http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piledriver_(professional_wrestling)

A Piledriver is a professional wrestling move in which the wrestler grabs his/her opponent, turns him/her upside-down, and drops into a sitting or kneeling position, driving the victim's head into the mat.

The most common piledrivers are the basic belly-to-back, or Texas piledriver, and the belly-to-belly tombstone piledriver popularized by The Undertaker, but many more intricate variants are in use.

Piledrivers are generally considered to be one of the more dangerous techniques in wrestling because of the impact on the head and compression of the neck, if even slightly botched the move can cause serious injury, even paralysis.

For the reason given above a standard piledriver and its closely resembling variants are banned in World Wrestling Entertainment. However some wrestlers like The Undertaker or Kane are allowed to use it. It is also considered an automatic disqualification in pro wrestling matches held in Memphis, Tennessee as the move is banned in that city (Ironically, Jerry Lawler, a wrestler and promoter in that city, uses a spike piledriver as one of his finishing moves). In some promotions in the United Kingdom, the move can result in a fine as well as disqualification. In Mexico, the piledriver (called a "Martinete") is an automatic disqualification and wrestlers usually act as if their neck is broken. "Martinete" generally refers to Tombstone Piledrivers but it is used for other variations.

At SummerSlam 1997, disaster struck when Austin suffered a near-career ending neck injury as a result of a botched piledriver by Owen. After being briefly paralyzed, Austin recovered and was able to win the match as planned, but the incident would force him to take time off for surgery in 1999 and would be one of the factors that shortened his career. Although Austin recounts that he had specifically asked Hart not to perform the dangerous piledriver move on him, where an opponent's head is placed between the other wrestler's legs, and viciously dropped to the mat, giving the illusion of being dropped on their head. In this instance, Austin's head was not safely tucked above Hart's legs when the move was performed, legitimately dropping Austin on his head. In fact, during that match of SummerSlam 1997, after realizing that Austin was hurt, Owen pranced around the ring claiming that Austin was going to "Kiss his ass" (as the stipulation of the match was that if Austin lost, he would kiss Owen's ass). In reality though, he was shocked and scared of the possibility that he may have ended Austin's career. This injury was played up on WWF TV afterwards, to explain why Austin did not wrestle for several months. The WWF would use Austin's injury as a backdrop for his intense rivalry with Owen Hart, leading to various backstage beatings, match interferences and even costing Owen Hart and The British Bulldog their WWF World Tag Team Championship shot at WWF In Your House: Ground Zero in 1997. At the 1997 Survivor Series, Owen Hart would walk into the Montreal arena wearing a T-Shirt mocking Austin's "3:16" moniker: "Owen 3:16" and the back said "I Just Broke Your Neck". Owen would lose the WWF Intercontinental Championship that night at the Survivor Series to Stone Cold. Austin was always angered at Hart for performing the move on him after he requested him not to, and despite the WWF playing up Hart as a vicious crippler, Hart himself was always uncomfortable with it, as he had a reputation of being safe to work with, never having hurt anyone in the ring. Austin harbored a grudge against Hart for injuring him until Hart's death in 1999, one reason being that, according to Austin, Hart never apologized for the incident.

[nicolodeon]

ahahaha! Old school yun eh, he he. When wrestling was still "wrestling" and not sports-entertainment. Uso pa nun ang balian ang braso. Antonio Inoki broke the arm of Andre the Giant using a modified armbar. Wala na yung likes ng mga Freebirds, Dory Funk, Bruiser Brody, Superstar Billy Graham, the Valentine brothers, et al.
