WRESTLERS WHO LOVE TO GAMBLE

Combat sports are inherently dangerous, but WWE wrestlers keep pushing the envelope to offer something fresh to the fans. Although the shows are scripted, they still have some of the most outrageous stunts. Wrestlers go through with these stunts, putting all their trust in their training. When the wrestler is at the receiving end of a stunt, all he can do is pray that the opponent executes it cleanly. But WWE has seen wrestlers who keep their fans thrilled with their love for dangerous stunts. 

WWE fans can wager on  bold risk takers in  RAW appearances. View this website to find the best no wagering casinos where fans can play without wagering requirements on bonuses. Here are some of the boldest fighters  in wrestling.

Jeff Hardy 

His swan ton dives always have his fans on the edge of the seat. One of the most spectacular is that which he performed on Randy Orton from a height of 30 feet. Hardy is truly the master of ladder and table stunts. He jumped onto opponents on other ladders and tables in 360-degree backflips. He was always trying to find a twist to these ladder stunts. 

Mick Foley 

Most of the older WWE fans remember Foley slamming into thumb tacks in a Hell in a Cell match against the Undertaker. And that was after being choke slammed. Foley got a busted lip for it, but for him this was just another day on the job. Foley was in many of WWE’s most violent fights, often ending up with real-life injuries. He was without doubt one of the boldest risk takers and set a high bar for fellow wrestlers. 

Edge

The Edge has remained one of the most popular WWE wrestlers because of his ability to give as much as he gets. His performances in Hell in a Cell, Extreme Rules and TLC matches often have surprises. One of the most memorable is fighting against Mick Foley, which left him with real-life bad cuts from barbed wire. He has performed daring versions of his signature move, the Ultimate Spear, against fellow daredevil Jeff Hardy at a height of 15 feet. Their long-running feud was the source of great entertainment while it lasted, each trying to finish the other with outrageous stunts. 

The Undertaker 

Sadly, the Dead Man has retired. But he leaves perhaps the most iconic brand in wrestling history. He has fought and punished all other big names in WWE. ‘Edge Goes to Hell’ is memorable in the way he choke slammed the Edge through the ring. He performed the same move on Mick Foley. The pile driver was his signature finishing move before it was banned, after he broke Steve Austin’s neck with it. He is also memorable for setting his opponents on fire. 

Rey Mysterio 

The masked man was small but lethal, and at one time, the Heavyweight Champion of the World. He could almost fly. His fans loved the bold aerial moves against larger opponents. He was always the underdog because of his smaller size. His array of bold stunts included 360 backflips, moonsaults, Frog splashes and other risky stunts. 

CM Punk

CM Punk has legendary feuds with Jeff Hardy, John Cena and Rey Mysterio. His boldness won him two Money in the Bank titles. In one of the fights, he was pushed off the ladder by Christian in a tarrying fall. His fights were always full of drama and unexpected twists. 

Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam aka RVD is perhaps the greatest of all top rope jumpers in WWE. His flawless jumps to the top of the rope instead of climbing, always wowed the fans. His moves in the ‘Invasion’ are full of bold moves. The most popular was the Five-Star Frog Splash, which endeared him to the fans as one of the boldest risk takers in the storyline. 

Lita 

Lita’s boldness in the ring helped raise the profile of women wrestlers in WWE. Her signature move, the Moonsault Finisher was impressive. She tagged with the Hardy Boyz as Team Extreme, but her looks and moves made her the star of the team. 

John Morrison 

Morrison’s Starship Pain move is described as one of the most difficult to pull off. It was a cross between a corkscrew and a somersault that Morrison could pull off because of his athleticism. His appearance in WWE was brief, but one of the most exciting. 

Bold wrestlers have always made wrestling fans come back for more fun, with their bold stunts. As long as there are fans cheering them on, wrestlers will keep pushing their limits with more gut-wrenching bold stunts. It is what has kept WWE fans glued to their seats all these years.
