The top-rope brainbuster is one of the most shocking, awe-inspiring moves in professional wrestling.

But when it goes wrong, boy does it go wrong.
Take this example, where a wrestler picked his opponent up, went to attempt the move, but missed the turnbuckle and slammed his head/neck into the mat.
You're naturally thinking the guy broke his neck/was carted out in an ambulance/possibly died, but the user who posted the clip shared some insight into what actually happened, via Reddit (H/T Uproxx)
"Falls count anywhere match. This happens and he rolls outside yelling he can't move anything and that his neck is broken. Crowd is standing in silence. Commentary mentions theres people in the audience calling an ambulance. Promoter, ring crew, ref, and opponent all stand around checking on him. He pops up and school boys his opponent for the win. Crowd loses their sh*t they're so pissed."
Absolutely incredible.
Never change, professional wrestling.
