5 Dangerous wrestling moves that involve Spiking

Kevin Owens about to K.O. his opponent

#1 Poisoned Frankensteiner

A truly frightening move

Originally the move was invented by Scott Steiner, but the Japanese took the latter’s version and made it much more lethal.

The two versions of the move differ extremely. With Steiner’s version, the opponent would be able to control how his victim landed when he flipped them frontwards off the top rope. The victim could roll forward and out of harm’s way.

However, if an opponent performs the Poisoned Frankensteiner, they wrap their legs on the back of the opponent’s neck and pulls them in a backwards Hurricanrana-like motion in which the victim lands directly on their head.

The worst thing about this move is that the person receiving the move is completely unable to control how they hit the mat, which can lead to serious injury if the move isn’t executed properly.
