The knee I can excuse, because that was on both guys.

The buckle bomb with Sting maybe because he's done it a ton of times without any issues--at that point. Maybe ill-advised at worst given Sting's age, even if it had been 'clean' up until then.

But that barricade bomb is dangerous to the extent that it--at least from my perspective--is 100% on Seth to set the guy up right, and there's a ton of moving parts. That would be the straw that broke the camel's back--or shoulder.

Hart can talk too much in his old age, but maybe he is studying his style and can see that it is on the edge. Maybe he is not doing all the little things well to make guys 100% safe.

Guys like Hart and Flair pride themselves in keeping an opponent 100% safe.

Part of it is how fast paced and risky today's style is, but there still needs to be responsibility on the part of the performer to make sure these things don't happen.

It is a massive blow to Finn Balor, and it all could have been avoided so easily.
