Moves that looked legit.

After Kofi's Trouble in Paradise to Miz last week, I was wondering about other times where a fairly standard move looked really brutal.

The only thing I could think of was Goldbergs spear on Nunzio, looked like he ploughed right through him:



Can you think of any other times like this?

They are trained how to fall and "bump", but yes it is incredibly painful landing on your back and knees on a consistent basis. The moves themselves probably don't hurt at the time so much unless botched; it's the long-term damage that leaves you writhing in pain in bed at night where nobody sees you, and being dependent on pain meds to control it. One of the reasons why wrestlers like Punk say they don't intend to wrestle for too much longer.

Sheiky's camel clutch comes to mind, quite possibly because it was legit.

Brodus or Mike Knox using the run cross body caused me to go ouch whenever I saw it.
Goldbergs spear as mentioned.
Punk/Bryans roundhouses.
Sheamusus butt fuck forearms look legit
Bradshaw/rybacks lariats make me cringe.
Shows/Khalis shhhh chops.
