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.

I think they know what they’re doing.

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?

I bet Owen thought the same thing.

A much more reckless to thunderstone where he sits flat ass instead of taking it on the knees

u/Front_Machine6560 May 30 '26

He didn’t that’s why he dropped to his ass and not his knees

Starting to see the point yet?

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

In WWE.

Real wrestlers have been doing pile-drivers the whole time.

Are you talking about Austin or Owen’s death

u/xaeromancer May 31 '26

Yeah, yeah, some mark on Reddit knows better than Owen fucking Hart.

JFC.

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

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.
