The most insane head-drop move ever.

[Guest Breetai]

While moves like the TD '91 and the Burning Hammer immediately spring to mind, I would have to sat the most insane head-dropping move is the Psycho Driver. Are there any moves out there that are more dangerous still?

[Guest J*ingus]

Are you talking about regular worked moves, or are you including fuckups? If so, the time Benoit dropped Sabu on his head was the nastiest thing I've ever seen.

[Guest Dace59]

Psycho Driver rules.

 

Moves like the Diamond Head and Sternness Dust Alpha are nice too.

 

Then there's the Original Powerbomb (Throwing Piledriver/ Vertical Sheer Drop Powerbomb Whip)

 

And the Saber Bomb (Double Underhook Canadian Backbreaker to Vertical Drop TD'91)

 

Oh, and this one is always nasty.

 

Lights Out: Inverted MD2, so the opp is going face first, but as you flip them over, you grab their hair, pull their head back, so they are looking straight down to the mat, and just drive them down in the possistion.

 

And the Veritcal Sheer Drop Thunder Fire Bomb (Over shoulder Powerbomb, throw opp down directly on the top of their head)

I've seen my share of overdoing the bump of "The Impaler DDT" done so well by our former wwe superstar, Gangrel.

[Guest Dace59]

That's just a high angle move though.

Not neck dropping goodness

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Matt Hughes vs Carlos Newton...UFC 34...Welterweight title fight.

 

Matt powerbombs Los on his head and knocks him out cold.

 

Wrestling though...The Burning Hammer kicks ass.

[Guest Dace59]

Arent deliberate neck drops illegal in UFC?

[Guest razazteca]

Dan Severn German Suplex some guy and knock him out on one of the early UFCs.

 

Top Rope Power Bombs rule and all variations of Awesome Bomb

 

Nash vs Giant in WCW

[Guest Basswitch]

Gansobomb. There is no way you can fake that move... or so it looks.

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

As Dace said, The real Ganso Bomb"Throwing Pilediver" where the victim lands right on the top of their head. Probably the nastiest I've seen.

 

In the 96 Kawada/Kobashi 60 minute draw, Kawada takes a Dangerous Backdrop, very hard and right on the top of his skull. A lesser man would have been killed. I do think it was a fuck up, since the move is normally taken on the neck or the back of the head. I actually think it was brutal than the real Ganso Bomb since it got alot more elevation.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

The two Homicide Drivers Kobashi took in his 8/31/93 match with Williams were sick. The camera angles weren't very good but it's easy to tell they were legit head-drops. The Homicide Drivers Kobashi took in their '94 match were tame compared to the 8/93 match.

 

The Chokeslam/Backdrop Driver combo Akiyama took in the 12/6/96 match was also legit.

 

At least two of the Kobashi to Misawa Burning Hammers although brutal were impacted more on one of Misawa's shoulders and not his head. Same way with alot of the AJ headdrops, watch Angle take an overhead releash German Suplex and watch how his head is turned to the side, if something goes wrong he'd land on his shoulder and not his head.

 

The Ganso bomb was sick because it was a verticle drop, most head-dropping suplexes have the victims momentum going one way so the full impact isn't taken on the head/neck.

 

The famous TD '91 from the 6/94 match had most of the impact being absorbed by Kawada's shoulders and not his head/neck but the move looked great.

[Guest Daddy X]

I would say the Burning Hammer, considering it gave Misawa a stinger on the two occasions it was used on him, leaving him imobilized for a half hour. Haven't seen too many of the other headdrops hurt someone that bad.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Arent deliberate neck drops illegal in UFC?

Not a neck drop, head slam.

 

Dude was hanging on trying to lock a choke, Hughes picked him up, walked him over to the fence, and then slammed his head.

 

Carlos was out due to the impact, and Hughes was almost out cause of the choke.

I only have the first Burning Hammer on tape and have seen a vid clip of another one. I don't know which match Misawa suffered the injury but they haven't seemed much worse than the other head-drops he has taken because he protected himself well. The Burning Hammer is a vertical drop but one can easily take it without it being a legit head-drop. I heard Akiyama took a Burning Hammer without protection (With the total impact on his head) and has never been the same since leading to people calling him an underachiever for not fulfilling the potential he once showed.

[Guest Nevermortal]

What's the:

 

Sternness Dust Alpha & The Psycho Driver?

 

Worst head drops I've ever seen was without a doubt The two Backdrop Drivers Kobashi took against Williams.

Psycho Driver: Torture Rack-to-piledriver

[Guest DragonflyKid]

For those who have yet to see the likes of the Burning Hammer or the Homicide Drivers from the '93 match: Rana Revolution AJPW clips

 

 

I'd appreciate a clip of the Pycho Driver, everytime I've tried DLing it in the past I didn't have the right codex.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Psycho Driver is god damn disgusting. I'm not sure if I've seen Sterness, but I seem to remember Dace posting pics, and it was a suplex into DVD type of move. I'm sure Dace will correct me in a few posts.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

Dace posted the link to the following pics of the Sterness Dust: Sterness

[Guest dreamer420]

What about the screw driver.? I have only seen it in one match when Scott Steiner did it to Owen Hart and it is a move in No Mercy as well.

[Guest Dace59]

Scott had his big old legs to protect people in it.

He only did it the Suplex to Inverted Piledriver way a few times anyway.

Now it's just a Cralde Inverted Piledriver.

 

Lyger once did the orginal verision, back in... might have been 96.

 

Sternness Dust = Wrist Clunch Fishermans to wirst clunch firemans carry to sheer drop fishermans buster.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

The Steiner Screwdriver scares the shit out of me, but by far the most brutal head drop I've ever seen is the second backdrop driver in the 93 Doc/Kobashi match.

 

Doc's got a knack for murdering the natives, though.

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

. I heard Akiyama took a Burning Hammer without protection (With the total impact on his head) and has never been the same since leading to people calling him an underachiever for not fulfilling the potential he once showed.

Now hold up a minute. How does being injured, turn you into lazy, no selling spot crazy bastard that can't have a **** match because he's too concerned with taking head bumps and giving them, than telling an actual story. You think a guy who got injured by a head bump, would be more conservative, instead of taking more and more of them.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

I can't figure that out myself, I just remember reading something about him saying something about the afteraffects of the Burning Hammer. His problem does seem more like a lack of passion than an injury. He was the guy who always had the potential to be an ace but was a disappointment when given that role.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Benoit's fucking up of sabu was the ugliest thing ever, but i saw the pitbulls come within INCHES of killing saturn at n2r 95 as well, with a plain HORRIBLE superbomb. You can imagine how much i enjoyed THAT. I think sasuke takes the nastiest neck bumps out of anyone i've seen, like getting release germaned on the ramp or whatever in every frigging match. God knows what his neck is made out of.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Speaking of the Pitbulls.

 

The Superbomb on Raven at Gangstas Paradise...the one where his head smacks the side of the table.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Kanemotos reverse hurricanrana off the top rope. That shit can go so wrong.

Oh, so Jun himself said that, I was about say what gave you that idea. Jun is just making excuses for being lazy and spot crazy. I am a big fan of his 93-98 work, but he picked up alot of Misawa and Kobashi's bad habits in the late 90s, and gradually detoriated. I agree 100% with what Wolverine said a while back, there is no reason that Jun shouldn't be the best worker in the world today.

[Guest wolverine]

Yes, it's indeed quite sad to have seen Jun Akiyama piss away every ounce of potential that he once had and turn into an unmotivated, lazy bastard. What a joke he is. And by the way, the Misawa-Akiyama match from 7/27/01 is THE BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT MATCH KNOWN TO MAN. It ranks right up there with the Kobashi-Williams 9/94, Toyota-Hokuto 9/95 and Misawa-Kobashi 10/98 matches as one I will never watch again as long as I live, it makes me that sick.

[Guest dreamer420]

Bubba Ray Dudley powerbombing Ball Mahoney on the top oh his head at Heatwave 99 (I think) was pretty sick too.
