5 major WWE stunts performed recently & how they were done
Professional wrestling is one of the most controversial forms of entertainment out there. There are some that feel these talented men and women putting their bodies through hell every time they step in the ring is not worth the pain. While others respect what the business is all about because it's not all car crash action, as there is emotion, effort and energy poured into every narrative.
When discussing the variety of things one can witness in wrestling, the first thing that comes to mind is all the crazy stunts have promotions have done over the last few years. While it would be entirely easy to just go over some of the biggest stunts WWE had produced, this list would be filled with stuff from the Attitude Era for sure. But for now, let's look at what stunts WWE has presented recently, and how they were done.
#1 Big Show little ring
One of the most memorable things about Brock Lesnar's feud with The Big Show back in 2003 was the moment when Lesnar superplexed Big Show from the top turnbuckle. It was a moment that had fans in the arena on their feet in awe, and you could be sure that was not the last time we would see WWE pull this trick.
The ring breaking tactic was used once again in numerous Big Show feuds, and most recently we saw Show being superplexed through the ring by Braun Strowman. We all know that Big Show and his opponent's weight is probably what breaks the ring when they hit the mat, but what is the logistics behind this stunt?
Well, on the 2015 edition of Talk Is Jericho, Big Show admitted that the ring breaking superplex stunt was all staged, as the WWE Stunt Coordinator is responsible for crafting the plan to perfection. Big Show would go on to say that under the ring at the time, there are airbags which were lifted by a couple of inches.
So, now when Show and his opponent is on the top turnbuckle, the ring is like standing "marbles" because it's moving due to the weight of the big men; it's not a stable surface at all to stand on. The rest is history from that point onwards, as Show is superplexed to the mat and the magic of watching the ring being destroyed sends the crowd into a frenzy.
