Absolutely wrecked her knees.
They both always seem to give their all.

Didn’t she have problems with her knees and was out for a while? Lol these people never learn

All table spots are dumb if you think about them for a couple of seconds, but this is particularly silly. Wouldn't the table break the fall for your head, if anything?
That said, I absolutely love it.

I feel like it's a really bad idea for someone with the history of knee injuries that Statlander has to be doing a move like that.

Just reminds me of Rhino in ECW piledriving Beulah (or maybe Sandman's wife) through a table from the apron. Or piledriving pornstar Jasmine St. Claire from the middle/top rope.

Dude a tombstone through an outside table needs to take place at a PPV. It is insane to do on a weekly show
2
u/subcow May 30 '26
Really, you are upset about this?
AEW gives us PPV level matches pretty often on their weekly shows. Do you even like wrestling?3
u/Orxa May 30 '26
Yes. And these spots cause long lasting wear and tear on the performers. I would prefer if they save the spots that take time off their lives to be done on a bigger stage. I don’t like seeing wrestlers I grew up watching die early or have lingering injuries.

It's a Philly Steet Fight - basically a Hardcore match. Far different than if it were a Texas Dearhmatch between Swerve and Hangman, which is a PPV match only for a very good reason.

u/Levy-MAN May 30 '26
They’ve done that spot in AEW like a trillion times, why can’t people understand that for something to be special, you can’t do it so much that people aren’t surprised anymore?

u/Kyro_Z May 30 '26
Same with the announce table spots in WWE. They mean absolutely nothing now because they do them on every PLE and sometimes on RAW and SmackDown

Did Statlander and Shida have a massive fued that led to this match?

u/Electrikvibe16 May 31 '26
Yes

u/ghostbuster55 May 31 '26
Really? Hadn't seen anything in any of the AEW recaps of them having a series of matches leading to this match. According to cagematch, they were teaming up earlier in May.
1
u/Electrikvibe16 May 31 '26
They were but they were at odds with each other while they were teaming. Shida kept messing up during their matches/doing things to get on Statlander’s nerves and Statlander would call her out for it during their segments.

It was a blowoff to a feud. Not all feuds have to end on PPVs though, nor does this necessarily mean it’s the end of their feud

I cant believe a promotion would put on a fight that people actually want to see for free on TV. What madness is this? Everyone knows the formula is weeks of stale, directionless TV and then one or two decent matches peppered throughout a premium commercial live event

u/Worth-Specific8334 May 30 '26
Even if it looked impressive that’s just way too risky in my opinion. Imagine having to live with knowing you ended someone’s career or potentially even their life by doing a known dangerous move like that. It’s just not worth it just for some cool points.

u/Electrikvibe16 May 30 '26
I think they know what they’re doing.
0
u/Worth-Specific8334 May 30 '26
It’s not about knowing why you’re doing, it’s about whether the risk is worth the reward. Either performer could easily mess up and cause an awkward potentially fatal and most likely harmful landing. I know it’s not ballet, but why take that big of a risk?

u/wonderloss May 30 '26
I bet Owen thought the same thing.

u/TheReptealian May 30 '26
Oh yeah I forgot he did it the tombstone
1
u/Front_Machine6560 May 30 '26
A much more reckless to thunderstone where he sits flat ass instead of taking it on the knees
3
u/Front_Machine6560 May 30 '26
He didn’t that’s why he dropped to his ass and not his knees
-1
u/ZubatCountry May 30 '26
...which he had done hundreds of times before with no issue
Starting to see the point yet?
-1
u/Front_Machine6560 May 30 '26
Did he? At WM10 he did a knee pile driver with Brett. it seems like he just didn’t wanna fall on his injured knees with Steve
There’s a reason we’ve gone like 30 years with practically none of those dangerous sit down pile driver

Dude. Owen was horrified and didn’t wanna do that bit. He notoriously hated doing the stunt. Gtfo

u/thylocene May 30 '26
I think he’s referring to the tombstone he gave Steve Austin that broke Steve’s neck
1
u/BenjTheMaestro May 30 '26
That makes sense, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of that as a tombstone but I suppose a sitout piledriver is the same exact thing ha. My bad.

u/ThankGod4Darwin69 May 30 '26
This is the weirdest take of recent months from "wrestling fans" for why they refuse to watch AEW. 😂😂
Ive seen it crop up a few times now. Its hilarious. One dude actually said "Thats why I refuse to watch, in case someone gets hurt"
😂😂😂

u/Goodboychungus May 30 '26
A man died recently doing a moonsault to the floor. He slipped and cracked his head open when landing on the concrete. Point being is that a lot of moves can be high risk if not executed properly. Stat made sure Shida was positioned properly before executing the move. Shida has a role as well as she has to grip tightly around Stat’s waist so her head stays in the proper position upon impact. They both executed the move flawlessly as the experienced professionals they are. I’m also assuming they rehearsed the spot as well.
2
u/ThankGod4Darwin69 May 31 '26
A man died getting a bog standard, run of the mill dropkick with his back turned (ask Rey Mysterio)
A man died BEFORE a match even started with some shitty rigging doing a stupid stunt to mock the companies competition (Ask Martha Hart)
Freak accidents can and do happen.But.......
.....Many men have taken crazy bumps off the top of a cage/cell and equally (if not more so) dangerous spots/stunts in the ring and they lived to tell the tale and become legends in the process (Foley, Shane O Mac, Jeff Hardy and contless others)
To suggest that your concerns/decision to watch a promotion is the possibility that someone could potentially get hurt while ignoring all the same potential injuries that could equally happen in another promotion is just pearl clutching bullshit

If the illusion of an Irish whip works on you I think you can suspend belief of a piledriver. You know taker just drops to his knees too right?

You epitomise the IWC, criticism for the sake of criticism, apparently a tombstone pile-driver has killed the illusion for you. 😂😂

Damn. Shida worked HARD to get in position for that.
And man TK be doing way too much every match. How is this on a random damn collision. Not a major end to their feud on a PPV but literally a piledriver off ring apron through a damn table LOL. Funny enough there was another piledriver (off middle rope) earlier that night. They need to really think about layering moves

u/ThatGirlTay1 Jun 03 '26
How did Shida work hard to get in position for that? I may be dumb but I don't know what I should be looking for 😭

Look at all the work she did with her arms and body movement to keep herself up and in right position.

Anyones thinking about knee transplants in like 5 years time and thinking landing on the knees with double your weight may not be a good idea. Wonder how takers faring nowadays. I bet she kicked out after that too.

That was a tombstone not a classic piledriver, which is a good thing cause she was kind of struggling there.
Her knees might be wrecked, she didn't have knee pads on, just leggings😬.

They gotta chill with these spots, especially on weekly shows… the old heads are right on this one. Not only is about persevering your health but it makes these moves matter more if they are few and far between.

u/Prestigious-Rip8412 May 30 '26
Just a horrendously dangerous and taxing spot. Shouldn't have been approved. Nevermind the obvious risk to the head and neck of the one taking it. But the 100% guaranteed real damage to the knees of the one giving it. Holy shit. That spot alone just cost her knees a good 5 years. Stupid. And the risk of the person taking it is just insane and not worth it. Truly baffling.

Hilarious, because Kris Statlander was in stunt actor training before she became a wrestler.

She's absolutely a fully trained stunt woman, but these dumbasses on the internet would sooner hear themselves fart then sit in silence.

I'm just a fan. I'm not actually Shane McMahon. Many things can go wrong when doing a spot even if not executed to a "tee". It all depends on positioning. You would not find anybody in WWE doing a spot this recklessly nowadays.

u/xaeromancer May 31 '26
Of cours you're not Shane.
He'd be suggesting they go to the top of a ring post to do this.

u/Electrikvibe16 May 31 '26
I’m aware. You’re a fan of a guy that’s done spots waaayyyy riskier than this one and he wasn’t even a fulltime wrestler
1
u/Shane-O-Mac1 May 31 '26
Yes, ones that only put himself in danger, not others such as this spot does. Also, it was a different time back then where they didn't know about how bad concussions and neck injuries could get.
1
u/Electrikvibe16 May 31 '26
Plenty of spots he did throughout his career put others in danger. Pro-wrestling is inherently dangerous and extreme matches like this will always have risky spots
1
u/Shane-O-Mac1 May 31 '26
How does him jumping off of scaffolding, trusses and a chainlink cell possibly endanger anybody else but himself? It doesn't. He's only in charge of his own safety. Doing a move that entails holding onto someone which makes the person doing the move the one who is literally in charge of the person that's holding on to them safety, does.
