WWE has been a trendsetter in the world of pro wrestling. When the industry was growing rapidly, the promotion left no stone unturned to make pro wrestling more exciting and entertaining. In an attempt to do so, the company greenlit the use of some shocking and brutal finishing moves. So, in today’s piece, we’ll be taking a look at such moves that rocked the Attitude Era.
As we discussed in our earlier stories, the Attitude Era was the golden period for WWE (then WWF). As the content was inclined toward the mature audience, we saw the use of strong language, more violence, and explicit moments. During this phase, wrestlers also used some deadly moves, which were later banned or modified to make them less risky or harmless. Have a look at them below:
The Undertaker’s tombstone piledriver
The Undertaker is hands down one of the best wrestlers of all time, and there’s a reason for it. With his skills and experience, The Undertaker was a safe player to be in the ring with. His Tombstone Piledriver was a risky move, and the veteran used to execute it smoothly. It had all the chances of breaking the opponent’s move if it had gone slightly wrong. In fact, it was eventually banned by WWE and was used only after special permission by the promotion.
