Superstars use the move.

While Triple H has mastered the move over the decades, he botched it early in his career during a match against Marty Garner in 1996.

During the match against Garner, Hunter Hearst Helmsley went for the Pedigree. Garner, who had never taken the move before, thought it was an attempt at a powerbomb or suplex and did not position himself correctly. He jumped too high and attempted to flip out as Triple H went with the move as usual.

The result wasn’t too pretty as Garner landed on his head and suffered a neck injury in the process. Even though the move badly injured a WWE Superstar, the company continued to air it repeatedly.

Garner was out for three months due to the injury, but thankfully he did not permanently damage his neck. Triple H continued to use the move and has performed it relatively safely ever since.
