@@leonturner2598 let’s be honest, outside of sting looking cool in red, nothing special came out of him being in the Wolfpack. Not long after assembling this group, Nash would lay down for hogan & join forces again. Sting being down with the nwo made no sense whatsoever.
@@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970 that dude was smart he didnt ever need to walk into vince mcmahons ring to make money and he knew it.He faced house hold names without even being in a wwe ring.
Triple H's ego got the best of him and he had to book himself to fued with Sting and interject himself at WM instead of The Undertaker. That'd be like Undertaker coming to WCW and they book him to fued with and lose to Buff Bagwell or Scott Steiner at Starrcade.
I'm disgusted that wwe didn't let Sting win any wwe title at all. All the numerous championships wwe has and they didn't give him even one championship? That was terrible.
I remember when they bought WCW, straight away I thought of sting coming and who he would be wrestling with. To say I was devastated he didn't sign up would be an understatement. He was and still is Mr. WCW,
That was Vince and his cronies grand booking prowess that did that guaranteed. Then Rollins' dumbass with that stupid bucklebomb move that ended Stings career.
@@Kas58223 I know I’m late but trips said that the reason he went over is because they were setting up rock vs triple h for mania 32 but that didn’t happen and if he knew that he said he would’ve lost the match
At least Sting came in at the end of his career instead of after WCW first closed. It would of been way worse. He would of been jobbing to Santino Marella on Main Event.
5 years have gone by, and this match at 31 still burns me up. Completely inexcusable booking. And, of course Rollins had a match with Sting. Good buddy of Hunter's.
@@kamenanew9867 Nice psychology. Where did you learn it, from your mother? First of all Rollins is an unsafe worker and almost ended Sting's career.

Also I aint marking out and clearly you wouldnt know a mark if it dropkicked you in the ass
@@funkyweapon1981 So how then do you imagine that played out? Was the 1st buckle bomb supposed to injure Sting's spine? How could they ensure that even 2 bombs would get that done? Or, once Sting was already hurt, do you imagine that Vince called it in to the ref, who then told Sting & Rollins to go for the move again? I too am curious as to what happened, step by step, as Sting was injured. But, life experience has taught me that's more likely to be manifestation of the wish to be able to turn back time, much like the impulse that Rollins mentioned. As is so often the case, I suspect the truth is more mundane & less insidious than suggested by this conspiracy theorizing.
Rollins also previously broke the bridge of Cena's nose with a miss placed knee before that as well, if I was Sting I would not let him give me one buckle bomb let alone two
They shat the bed with Sting. The promo leading to WM, the actual match and factions and then having him lose. They're lucky he's such a good sport about it all.
And maybe in a huge fan of both these guys honestly if they even had the match between Undertaker and sting I really want sting to win more I mean you're just going to bring him back to make him lose again it just doesn't make any sense
Sting didn’t get jobbed. He was still hot and had a lot of mileage, triple H had lost a lot around that time and it was a harmless win that kept his stock high
@@rockstar450 sting never recovered from that lost and never got his win back from triple h. Triple h gained nothing from that win so really it did more harm than good
It's depressing realizing what wwe has come to nowadays, especially when you look back and see how they booked former wcw stars. I realize a lot of fans these days roll their eyes at this but wwe was so much better during the attitude and ruthless aggression era. Now their nothing more than a corporate entity with boring storylines and a lot of talent that doesn't get utilized all that much. I'm grateful for these types of videos and RUclipsr's though. At least we can relive some of the fun times WWF had to offer at the time. I won't even watch the shows or network now though, it's clear vince truly doesn't care what the fans want since they'll always have viewers. Sigh, rant over.
As much that I grew up with the WWF/E started with the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era. And those two eras are the all time greats. But I started watching wrestling with WCW (WWE's old longtime arch rival competitor) in 1993 up to 1999 with guys with Sting, Diamond Dallas Page, Booker T, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and others before I saw The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, and other talents of the WWF/E. Both WCW (1993-1999), and WWF/E (1999-2013) that I grew up from my childhood years up to my early adulthood years last decade (2010s). But Mr. McMahon doesn't like WCW stars working with the WWF/E stars, but some WCW stars put into success in the WWE like Booker T and Goldberg for example. But man, I feel that the WWE just wasted a potential deal for the Sting vs Undertaker match, and the injury that costed Sting's WWE path. All in all, Sting is always WCW. Always.
My all time favourite wrestler. Sting losing to Triple HHH is the 2nd worst thing ever in wrestling to me. The first being Undertaker losing to Lesnar.
Mate your work ethic is crazy, banging out these videos. Absolutely loving having all this explained to me, fills in the gaps from when I was younger. I’ll be saving this one to watch with my lunch or tea tomorrow aha! Thanks bro!!!
Listen Man, This Episode was Perfectly Done! This might be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE that you've done! I grew up watching Sting and your video brought back so many memories! Keep these videos coming Dude! I am truly addicted!
Stinger! So happy i got to meet him 5 yrs ago ! hope hes happy and deserves the world of recognition! The icon! I got to see him late wcw but mostly remember him in early TNA
in the end, Vince got the last laugh. Not that Sting jobbed to HHH, but how they let Sting go out there during wrestlemainia with the giant bald spot, and camera work to highlight it. WWE could have covered that easily
Sting's WWE run was basically Vince spitting right in his face. So pathetic. I LOVE your channel btw dude! I've watched at least 10 of your videos this week!
The thing that made Sting the best worker that Vince didn’t create was he was able to finish the match w/ Seth Rollins in such an injury. What’s even more dedication from him is that he’s willing to return when he fully recovers. Would this be the final chance to see Sting vs Taker? I hope so.
That loss to H that they booked for sting after waiting YEARS to see Sting at a WM... on his in-ring debut... was the day I stopped watching WWE for good. SO glad Sting is with AEW now.
To be honest, if sting and taker just faced off to a live crowd in the near future I'd be happy. I know they're both retired but that one moment, that last hurrah would be awesome. Hell, I'd love to see them both back in the ring for a farewell match. It doesn't have to be good but it would be a brilliant send off for both of them. Just too see who the better man really is (I'd go for sting personally). Anything from both of them would make me one happy man.
Hearing about Sting uttering Taker's name, on WWE Untold just blows my mind. If Sting vs The Undertaker, ever happens. Let that be The Undertaker's official last match, have the match with a live crowd as soon as COVID-19 completely fades away, and put Sting over in this bout. I love The Undertaker but, Sting needs another win in his career in WWE.
This guys is the best in the business as far as reliving the wrestling glory days. The theme songs at the beginning are amazing and the story telling is spot on. Great job buddy. Keep it up
I'm still pissed, as a lifelong fan of Sting, that WWE buried him so badly. HHH didn't need to be put over, and Sting deserved to wrestle Undertaker -- that would have been the draw of a lifetime right there. It was just purposeless, the whole damn thing.
I feel like the reason the Sting/Taker match didn't happen is because, WWE didn't know his match with Rollins would have been his last match. I feel like if the injury didn't happen, we would have had Sting vs Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.
as a diehard impact wrestling fan, Sting more for the company than whatever money vince threw at sting to join wwe. he was the father of the locker room, he fought alongside some of the guys who would leave for wwe, and TNA/impact became his second home after WCW closed. Impact might of had their issues, but you never once ever question if sting was being buried or punish in impact
Id love a cinematic match between them. I think the cinematic fights have been really underrated. Good production value and storytelling and its great for the guys who can't bump like they used to.
He mentions about how Vince feels about creations that aren't his own. Bischoff was the same! Jericho said himself, if you weren't a Bischoff creation he didn't really care about you. And I'm surprised to hear Taker doubting himself but if he didn't feel up to facing Sting, it is probably best he didn't. I even heard a rumor Sting was meant to come earlier but something happened. 1 month after Wrestlemania of that year...he had that infamous Jeff Hardy Match. He certainly didn't dodge 'that' bullet
Sting wanted a WrestleMania match. After holding out that long, the only way you get that match is by losing. When you try to act superior for that long, you learn real fast who really is in control.
I agree about the second bucklebomb. Whoever called that move, wasn't thinking, AT ALL. I know Sting says it wasn't Seth's fault, and I believe he only says this so Seth isn't constantly booed out of the building. But Seth can be sketchy. Personally, I wouldn't want to work with the guy. Everyone has their opinion.
Honestly just hearing Wrestling Bios talk about how Sting vs Undertaker in the squared circle is what the fans have always wanted brought tears too my eyes. Because its true, two Legends of Pro Wrestling and both Loyal too their promotions.. Its a match that will Never happen now do too both hanging the boots up.. May the Stinger and the Undertaker Live in the Hearts of Wrestling fans forever..
@@julesmcgrules3860 ok an injury basically messed up every plan that year, if all had been fine sting wins that match and goes on to wrestlemania to face the undertaker for the wwe title. that would be my plan as a writer it would be perfect, WCW legend vs WWE legend, two wrestlers that never left their respective companies, yet seth uses a move that happens to hurt someone, sting and rollins agreed to the moves before hand, and he said he was fine so they continued with the planned moves, should rollins have changed it yes maybe but thats not how the cards fell, sting got hurt and future plans were messed up and changed
"just walk away, just walk away"- The Lord Humungus, Mad Max:Road Warrior. Sting vs Taker would have been awesome during The Ministry '99 phase. In some of these pics "Crow" Sting looks scarier than the original Michael Myers. HHH's pattern of making himself look foolish in a feud build up always means he's going over on his opponent where it matters most- Steiner, Booker T, Lesnar, Sting. At least he lived his dream of performing at WM. Looking forward to seeing his tna & wwe work at some point. Steve will always know he has one of the biggest legacies in wrestling history
To me it would have been better to bring him in at the royal rumble. Be like number 20 or 30 and let his music hit and him come out of the rafters and just clean house and set him up to run the title at wrestlemania . Then drop it to to taker later on.
I was never the biggest WCW fan but I always appreciated the man called Sting. It would have been nice to see him get a wrestlemania moment for the fans sake at least.
Vince can't let go. He's still living the Monday Night Wars even though he overwhelmingly won over WCW in the end. The thing was, competition is great and it helped him make a lot of money during the Attitude and Reckless Aggression eras because he had to innovate.
This was a great video. I know that he didn't want to ever sign with Vince, but I just think that he arrived in the WWE too little too late. He only did a few matches, one of which ended his career. It was a shame that we never got to see the match that we, the fans, wanted to truly see - the Icon vs the Phenom.
He and taker would be amazing. And I guarantee taker would want to put him over. Wrestlemania 2021. The last ride match. Sting finally gets a Wrestlemania win, both men have been competing since the 80s, so there's no asterisk. How much more legit of a win at the show is there than taker? So even though there is only one win, it's an iconic one.
Sting said in a Raw promo that making it about WCW vs WWE would be "Ridiculous at this point"...and yet that's what HHH/Stephanie tried their best to make it out to be. Sane with JBL's "We won again" jibe at the end of the match.
This is possibly the best video of WB I’ve watched. I’m not the biggest sting fan but I thought the content and presentation was excellent and very informative. Props and 🙏
Sting didn't resign with WWE. Who knows what the future brings and where it'll be. For me, the height of Sting's carrier was in TNA. Some of my favorite matches where he got to be the seasoned professional, get a couple good runs, and have some classics introducing the world to the future. Aj, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels some of the best out there today. All I'm sorry is there wasn't enough Sting merch lol. Maybe he'll be an coach in AEW.
I'll never hold it against seth, but damn the buckle bomb is a horrible move. Just for a drop to your knees powerbomb instead. And I also never understood why HHH won the mania match. Another excellent video.
"The only thing for sure about Sting, is nothings for sure." Best words he has ever said. Hey I got a nice request please. The story of the rivalry between Sting and Vampiro
Luck was definitely not on his side.. Still sucks to this day that it happened like that with Seth. If we could've just got a few more big moments with Sting..😞
I love this channel. But Sting was the one who suggested losing. He wanted to remain with the classic "put over the younger guy" mentality. Sting has openly admitted a few times that the win was his own influence. But I do agree with your point though. Just Sting clearly had a say in the win.
I came across this channel when I was curious about the Invasion angle and you produced an incredible documentary about that. This was no exception. I enjoyed getting to learn a bit more about the enigmatic Sting and his treatment in WWE, which I agree was more about Vince’s ego in regards to WCW. I stopped actively following wrestling years ago, when I met my wife and decided I loved her more than I needed to watch wrestling. However, I said for years and years that I would return for one match, and only one: Sting v Undertaker. Now that match will never happen, as Sting is, as mentioned, retired for good and Taker has just announced his retirement as well. And both deserve their retirements, hell Taker deserves a entire wing of the Hall of Fame dedicated to him. But that match would have drawn the mark out of me for one more night. That match I wouldn’t have cared who won, because we as fans would have been the winners. I guess the closest thing we will ever have is video game matches, and I’ve seen em all. Just gives me more reason to not watch current WWE programming though. I knew about Sting’s medical predicament at Night of Champions, I did not know that Seth Rollins felt as badly as he did and it really made me feel for him. For him it had to be a dream to wrestle against an icon of the business and to see him literally crumble at his hands was that dream turning into a nightmare. Seth is a stand up guy and an excellent performer in the current era of WWE programming. Thank you for your work. As a former wrestling fan, I find it interesting to look back at old video clips of WWE/WWF/WCW moments and matches and relive the memories but also to see documentaries that give new light to things I had seen or heard.
I recommend that you keep an eye on pateron's situation since they had recently lost a lawsuit (or close to it) and there might be some complications going down soon.
The buckle bomb is a blind bump, it's a more reckless move than any kind of piledriver. I agree with Sting that Seth isn't really at fault and injuries happen in the business, but when you see Seth getting Balor injured with the exact same move and himself deciding to stop using it, you start raising some eyebrows at the whole situation. Yes, wrestling is inherently dangerous and freak accidents do happen, but you can't deny that some moves like buckle bombs and tiger drivers are more dangerous than others.
Remember when Sting said in an interview he didn’t sign with the WWE because he was worried about how he’d be booked.... remember that?
He was on to something wasn't he 🤔
Yeah he was pissed about the way wwe used Booker T
@@marycornett3165 yup, the moment The Rock asked who Booker T was killed it for Sting.

Hearing about Sting uttering Taker's name, on WWE Untold just blows my mind. If Sting vs The Undertaker, ever happens. Let that be The Undertaker's official last match, have the match with a live crowd as soon as COVID-19 completely fades away, and put Sting over in this bout. I love The Undertaker but, Sting needs another win in his career in WWE.
That should be WM37's main event... they would break the attendance record if that happens (assuming COVID is gone by then)
@@TimmyTickle old man Vince would still have his balls up his ass so thats obviously not going to happen unless he dies and Triple H takes over
This guys is the best in the business as far as reliving the wrestling glory days. The theme songs at the beginning are amazing and the story telling is spot on. Great job buddy. Keep it up
I'm still pissed, as a lifelong fan of Sting, that WWE buried him so badly. HHH didn't need to be put over, and Sting deserved to wrestle Undertaker -- that would have been the draw of a lifetime right there. It was just purposeless, the whole damn thing.
Don't forget HHH probably told Seth to injure Sting.
Dusty Rhodes in polka dots was awesome
Just got off of work. This'll be good for the train ride home.
Sting got ridiculously buried by WWE since his debut, even changing his entrance theme
I feel like the reason the Sting/Taker match didn't happen is because, WWE didn't know his match with Rollins would have been his last match. I feel like if the injury didn't happen, we would have had Sting vs Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.
Its obvious they were gearing him as atop tier talent....then he got injured
as a diehard impact wrestling fan, Sting more for the company than whatever money vince threw at sting to join wwe.
he was the father of the locker room, he fought alongside some of the guys who would leave for wwe, and TNA/impact became his second home after WCW closed. Impact might of had their issues, but you never once ever question if sting was being buried or punish in impact
Another thumbs up from me. I get excited everytime I see a notification . Thank you wrestling bios
We all know the dream match is a pre-recorded Taker vs Sting, Boneyard v2
Id love a cinematic match between them. I think the cinematic fights have been really underrated. Good production value and storytelling and its great for the guys who can't bump like they used to.
I hate those matches!!!,it makes wrestling look even faker.its just the worst.
He mentions about how Vince feels about creations that aren't his own. Bischoff was the same! Jericho said himself, if you weren't a Bischoff creation he didn't really care about you. And I'm surprised to hear Taker doubting himself but if he didn't feel up to facing Sting, it is probably best he didn't. I even heard a rumor Sting was meant to come earlier but something happened. 1 month after Wrestlemania of that year...he had that infamous Jeff Hardy Match. He certainly didn't dodge 'that' bullet
Sting wanted a WrestleMania match. After holding out that long, the only way you get that match is by losing. When you try to act superior for that long, you learn real fast who really is in control.
Thanks for that… I learned real fast who the complete moron is… (It’s you)
@@alexmartin3143 Insightful. Hunter is now the most powerful person in wrestling. Sting is... DoA.
I agree about the second bucklebomb. Whoever called that move, wasn't thinking, AT ALL.
I know Sting says it wasn't Seth's fault, and I believe he only says this so Seth isn't constantly booed out of the building.
But Seth can be sketchy. Personally, I wouldn't want to work with the guy. Everyone has their opinion.
Taker and Sting wrestled way back in the early days of WCW.
Honestly just hearing Wrestling Bios talk about how Sting vs Undertaker in the squared circle is what the fans have always wanted brought tears too my eyes. Because its true, two Legends of Pro Wrestling and both Loyal too their promotions.. Its a match that will Never happen now do too both hanging the boots up.. May the Stinger and the Undertaker Live in the Hearts of Wrestling fans forever..
wwe gets stale, hopes sting can help them.
Sting comes, wwe buried sting, sting is gone. wwe even more stale...
Lmao, that's exactly what happened!!
How was he buried? 🤨🤨
@@UnexpectedWonder how was he not?
@@julesmcgrules3860 ok an injury basically messed up every plan that year, if all had been fine sting wins that match and goes on to wrestlemania to face the undertaker for the wwe title. that would be my plan as a writer it would be perfect, WCW legend vs WWE legend, two wrestlers that never left their respective companies, yet seth uses a move that happens to hurt someone, sting and rollins agreed to the moves before hand, and he said he was fine so they continued with the planned moves, should rollins have changed it yes maybe but thats not how the cards fell, sting got hurt and future plans were messed up and changed
@@postle121 Exactly.
Don’t have any money to donate but I really appreciate your content bro keep up the good work
"just walk away, just walk away"- The Lord Humungus, Mad Max:Road Warrior. Sting vs Taker would have been awesome during The Ministry '99 phase. In some of these pics "Crow" Sting looks scarier than the original Michael Myers. HHH's pattern of making himself look foolish in a feud build up always means he's going over on his opponent where it matters most- Steiner, Booker T, Lesnar, Sting. At least he lived his dream of performing at WM. Looking forward to seeing his tna & wwe work at some point. Steve will always know he has one of the biggest legacies in wrestling history
To me it would have been better to bring him in at the royal rumble. Be like number 20 or 30 and let his music hit and him come out of the rafters and just clean house and set him up to run the title at wrestlemania . Then drop it to to taker later on.
I was never the biggest WCW fan but I always appreciated the man called Sting. It would have been nice to see him get a wrestlemania moment for the fans sake at least.
He shouldn’t of signed, he literally got buried
Mania with Sting and Hunter was entertaining to be fair.
Vince can't let go. He's still living the Monday Night Wars even though he overwhelmingly won over WCW in the end. The thing was, competition is great and it helped him make a lot of money during the Attitude and Reckless Aggression eras because he had to innovate.
World Wrestling Entertainment knows How to Destroy Icons and Legends.
I hadnt been watching wrestling for over a decade by the time Sting went to the WWE but this is just beyond sad what Vince and HHH did to him.
After that hhh and sting match. I switched to NJPW.
This was a great video. I know that he didn't want to ever sign with Vince, but I just think that he arrived in the WWE too little too late. He only did a few matches, one of which ended his career. It was a shame that we never got to see the match that we, the fans, wanted to truly see - the Icon vs the Phenom.
He and taker would be amazing. And I guarantee taker would want to put him over. Wrestlemania 2021. The last ride match. Sting finally gets a Wrestlemania win, both men have been competing since the 80s, so there's no asterisk. How much more legit of a win at the show is there than taker? So even though there is only one win, it's an iconic one.
Sting will always be the greatest of all time.
Thanks for doing this video.
Sting said in a Raw promo that making it about WCW vs WWE would be "Ridiculous at this point"...and yet that's what HHH/Stephanie tried their best to make it out to be.
Sane with JBL's "We won again" jibe at the end of the match.
Vince can't seem to stop bragging about buying WCW. I just think "Yes but it was 20 years ago old man. Move on."
I just hope that Sting got a big payday after that Wrestlemania.
This is possibly the best video of WB I’ve watched. I’m not the biggest sting fan but I thought the content and presentation was excellent and very informative. Props and 🙏
Sting didn't resign with WWE. Who knows what the future brings and where it'll be. For me, the height of Sting's carrier was in TNA. Some of my favorite matches where he got to be the seasoned professional, get a couple good runs, and have some classics introducing the world to the future. Aj, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels some of the best out there today. All I'm sorry is there wasn't enough Sting merch lol. Maybe he'll be an coach in AEW.
I'll never hold it against seth, but damn the buckle bomb is a horrible move. Just for a drop to your knees powerbomb instead. And I also never understood why HHH won the mania match. Another excellent video.
"The only thing for sure about Sting, is nothings for sure."
Best words he has ever said. Hey I got a nice request please. The story of the rivalry between Sting and Vampiro
Your videos are so well done
PLEASE do an entire career run down of this man. I would pay for such content..
Goldberg and Hogan have always been very well booked by the WWE post-WCW. Sting should have braved it in the early 00s.
I met him and his brother a long time ago. They were very nice people.
Luck was definitely not on his side.. Still sucks to this day that it happened like that with Seth. If we could've just got a few more big moments with Sting..😞
I always get excited when I see a new video from you! Keep up the great work
The Sting 2k15 live reaction is definitely worth it hahaha! Great content as always :)
He wrestled (WCW) and was beaten by HHH (WWE). The fans were “happy.”
Thanks for another Awesome video
👍
I love this channel. But Sting was the one who suggested losing. He wanted to remain with the classic "put over the younger guy" mentality. Sting has openly admitted a few times that the win was his own influence. But I do agree with your point though. Just Sting clearly had a say in the win.
I cannot believe Seth really did a second powerbomb into the turnbuckle. That really really feels like a hit job ordered by Vince.
I've only recently discovered your channel but I'm completely hooked. Keep up the great work 👍
I came across this channel when I was curious about the Invasion angle and you produced an incredible documentary about that. This was no exception. I enjoyed getting to learn a bit more about the enigmatic Sting and his treatment in WWE, which I agree was more about Vince’s ego in regards to WCW.
I stopped actively following wrestling years ago, when I met my wife and decided I loved her more than I needed to watch wrestling. However, I said for years and years that I would return for one match, and only one: Sting v Undertaker. Now that match will never happen, as Sting is, as mentioned, retired for good and Taker has just announced his retirement as well. And both deserve their retirements, hell Taker deserves a entire wing of the Hall of Fame dedicated to him. But that match would have drawn the mark out of me for one more night. That match I wouldn’t have cared who won, because we as fans would have been the winners. I guess the closest thing we will ever have is video game matches, and I’ve seen em all. Just gives me more reason to not watch current WWE programming though.
I knew about Sting’s medical predicament at Night of Champions, I did not know that Seth Rollins felt as badly as he did and it really made me feel for him. For him it had to be a dream to wrestle against an icon of the business and to see him literally crumble at his hands was that dream turning into a nightmare. Seth is a stand up guy and an excellent performer in the current era of WWE programming.
Thank you for your work. As a former wrestling fan, I find it interesting to look back at old video clips of WWE/WWF/WCW moments and matches and relive the memories but also to see documentaries that give new light to things I had seen or heard.
I don't get why you need to stop watching because.. you love your wife? If she made you choose... thats pretty cringe.
Man, I know it's a long shot but it'd be awesome to have a Taker/Stinger match like the "boneyard" match.
To this day im still sad we never got the undertaker vs sting wrestlemania match.
Cory, we all are.
What I like about his WWE run is that he got money for a few appearances.
I recommend that you keep an eye on pateron's situation since they had recently lost a lawsuit (or close to it) and there might be some complications going down soon.
The buckle bomb is a blind bump, it's a more reckless move than any kind of piledriver. I agree with Sting that Seth isn't really at fault and injuries happen in the business, but when you see Seth getting Balor injured with the exact same move and himself deciding to stop using it, you start raising some eyebrows at the whole situation.
Yes, wrestling is inherently dangerous and freak accidents do happen, but you can't deny that some moves like buckle bombs and tiger drivers are more dangerous than others.
One of the best episodes I've watched so far
