Pile Driver Position 3: Impact |
| The final, and most critical,
stage of the Pile Driver maneuver is the moment of impact, when the victim's
head, neck, and shoulders blast into the mat. Check out this ripped
dude's head, bent forward at a dangerous angle, still trapped between his
opponent's legs. |
|
| Instead of dropping his opponent
on the top of his head, this guy spreads his legs wide and drives the dude's
forehead down between his thighs. It looks like this will cause a
concussion rather than the usual neck injury. |
|
| Terry Garvin's opponent gasps in pain as his body is bent
and crumpled into an unnatural shape. He never knew he could lick
his own knees! |
|
| CRACK! Another victim
of the Pile Driver finds himself in the humiliated broken position, his muscular
ass up in the air, his head wedged down in the Samoan's crotch. Ouch! |
|
|
| The wrestler outside the
ring is in shock after seeing the jobber in tights destroyed by Funk's deadly
Pile Driver. Did Funk break this kid's head off, or is it jammed down
between his thighs? |
| Another tag team wrestler watches
from outside the ropes as his cute partner finishes off their competition
with the dreaded Pile Driver. Both these sadistic young men are smiling
at the agony they are inflicting on their opponent's spine! |

|
Check
out the look of agony on Steamboat's face as his skull is driven into the
mat, compressing his vertebrae. He tried to press out of this dangerous
position, but his head was tightly wedged between Flair's thighs. |
|
Knowing that Bobby
Duncum is a big, vicious animal, Backlund resorts to a devastating Pile
Driver to defeat him. Normally, the wrestler applying the Pile Driver absorbs
some of the impact with his knees or ass. Backlund, however, allows
Duncum's head and neck to crash into the mat with no cushion. |

| Here are a few interesting
frames from some 1980's comic book about the wrestlers of WCW. Above,
we see Luger about to break poor Z-Man's neck, as he promised he would,
with a vicious Pile Driver. |
| Just to make it more exciting
to the young fans reading the comic book, the author shows Z-Man sadistically
driven onto a metal belt. Lugar's strong legs are drawn in an interesting
position, spread wide apart with the muscular Z-Man's head and long hair
against his groin. |
|
| This computer artwork shows
two shiny metallic droids with ripped steel bodies locked in mortal combat.
One droid tries to break the other by Pile Driving him onto the back
of his head. |
|
|
Wow, Vachon
has completely butchered the poor dude with the huge thighs and blue speedo.
First he busted the victim open until blood ran down his chest and
belly, and now he is Pile Driving the man, trying to snap his neck. |
|
Oh yeah, besides hurting a guy's
neck or back, the Pile Driver can also break his collarbone, as this poor
dude learned. |
| When Scott Bakula wrestled
Terry Funk in an episode of Quantum Leap, Funk tried to kill the
lean young actor with a brutal Pile Driver. This is just evil, Bakula can't
defend himself against big Terry Funk! |
|
| CRUNCH!! Bakula's head strikes
the mat and his body crumples as if he was hit by a bus. His partner watches
the devastation from outside the ring, but is not allowed to come in and
rescue the handsome young star. |
|
|
This is horrible, Bakula may be out cold! He is not a trained
pro wrestler, so he should not be forced to suffer this level of abuse! |
|
Funk holds Bakula in this humiliating
position, his neck bent, his legs spread apart, before dumping his carcass
on the mat like a sack of garbage. |
