The recurring bump for some time of Big E's through-the-ropes spear because it never went well. He kept doing it and it's like the one bad mark on that whole period of Usos and Bar matches that were just phenomenal. I can't believe WWE has allowed him to use that move for at least five years now. I can't believe he continues to use it in spite of good common sense that as you said, it's not going to end well. The Coast to Coast is equally dangerous. Hell, he needs to hang it up. Wrestler is not something that has ever fit a McMahon properly.

What does it tell you about modern day WWE when almost no one remembers this bump Owens took? In the context of what both guys have done since then (not that much till Owens recent face run), that might be the most unnecessary scary spot/bump for sure.

Goldberg bouncing on the top of his head while upside down in Saudi Arabia was pretty bad. I suppose that's more of a botch than a bump though.

While not exactly a "bump", Seth almost getting impaled by the Hell in a Cell gets me. *shudders* i remember watching that shit live, and i have DVR, kept replaying that, so insane

Couldn’t find a gif of it, but one of the reasons why i consider Miz to only be a great character and not a good wrestler is that time when he let a 40 something year old Truth fall straight on his tailbone without catching him on a outside bump. That was really shitty of him.

I thought Taker legit broke his neck. He almost got counted out and I thought he was really KOed from how he landed and all the post stories of Snuka missing catching him.

I'll also add that one where Sheamus (I think) nearly broke his leg catching someone coming off the top rope, but I don't recall which match.

Finn and Andrade at MITB would count. There were 2 or 3 bumps in a row in that match that had to have taken years off Finn's career. It was upsetting to watch.

That's the bump that they used to write him off before knee surgery late last year, right? Documentaries have been made for 21 years about Foley taking almost the same bump and nobody remembers this happening less than a year ago.

That's the one. Every time I watch it I get more amazed that Goldberg's still walking and talking.

No mention of Cesaro knocking his teeth into his jaw? Because that was absolutely terrifying.

Ronda hung upside down outside the ropes, then dropkicked and left to fall at WM made me cringe. There are some genuinely nasty ones in here though.

Documentaries have been made for 21 years about Foley taking almost the same bump and nobody remembers this happening less than a year ago. Not quite, he continued to feud with Braun after this, having matches with Braun's MITB at stake. What actually wrote him off was Bobby Lashley's heel turn later that year. This spot was actually a tribute spot to Hell in a Cell, as they were running Pittsburgh about a month after the 20 year milestone of King of the Ring 1998. And yet, this spot won't have a sliver of the infamy that HiaC did.
