    At this point, people are completely aware of the fact that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and some of the other brands who indulge in the same ‘pro-wrestling’ business depend heavily on scripts. Their goal is to entertain us using storylines and presenting a show inside the ring which resides within us for the years to come. 
    In hopes of achieving that, WWE has done various things in the past, such as, making the performers cut themselves with a blade to show blood back in the day to come up with some of the most unusual narratives around the wrestlers (I mean… giving birth to a hand, COME ON NOW!). 

    Although, ever since the company decided to become kids friendly, they have turned down the crazy by a couple of notches and depended on the wrestlers’ acrobats and the ability to sell the moves inside the square ring.
    Having said that, there are a few moments from time to time during which the narratives require the wrestlers to go out of their way, dial in their creativity, and create the illusion of really inflicting pain on their opponents to sell the rivalry between them. 
    Here are a couple of the most simple yet effective ways that the WWE superstars have been doing it for ages now:
    1. Triple H’s Sledgehammer Shots To The Face © WWE
    Let’s start with the most obvious one. During his days as a wrestling headliner, Triple H was known to carry a massive sledgehammer in his hand wherever he went. He would take it out from underneath the ring or would have someone from the crowd hand it to him to turn the tables of the match in an instant.

    However, the ‘deadly shot’ that he used to take with the hammer was more evident that the wrestler thought it to be. Whenever, HHH used to go for a blow, he would cover the hammer with his hand which would absorb the contact between the iron and the face of his opponent.

    2. Randy Orton’s ‘Punt Kick’ © WWE
    When Randy Orton first introduced the world to his new move called the ‘Punt Kick’, people wondered how could the WWE allow something so vicious. Kicking people in the head like a football has to be as inhumane as it gets, right?

    But thanks to the multiple camera angles provided by the brand, fans were quick to find out why Orton’s kick was not as deadly as it would have been in real life. What ‘The Viper’ does is that he quickly swings away from the face of the opponents and ‘kicks the air’ with the rest of the selling of the move completely dependent on the victim.

    3. Headshots With Steel Chair © WWE
    At the time of the ‘Attitude Era’, the company had no issues with wrestlers actually hitting each other on the head with steel chairs but due to multiple athletes coming up with severe concussions due to the move, they had to ban it completely. Now they are only restricted to steel chair shots to the back.

    But recently, Edge found his own way about selling headshots with steel chairs when he was cutting a promo with MVP. During the scene, the ‘Rated R Superstar’ placed MVP’s head on one steel chair and hit the metal with another chair just a few centimeter away from the wrestler’s head. It sounded like the impact was real but MVP was absolutely safe.

    4. Whipping Batista’s Back With A Steel Chain © WWE
    When Triple H and Batista competed in a ‘No Holds Barred’ match at WrestleMania 35, fans thought that the brand was going back to the violent era in which spewing blood and inflicting real damage was a common norm. According to the kayfabe, in the fight between the two legends, Triple H even ripped off Batista’s nose ring at one point. 

    He also began to whip ‘The Animal’ with a massive steel chain with repeated shots to his back with the impact sounding as sadistic as it looked. When the dust settled, the fans watched the videos again and realised that the chain was hitting the announcers’ table and was merely falling onto Batista’s back slowly.

    5. Shawn Michaels’ Sweet-Chin Music © WWE
    Ah! The notorious Shawn Michaels with his kip-ups and over the top jackets. One of the most entertaining wrestlers in the history of the profession, Michaels heavily depended on his finisher move, the ‘Sweet Chin Music’ to get the audience cheering (or booing) him. A swift kick to the chin which would sound like the opponent would only be opening his eyes at the hospital, that was the Heartbreak Kid’s memo.

    After years and years of HBK performing this move, fans finally discovered the source of the devastating thud that came along with the kick. If you closely look at the leg that Michaels used to deliver the blow, you could see that he would slap his thigh with his hand just at the time of making contact with the opponent to make it sound like an absolute knockout.
