Explained in plain English

Are wrestling moves dangerous?

Wrestling moves, like R-Truth's missile dropkick, are choreographed but inherently risky due to the physical impact involved. Performers train extensively to execute them safely, but accidents can still happen, especially from height. The combination of athleticism and theatricality means even seemingly routine manoeuvres carry a risk of injury, as seen in this incident.
