Sure, the moves might hurt, but there's no conceivable way of getting those moves to work in real life. Just look at real wrestling; if powerbombs and hurricanranas worked in real life, there would be no need for the fake stuff.

As for some of the more conceivable moves: DDTs are difficult to do in real life, and not really the best idea; if you don't KO the guy with it, then you're flat on your back and have a pissed off opponent right on top of you, so you're pretty much screwed. As for the Stunner, you're more likely to break your tail-bone than actually hurt your opponent with it. Its cousin, the Diamond Cutter, is even more worthless in a fight, because you're just throwing yourself flat on your back, with very little guarantee that your opponent's coming with you.

Your best bet is with submissions, particularly the judo-based ones. An arm bar or front facelock will do wonders for ending a fight quickly, and if it really comes down to it, a katahajime (Tazzmission) or even a plain Sleeper hold can be lethal if kept on after the opponent goes unconscious. The real fight-enders aren't as flashy as the stuff in WWE, but they get the job done.

That wasnt mentioned in the thread
The thread just said what moves would be most painful

Obviously the unprettier would be hard to do in a real fight, as would the tarantula. But like i said, that wasnt mentioned in the topic starter for the thread
